Hi, I am a polish student who spent less than 183 days in 2007 in USA, MD with H2B visa. Now I would like to prepare my tax return and... here it starts. I would like to use the form 1040 nrez - should it be OK, are there any other forms that need to be used. Are there any exempts (I am single) that I can use to obtain as much tax return as possible? I would appreciate any info.:confused:

Thanks in advance

If you are a student, yet earned money while in school, you had MOVING expenses when you came to the U.S.

So if you file Form 1040NR instead of 1040NR-EZ, you can deduct the moving expenses using Form 3903.

Other than that, you should be okay.

bartosz will only get exemption deduction of $3,400.

Agreed!

No standard deduction because he is filing as a non-resident alien, and he CANNOT file as a resident under First Year Choice because he is single.
