I am L1 Visa holder who was in USA from March-May 2007. I wanted to know the following:

1. Am I eligible to claim the Standard Deduction (USD 5350) under India-US Tax Treaty.

2. Do I need to make any special note regarding the treaty anywhere on 1040NR-EZ.

3. Can the personal exemption ($3400) be claimed apart from the Standard Deduction?

Would appreciate any help.

Regards,
Vivek

1) No; that is only for "J" and "F" visa holders.

2) No, because you are NOT eligible to claim the standard deduction.

3) You ARE eligible for the $3,400 personal exemption, though.
