Hi,

I am a little confused about which form to use. Summary of my taxes is below:

1. I was in USA for the whole year 2007 and never went out of US.
2. I have 3 (three) W2 forms
3. I have a 1099-MISC form
4. I am from India.

My question is which form should I use out of 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR?
I also want to know if there is a tax treaty between India and USA and if yes then how can I use that treaty?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best,
AJ

You will file 1040NR. The treaty benefit between India and the US allows you standard deduction.
Read this about the tax treaty: Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Treaties for Students and Apprentices (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/us-tax-treaties-for-students-and.html)

Standard deduction means $3400 or $5000?
