Hello,
Someone, please help me. I have spent my whole day trying to figure out how to file a federal income tax filing. It was very frustrating.
I am on a F-1 visa and a national of Republic of Korea (South Korea).
Q1. Last year, I received scholarship. It is a qualified education expense, and it is excludable. (I am a degree candidate, and it was applied directly towards the tuition. I never saw the money.)
In this case, where do I put this in? I am filling in a 1040NR right now. Do I not even need to put this into 1040NR because it is excludable? Or do I write it in Line 12 and also have it excluded by writing the same amount in Line 30?
Q2. Last year, I have done an externship and received a 1090-Misc for the stipend I received. Which line of 1040NR do I write this into? Is it Line 13 biz income?
In that case, do I do a Schedule C? The amount on 1090-Misc is $6,000. And where do I put that amount in Schedule C?
By the way, I am supposed to get $2,000 exemption under the tax treaty between US and Korea. So do I put this amount in the Other expenses of Schedule C and explain that it is a tax treaty exemption in Part V? (I am assuming that tax treaty exemption amount has to be written into Line 22 of 1040NR as well.)
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction. I was surprised that even local IRS employees were not familiar with what to do in case of non-resident aliens.
I would be very grateful if you could answer me through this board. Thanks in advance.
