Hi,

I went on H1B from OPT in Oct 2008 so I am filing the Form 1040 NR-EZ. I am single and resident of India.

My employer has a SEP-IRA plan and it contributed around $3000 towards my SEP-IRA for 2008. I opened an account with fidelity and deposited that amount there.

I read that one can take tax deductions for the SEP-IRA contributions. Where can I take those deductions on 1040 NR-EZ?

Your employer's contribution is NOT deductble on your tax return; only YOUR contribution is deductible.

If you made a contribution, it must be reported on Form 1040NR, not 1040NR-EZ.
