Hi,
I am an F1 student, who is working as a research assistant. I have just bought a house and also paid annual tax. Now, how can I file a tax refund?
Thanks

I am sorry that I was not clear at my question. As an F1 student, I think I should file 1040nr or 1040nr-ez. So, I am wondering if I can use annual tax I paid for my house as a deduction. And regarding to home buyer credit, does it apply for nonresident alien?
Thanks,

Sorry, but non-resident aliens filing a non-resident alien return can NOT claim the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer's Credit nor can they deduct real estate taxes or mortgage interest.
