F1 to EAD/OPT: Tax Exemptions
Hi.
Here's the situation:
1. Student on F1 in SC from Aug 2005 to Aug 2007.
- Received W2 from University
2. Working with New Employer in MD from Aug 2007 to Dec 2007 on EAD/OPT.
- Received W2 from Company
- Company has refunded FICA taxes
- I was supposed to receive $3000 as relocation money. But I received only $1900. The Taxable income amount in the W-2 includes the $3000.
I know I have to file 1040NR-EZ. I have a few questions:
- I know I claim the single filing status claim. So will get an exemption of $3400. Right?
- Can I claim both the standard deduction of $5350 and the US-India tax treaty?
- Can I get the taxes deducted for my moving expenses refunded using 3903?
Now regarding state taxes.
- I moved out of SC to MD in Aug 2007. Do I have to file for SC as Part Year Resident or Part Year Non-Resident?
- Do I have to file for MD as Part Year Resident/Part Year Non-Resident
- What standard/other deductions are available for MD?
Thanks for your time.
