    Non-Resident F-1 Student 1099-MISC
    I worked under an OPT for about 2 1/2 months during 06/01/07-08/15/07, as a contractor doing IT work.

    I received a 1099-MISC form from my employer.
    For Nonemployee compensation : $4715.45
    I am also a citizen of South Korea. I believe we have a tax treaty with the U.S for $2000 correct?
    This makes my earning to $2715.45

    Therefore my question is:
    1. Do I need to file a 1040NR with schedule C?
    2. Is there any more deduction I can take out?
    3. Is there any other forms I need to fill out if I need to file for tax?

    Thank you,
    Won

    On F1/OPT you are nonresident. You must file 2007 tax return if your income is $3,400 or more. You will get exemption of $3,400 and deduction of $2,000 as per tax treaty.
    So you don't have taxable income. You must also file form 8843.
