    CPT + OPT for 2005
    I worked on CPT from May-AUG 2005 and on OPT AUG 2005 to OCT 2005 for my first employeer. And from OCT 2005 to DEC 2005 for my second employer.
    So I have 2 W-2 forms with federal tax witholding.Since I am an indian citizen Should I get full federal refund. Or is there any deduction from my federal refunds.
    I would like to know what are the forms that I need to file for my 2005 returns.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    More than likely, you will file Form 1040NR. Since you are Indian, you get to claim the standard deduction ($5,000) and your personal exemption ($3,200).

    How much you will get back is impossible to tell without the amounts on the two W-2s.
