Hi,
I have a question regarding filing the WI state TAX . I am on H1 B visa working at WI since NOV . For federal tax I am filing 1040 NR-EZ and 8843 and 1NPR for state TAX . As mentioned in the instruction guide for 1NPR a person filing 1040 NR-EZ as a non resident cannot claim standard deduction . IS this true ?
I am single and am not claiming as a dependent by another person. So does this points hold true ?

Line 36a If you (or your spouse, if married filing a joint
Return) can be claimed as a dependent by another person, check the
Box. Complete line 36b and see the “Exception” for line 36c.
Line 36b Aliens
If for federal tax purposes you are a dual-status or nonresident alien
For 2005, check the box and fill in 0 on line 36c. You can’t claim a
standard deduction.

Please help me out with this
Thanks

If the instructions specifically say you cannot claim the standard deduction on your state income tax, then it must be true.

The instructions, as depicted above, seem clear enough.
