F1-OPT-H1b std deduction CINTAX
I read in one of threads the Atlanta Tax Expert suggested the use of CINTAX and I tried to use it today, but to my surprise it did not fill the $5,000 treaty exemption or the standard exemption in the 1040 NR EZ form that it generated though it asked if I ever used the treaty exemption in 2004 and I mentioned it was under India article 21(2) [a US std. deduction of $ 4850].
My details:
Used 1040 NR-EZ and 8843 for 03 and 04 tax years.
F1 - August 2003 to December 2004
OPT from January 11 '2005 to July 10 '2005
H1 - since July 10 '2005
Kindly let me know if I can claim the deduction though the software did not generate it?
It is my understanding that it could have been just a software glitch or am I just not qualified to claim the $5000 standard deduction?
Your response shall be really appreciated.
Thanks
Modi.
