Standard Deduction for L1-B ?
Hi,
I went to US between jan 19th 2008 and may 17th 2008 - four months. My first visit to US.
Visa - L1-B
Went to work at client location for indian company.
Got my W2.
Now decided to file 1040NR-EZ and filled it.
Right now, in Itemized deductions is filled in only my State tax... which is coming to about $600...
But can I use any treaty benefits to make it a standard deduction?
Can I use the below?
"Tax exemption based on tax treaty on wages
article 21(2) of india us tax treaty $5450"
I understand that I am not a student or business apprentice, but I am not able to find the 2008 version of Pub 519. Has anything changed from the 2007 version?
Please let me know asap.
