    F1-OPT status.Do I have to declare for interest earned from a us bank?
    I'm F1-OPT status... Do I have to declare for interest earned from a us bank that aver over $10 and less than $200?? Also can I deduct moving expenses if why met requirements such as more than 39 weeks of work and more than 50 miles from old home? Could I deduct also some expenses related to job search and stuff like that??

    Thank you

    For nonresidents bank interest is not taxable. You can deduct moving expenses if you meet the requirements. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Moving Expenses

    Job search expenses are not deductible.

    Thank you for you help...
    Do I have to put the interest earned on the 1040NR "other information" "L" or it is not necessary? Could I also deduct job search expenses or not?

    "In addition, interest from a U.S. bank, savings and loan association, credit union or similar institution, and from certain deposits with U.S. insurance companies, is tax exempt to a nonresident alien if it is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business."

    Yes, you can deduct these expenses as ITEMIZED MISCELLANEOUS DEDUCTIONS.
