How are non-residents aliens taxed on Capital Gain (shares), Dividends and Interest?
Hi,
I lived in the US from 2000-2004. I've lived outside the US since 2004. I held a green card for 6 odd years before surrendering it on 31-Dec-07. For the years 2004-2007, I filed as tax resident even though I was out of the country, because I held a green card.
Its time to file my 2008 tax returns - and because I no longer have a green card, I presume I can file 1040-NR; and it is due on Jun-15, instead of Apr-15.
I have no US earned salary/wages and typically only make 2-3 business trips per year (i.e. 2-3 weeks) to the US. With these, would appreciate some help understanding tax status of :
b) my rental property in US -
c) some mutual fund dividends
d) some bank interest
e) some capital gains (mixed short/long term) from selling shares.
f) made some cash donations to US based charities in 2008
How would all of the above items be treated from a tax perspective? Are they all tax exempt?
Thanks
