Hi,

I am a full time student in Texas on f-1- visa and went for an internship to California during the summer. My CPT period was only for 3 months and completed that time with my full time employer. I had a moving expense of like around $800.

Can I fill out 3903 for tax deduction? I read under the time test exceptions that "You are laid off or discharged for a reason other than willful misconduct". Since my CPT period was only for 3 months, it does count to be "discharged for a reason other than willful misconduct".

Sorry, but you do NOT meet the time test needed to claim moving expenses.

You may be able to claim travel expenses that include transportation, lodging and meals. Use Form 2106 or 2106-EZ to figure your allowable expenses that you claim on line 9 of Schedule A (Form 1040NR).

But if I file form 2106, will I still be able to have standard deduction of 5700 and the personal deduction along with it?. I am a F1 student from India..

No, you can either get standard deduction or itemized deductions.

You claim the standard deduction OR the itemized deduction, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER!
