Non-resident aliens may only deduct expenses for things that are connected with their US trade or business income - that would include state and local taxes, charitable contribuions, casualty and theft losses, and business travel. Real estate taxes and interest payments on a home in the native country don't qualify. See pages 28-31 of:
