F1 student on opt tax return?
Hi,
I had 2 questions with regard to my tax filing :
I am from India and was a full-time F-1 student from August 2008 until May 2011 beyond which, I worked in my university until October 2011 under F-1 OPT. In October 2011, I got a job and am continuing working for my job on F1 - OPT status. So because of this I have 2 W-2 forms I.e one from my university and one from my new employer.
1. So when I file for my taxes, do I need to fill in two 1040 NR EZ's or do I combine the wages and with-holding and file them as one?
2. Where can I get information about the deductions that I can use so that I can maximize my tax return?
Thanks a lot.
