Hello,
I am from pakistan and currently on F1 visa - I am currently on my OPT STEM extension. I filed 1040NR-EZ last year with 8843 form - and I am utterly confused on what forms do I have to file this year

- My total compensation on my w2 box 1 shows up $120XXX and I understand after the treaty between US and Pakistan ($5000) my taxable amount will be $115XXX -- Can I file 1040NR-EZ this year?

- Do I need to file 8843 and/or 8833 with above form?

Although, I am married and have my wife and my child living with me - I understand I cannot claim any deductions for them. Correct?

Please let me know, any help advices is greatly appreciated

Regards,

Form 1040NR-EZ says that to use it your taxable income (line 14 on 1040NR-EZ) must be less than $100K. If you start to fill it out and find that that line is $100K or more, you will have to switch to 1040NR.

Thank you for replying

Also, does my wife, who is on F2 need to file tax return as well? She never worked and has no income - if yes what forms she needs to fill out? (she does not even has a SSN)
