    2006, On campus and OPT, Pakistan
    Hi
    I have very simple question. I'm from pakistan and have tax treaty of 5000$. I'm filling 1040nr-ez.
    I have two forms.
    1040S (1900$, No tax with-held) from school for on campus work. Since 1900$ are less than 5000$ exemption amount so school didn't issue w2 form.
    I was given W2 form from company. I was paying regular taxes while I was on OPT work from day one.
    My status was F-1 in 2006. But I was full time student only until Mid of may,06.
    Question.
    How can I use my remaining exemption amount? 5000-1900=3100$
    Thanks

    You can use the exemption against your OPT salary, which I assume was greater than $5,000.

    Thank you sir, one more question. Can I subtract 3100$ (remaining amount of exemption) from my w2 wages and write that in line 3 of 1040NR-ez?
    Can I also use the standard deduction of 3300$ for single person?
    Thanks
