    F1-Cpt -W2-1099 Misc Box 3
    Hi, I have a question about my tax return:

    In 2006-2007, I filed 1040 NR-EZ, but in 2008:

    Jan-July F1 W2 From school

    July-Dec F1 CPT W2 From a company

    1099 Misc Box 3 $1740 for scholarship.

    Subject to tax treaty.

    Question is:

    Can I file 1040 NR-EZ and put both W2 wages in line 3 and deduct $5000 tax treaty?

    Where should I put box 3 income? Can I put it in line 5 scholarship grants since it is from 1099 MISC though it is scholarship? Or I need to file 1040 NR? Can I deduct this income because of tax treaty?


    Thank you so much!

    Because you got a Form 1099-MISC, you must file Form 1040NR. The 1099 income can be reported on Line #12 as "Other Income" because, as a student, you are NOT liable for sefl-employment tax and therefore completing Schedule C is not really needed.
