    I am non resident alien and working as an intern on CPT, can I get full refund?
    Hello, I am non resident alien from India, working as an intern using my CPT from May 2009. I was enrolled as full time student in 2009. I am wondering can I get full refund as significant amount has been held by federal and state. Last time I got the full refund when I used turbo tax but this time turbo tax is showing only 10-15% refund? Also what is best way to file the taxes to get the full refund?

    Please help.

    Thank a lot.

    You can not file your tax return through Turbo Tax. You must file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and send paper return. Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Filing Requirements for Non-Residents
