    wages less than standard deduction?
    Hello All,

    I am citizen of India and have OPT in USA.

    Wages on all w2(s): sum = 1800

    As per standard deduction for single individual = 5700

    How should I do that?

    Thanks

    You should file form 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843. Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Filing Requirements for Non-Residents
