    Unless you moved for the OPT and did not get reimbursed, or were reimbursed with taxable income, you will file Form 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843, plus whatever state tax documents are required.

    If you DID move and can claim moving costs, you would file Form 1040NR with Form 8843, plus the Form 3903 to claim the moving costs.
