    Dual status alien -- Std deduction for Indian students?
    Hi,

    I was a dual-status alien last year. I'm filing the 1040NR and submitting the 1040 as a statement.

    I was a resident till July and then became a non-resident.

    Can I claim the standard deduction for Indian students (which I am one of) on the 1040NR?

    Thanks

    Yes, if you earned at least $5,150 while you were an Indian student.
