    In about 80% of the cases, Form 1040NR-EZ works find for non-resident alien tax returns, because state income tax withholdings CAN be claimed as an itemized deduction on Form 1040NR-EZ.

    Form 1040NR is needed if you have a Schedule C or if you donated to charity OR if you have large employee business expenses.
