    F-1 closer connection exception
    Hi,


    I have been present in the U.S. for more than 5 years as a student, and am currently finishing up my OPT. Has anyone had experiences with filing as a non-resident for tax purposes under the Closer Connection Exception for Students (the second one listed under: The Closer Connection Exception to the Substantial Presence Test for Foreign Students

    My OPT expires in early 2008, upon which I plan to leave the country, and I just thought it would make more sense to countinue filing (2006, 2007) as non-resident until then (since I am still in F-1 student status). Does anyone know what happens if my claim is rejected; do I just have to refile or are there penalties, etc?


    Thanks a lot,

    S.

    In my opinion, you have NO CHANCE of arguing a closer connection given the length of stay in the U.S.

    Sorry!
