    F-1 holder cpt taxes foms
    Hi,

    I want to know what are the forms I have to fill to complete my income tax return.

    I am F1 visa holder and I've been doing a cpt during the last 9 months.

    Since I've been working part time, my employer says I don't get a W2 form from them. Instead I got the form 1099-MISC.

    Question 1: What are the forms I have to fill?

    Question 2: Is the form 1099-MISC enough to fill the requiered forms?

    Thanks

    If you have not completed 5 years on F1 and OPT, you will file nonresident tax return.

    Read about nonresident filing:

    You will report 1099-Misc income on schedule C (Form 1040). If you are nonresident then your income on schedule C is exempt from FICA taxes that is you will not file schedule SE.
    How you will treat the 1099-Misc income, read: Your U.S. Tax Return: W2 or 1099: Employee or Independent Contractor.

    Thanks MukatA,

    I am non-resident and I haven't completed 5 years of F1 and OPT, so finally I am submitting these two forms:

    - f1040 Schedulle C
    - f1040NR

    Am I right? May I include the form f8843 to provide information about my school?

    Thank you very much again.
