    Hello,

    What is your current visa? When did you enter the U.S. and on what visa?

    What do you mean by it is not getting deducting? Are you using a software? Which?
    Note that most software don't do nonresident tax return.

    I entered US on F1 visa (entered on Jan 05,Indian) and now I am on H1B visa. I got changed from F1 to H1B in 2007. I am not using any software, just doing it manually. I put $5350 on line 22 of 1040 NR and $3400 on line 39. What I meant by 'not getting deducted' is that 1040 does not deduct $5350 if I put it on line 22. I think I may have to show that amount somewhere in Schedule A (itemized Deductions), but I don't know here to record it. Please help.

    Thanks

    You will put $5,350 on schedule A as standard deduction as per tax treaty and then on line 37 (itemized deduction).
