    If you have not yet filed, contact me at [email protected] for professional help.

    You would file form 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843, plus the NY state return.

    Form 1098=T s worthless to you, because, as a non-resident alien, you CANNOT claim any education credit or deduction.

    You CANNOT use TurboTax to file your federal return, though it may be useful for the NY state return. If you filed the federal return using TurboTax, you file incorrectly!

    No, your rent is NOT deductible.
