    Assuming your visa is still F-1, you are STILL an non-resident alien.

    If you have earned income in 2010, you must file Form 1040NR-EZ plus Form 8843 plus the state income tax return.

    If there is NO income, you must STILL submit Form 8843 in the two-page version which is signed and mailed to the IRS at the Austin, Texas facility.
