    1040NR Problems
    First of all thanks to AtlantaTaxGuru your answers are really helpful.

    I am on OPT Since Jan 2010 and living in US since Jan 2008 . Following is my tax summary for year 2010.

    Total Income : $36,000 (All from wages No other income)
    Federal tax withheld : $3,600
    New York State tax withheld : $1,600
    Country From : India
    Living in : New Jersey
    Stauts : Single
    On W-4 I had two exemptions . On for single and one for having only one job.

    I don't know why but I didn't get any federal refund . While many of my friends got full refund for federal . I filed 1040NR and 8843 through a CPA which is not answering my phone calls now so I am in a big mess . I will really appreciate it if you can do some calculations and tell me

    1.How much approximate federal and state refund I should get with this figures ?
    2.How much expanse I can show ? I had spent $7000 including travelling,phone bills etc. Can I file 1040NREZ ?

    I totally understand that this will be just your advice and I am responsible for my own taxes .

    You can file Form 1040NR-EZ if you wish, because the standard deduction that is allowed for Indian students can be claimed on that form.

    However, Form 1040NR is acceptable as wwll. Form 1040 is NOT PERMITTED for someone under a F-1 visa on OPT.

    Your federal is only $25. I cannot do a state refund estimate without software support.

    You MAY be able to deduction the traveling costs; it depends on the nature of the travel.
