    How do I file for taxes? (F1 Visa, OPT, Company does not withhold taxes)
    How do I file for taxes? My situation is: F1 Visa, OPT work authorization, Company does NOT withhold taxes. I began work in September 6 2011 (two month probation) and became full time on November 15 2011. I received bi-weekly checks since September 6.

    Assuming you arrived in the U.S. on or after 1 January 2007, you are a non-resident alien and must file Forms 1040NR and Form 8843, plus Schedule C, plus the unidentified state income tax.

    Since they are NOT withholding any taxes, I assume you are being paid under Form 1099-MISC; that is why you must file the Schedule C.
