First time filing 1040NR.
Hi,
I am an Canadian student studying in NYC using f1 visa, but worked as an intern in summer of 2006 in California. I am now currently not in the United States as I am studying abroad in Japan since Oct of 2006... I am pretty sure I count as non-resident alien... I have several questions since I am not exactly sure what I am doing as there are no online tax softwares for 1040NR (I know there are some for 1040NR-EZ but I don't know if they are exactly the same... ) so I guess I'm doing it manually now... I think the only reason I need to file 1040NR instead of 1040NR-EZ is because I own some stocks and had dividend this year (although it was only like $10... )... please correct me if this is not the case! I have to file one W-2 Form, one 1099-DIV, and several 1099-INT... that's about it I have a few questions and help is very very appreciated! 1) I tried to understand what it meant by taxable/exempt interest on line 9a and 9b of 1040NR form, by reading the instructions as well as pub 519... and it seems a little confusing if I need to file those interests earned from savings/CD in the bank... basically the 1099-INTs that I have... I think in pub519 it says that I don't have to report it at all, but I'm not entirely sure.. 2) This is kind of a silly question... since I'm currently not in the US, can I still put my present address in my friend's place in the US? Or do I have to put the foreign address I have now? Does it matter at all? 3) Although I studied in NYC, I didn't have any income there... and since I earned my income in California, I am assuming I need to file State tax in CA only right? 4) All the forms that I need to file, are 1040NR, 8843, and 540NR. Is that correct? Am I missing anything? Thanks first for the help! |

1) If you are a non-resident alien, do NOT report the dividend and interest income. For you, it is tax exempt. Hence, you can use the Form 1040NR-EZ.
2) Put the foreign address. 3) Yes. 4) No, that about covers it. If you need my professional tax help, contact me at [email protected]. |
