    1040 NR EZ - Advise
    Hi:

    Can somebody advise me if I am eligible for India-US Tax treaty and Standard deduction with the below conditions.

    1) Came to US in Oct '06 (70 days) on a H1B
    2) No other income and Filing single.

    I would like to know if I can apply the $5150 (Tax Treaty) and also $3300 (Std Deduction) on my 1040 NR EZ.

    If yes, where should I put the $5150 deduction.

    Advise.

    You can claim the $3,300 personal exemption, but you are NOT eligible to claim the $5,150 standard deduction.

    The $5,150 standard deduction is available ONLY to those on F-1 or J-1 visas.
