    f1 resident alien
    I entered the US on F1 visa in August 2004 as an undergraduate. I am still on F1 status as a graduate student. I filed the 1040 NR form until 2008 tax year.

    In the tax year 2009:
    1. Should I file as a Resident Alien?

    2. My university has withheld federal taxes from a non-qualified scholarship (fellowship). This is self-reported income for US citizens; taxes are only withheld for international students. Will I be able to be able to get a refund on this withholding if I file as a Resident Alien?

    3. Can the US-India treaty (Article 21-2) deductions be claimed in form 1040?

    Thanks a lot for your help and time.

    For 2009 you will file resident tax return. You do not get any treaty deduction on the resident return.
