    If you did not spend 5 years on F1 or CPT, you will file nonresident tax return and Form 8843.

    If your CPT is scheduled to last longer than 39 weeks, you can claim moving expenses to NJ using Form 1040NR and Form 3903.

    You CANNOT claim daily living expenses, because the IRS does NOT consider a CPT/OPT job to be temporary in nature.
