    Wisconsin STATE TAX
    Hi,
    I have a question regarding filing the WI state TAX . I am on H1 B visa working at WI since NOV . For federal tax I am filing 1040 NR-EZ and 8843 and 1NPR for state TAX . As mentioned in the instruction guide for 1NPR a person filing 1040 NR-EZ as a non resident cannot claim standard deduction . IS this true ?
    I am single and am not claiming as a dependent by another person. So does this points hold true ?

    Line 36a If you (or your spouse, if married filing a joint
    Return) can be claimed as a dependent by another person, check the
    Box. Complete line 36b and see the “Exception” for line 36c.
    Line 36b Aliens
    If for federal tax purposes you are a dual-status or nonresident alien
    For 2005, check the box and fill in 0 on line 36c. You can’t claim a
    standard deduction.


    Please help me out with this
    Thanks

    McLaein:

    If the instructions specifically say you cannot claim the standard deduction on your state income tax, then it must be true.

    The instructions, as depicted above, seem clear enough.
