I just donated $1. I am happy I can do something for a noble cause. I do not care if it gives me the access code for cintax or not.
Do F1-students living in New York City need to fill New York state income tax return? How much deduction do the F1-Student get who live in New York city?
I am receiving stipend from the university. I got 1042 S form to file the tax return. From the earlier discussion, I know that I have to fill 1040 NR-EZ form. As you mentioned, I can use CINTAX. If I need to send document by printing to tax office, then what is difference between the filling the respective form by downloading from IRS and using CINTAX. Moreover, how much standard deduction that student in F1 visa get in New york? Do you have any information to submit tax return online for students?
Hi
i am in US since 2007 fall. i am receiving stipend as GA. while filing 2007 tax return, i didn’t know which form to file so i filed it online using tax software. recently i came to know that i filed the wrong one. Now for 2008, i want to file 1040 NR EZ which is the correct one to file so far i know. But i am not sure whether i should file 8843 or not.Also will there be any problem if i file 1040 NR-EZ this year although i filed 1040 last year? i hope my confusion would be clear….
dear prameya,
your acess code provided is not working and i am agian try to acess but cant work the link you mentioned.
Hello Again Deepak,
Mahesh is correct, under the conditions you put forth, you would either need to fill out 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.
The 1040NR-EZ as it sounds is easy(ier)!
Also, if you are a student you can use CINTAX for free to file your tax, it will automatically choose the correct form and fill it out for you. You just need to sign it and mail it.
If you are having trouble donating $1 to verify your identity, please email us at [email protected] from you university email account with your full name and mailing address. I will manually enter you in the system.
I usually check my email often, so you should receive your access information within a few hours.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Deepak,
I am in the same status as yours. I used from 1040NR-EZ for tax filing. the title of the form is “u.s.income tax return for certain nonresident aliens with no dependent.
two things you must considered;
1. you are nonresident aleins
2. you are single ( for 4 years you are single for tax purpose even you are married).
thank you once again Prameya,
i still have one more question for you, if you don’t mind!!
People say to use Turbo tax to file the tax..i have seen different form available on IRS website. Since i am a F1 from Nepal, usually what type of form is used to file the tax…is it 1040 or 1040 NR..i calculated using those two different form. when i used 1040..it says i have 0$ as a tax to pay( with standard deduction), but when i used 1040 NR..it says i have 34$..In addition to 3777.71$ as my wages i have 50$ interest from my bank..thus i owe 34$ as a tax as by 1040 NR….
If you figure out this confusion of mine on choosing the appropriate form..it will help me a lot to solve this tax issue of mine.
thanking you!!
Thanks for your information. and regarding my state tax..what i have to do for that…since i am staying here in West Virginia. that 29$ is only for federal or it includes for the state too…Since i am in F1..which form is appropriate for me to file..because iam in confusion with 1040 NR or 1040..Please this information will be helpful

Hi,
I came to US last fall 08. I have been receiving stipend as a GAs. When i filled up the W4 form..there was some mistake… thats why my employer didn’t deduct any tax from my pay cheque, i.e, i was receiving the total stipend without any tax cut. I got my W2 form, it shows my income wages to be $3777.71..So, i am in deliema what should i do now, when i file a tax..will there be any penalty?will i get any refund back?
waiting for your reply?
thanks
aanchal,
you are non-resident alien, since you have been here for a year only. you will be resident for tax purpose in the fifth year. the company might have put you as resident is the reason you are getting much refund.
I am in US as a F1 student for 2 years. I don’t work anywhere as a tax payer but pay all the tution fees. Is there anyway I can file tax return.
Hi,
I came to US last year (January, 2008) as a F1 student. When I contacted Jackson Hewitt(JH), a tax consultant, the refund they calculated was much, as compared to those filing online on their own.
Other Nepalese use the service from JH and they have been doing so since long. Does it create any complication later?
Am I a resident or non-resident alien for the tax purpose?
If I am single(unmarried) and earn approx. USD 21000 and have tax withheld of USD 2100, approximately how much will be refunded?
pls answer.
I am a J-1 visa holder. I came here for internship. Am i eligible for free tax filing. I don’t have any University or college in US unlike F-1 visa holder.
Please answer.
