Question

Amend 2019 tax returns

Hi,

In 2019 my status had changed from F1 to H1B in October. I filed my tax return using Turbotax but I guess I filed it as a resident and received less amount as tax return. I wanted to amend my tax return for that year. What would be the process to do that?

Thank you,

Ajay

Yes, you can file an amended return for 2019. The refund will not be less if you filed as a resident.

It will be less if you filed as a nonresident as standard deduction is not available for nonresidents except for students from India who is eligible for the standard deduction.

Oh sorry I guess I got confused. So from January to October I was a student on F1 visa. That would mean that I'm exempt from paying taxes for those months right?

Unfortunately no, you are not exempt from federal income tax when you are on F1 student visa.

You are exempt from paying social security and medicare taxes when you are on F1 visa.
