Hi. I am a student from India currently on a F1 visa. For a tax purposes, I am now considered as a resident alien. I want to know whether I can still use the tax treaty exemption? I am using Turbo Tax to file my taxes, how can I include this information ?
You may qualify. Please read the blue link carefully to verify if you meet the requirements. Click here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p901.pdf, page 19 under India
To enter the tax treaty exemption in the program, here are the steps:
@LinaJ2020 It says that the individual must file 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ (which I guess are Non Resident forms). Since I have been here for more than 5 years now, I can not use 1040NR (at least this is my understanding).
What date did you first arrive in the US on an F1 student visa?
You will be a nonresident for five years 2014-2018. Starting from January 1st, 2019, if you stay more than 183 days within the year, you will be a resident for tax purposes.
