Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@feuerfawkes , Having read through this chain and generally agreeing with @Opus 17 , would like to add the following:
(a) Not having met the Substantial Presence Test for the year 2022 and absent any request to be considered a Resident for Tax Purposes, you are a Non-Resident Alien for the year 2022
(b) you therefore file your return on form 1040-NR ( Not supported by TurboTax --- see SprinTax, Your School Foreign Students Office, Tax professional, download "fillable" forms from IRS etc. )
(c) As a student/Trainee from India you would indeed come under "treated as US students " of Article 20 of US-India Tax Treaty.
(d) However, the questions here is Are you a student / trainee? Mostly students while in OPT / CPT / Gap are on F/J/M visa. H-1 mostly implies that your employer has requested employment visa for you ( even though there are cases when a student/ trainee is with H visa). Please could you provide more details of your situation -- when arrived, Which country ( India ), is this the first entry etc. etc. I ask this because if you are not considered "student/Trainee" then using 1040-NR would require you to use Itemized deduction.
I will circle back once I hear from you --yes?
