United States non residents are not required to file a return unless they have income subject to tax.  

 

If all you have is the K-1 from a limited partnership that shows a loss, you do not have to file as you have no income subject to tax.

 

However, you may want to file a return to track the loss and possibly have it carried forward to offset future income.

 

A great resource if you are seeking more information is IRS Publication 519, US Tax Guide for Aliens.
