1. As an OPT student on an F-1 visa, you are likely to be classified as a non-resident or resident alien for tax purposes. This is determined by the number of years you have lived in the United States. The time that you were on the F1 Visa do not count toward the substantial presence test for five years, so you may not qualify as a resident for 2023- so you would not be able to claim the standard deduction if you do not qualify as resident alien.
2. You would not be able to claim the standard deduction if you file a nonresident alien return.
