Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @CarolC

How do I proof that I maintain a closer connection to a foreign country and have not taken steps to become a lawful permanent resident?

From 8843 line 12 states "you must provide sufficient facts on an attached statement to establish that you do not intend to reside permanently in the United States." What statement and facts would be sufficient for that? 

And if I am considered a Resident Alien for Tax purposes anyway, do I have to file form 1040 even when I don't have any income?
