H1B Visa No Income

Hello,

 

My partner entered the US on an H1B visa December 29, 2021. No income, no W2 for the three days of presence in 2021. Her income started in 2022. Her recent days of presence were:

 

2021: 3 days

2020: 0 days

2019: ~340 days (different H1B visa)

 

I believe this means she is a nonresident alien for the 2021 tax filing, but with no US income to report for 2021, does she only need to file Form 8843? It seems like the correct form, but it does not mention H1B anywhere on it or in the instructions. Are any other forms needed?

 

Thank you.
