Deductions & credits

@Eddie242424 , please note that if you file as a resident for tax purposes, you generally cannot raise tax treaty conditions.  It may be safer for you confirm that you had passed the  SPT ( Substantial Presence Test ), you have no intention of staying in the USA and there you are allowed to assert treaty benefits.

 

Based on your visa ( H-1B ) , not having met SPT in 2021 but meeting SPT in 2022, you probably can ask to be treated as a resident for tax purposes ( it still would not allow you to use standard deduction but may allow you to exclude your income for the year 2021 from US taxation.).

As far as W-2 is concerned , you have a choice of

       (1)  your employer issuing a corrected  W-2 ( W-2c ) -- suspect they will be unwilling because it is late  and because  for W-2 they are required to collect Federal and State taxes )

OR

       (2) using the 1042-S and W-2 to essentially create a corrected W-2  for purposes of filing the return --- IRS has both of these on file

 

Hope this helps.
