Deductions & credits

No. As an F1 student, she would need to file a 1040 NR return, which does not allow a standard deduction. As far as claiming a foreign tax credit on income earned in India, since she would be filing a 1040 NR, this income would not be required to be filed on a 1040 NR thus a Foreign Tax Credit would not be claimed if that is the deduction you are referring to under the US/India treaty.

 

Turbo Tax does not prepare 1040 NR returns but our affiliate at Sprint Tax does. Contact them for further information regarding the filing of a 1040 NR return.
