Indian Citizen working on F-1 OPT, can I file 1098-T for Education Deduction?
I am an Indian citizen working in the United States on my F-1 OPT. I took a part-time course at UC Berkeley in the summer of 2020 and they mailed me a Form 1098-T. When I added it to my TurboTax, it shows that I could receive education credits for it.
If I arrived in the US on August 15, 2015 and was present in the US throughout 2019 and 2020, do I qualify to file a resident tax return? And can I therefore claim the education deduction?
Additionally, I did not receive any stimulus payments but TurboTax claims I was owed both. Is this correct?
