Questions

Visa status, first-year returns, Indian income, FBAR vs FATCA, state moves and IRS letters.

### What is the difference between Form 1040 and Form 1040-NR?

Residents for tax purposes file Form 1040 and are taxed on worldwide income; non-residents file Form 1040-NR and are generally taxed only on US-source income. In the year you arrive or leave you may be "dual-status", which has its own rules. We work out which applies before preparing anything.

### I am on F-1 or OPT — do I have to pay Social Security and Medicare tax?

F-1 students who are non-resident aliens are generally exempt from Social Security and Medicare (FICA) tax on qualifying student employment, including OPT. If your employer withheld it by mistake, it can usually be recovered — tell us and we will look at your pay stubs and W-2.

### I arrived on an H-1B mid-year. How is my first-year return filed?

Your first US year is often a dual-status year: non-resident for part of the year and resident for the rest. Depending on your situation there may be elections that change how you file — for example, being treated as a resident for the full year to file jointly with your spouse. We compare the options and file the one that fits.

### Can my spouse without an SSN file jointly with me?

Often, yes. A non-resident spouse can elect to be treated as a US resident so you can file jointly, which needs an ITIN for the spouse. We handle the election, the Form W-7 and the paper filing together.

### Do I have to report income from India on my US return?

If you are a US resident for tax purposes, yes — residents are taxed on worldwide income, including Indian interest (for example on NRO accounts), rent and capital gains. Indian tax you have already paid can usually be claimed as a foreign tax credit, so the same income is not taxed twice.

### What is FATCA, and is it different from the FBAR?

They are separate filings. The FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) is filed with FinCEN once your foreign accounts together exceed $10,000. FATCA reporting (Form 8938) is filed with your tax return once your specified foreign assets pass a higher threshold — for a single filer living in the US, more than $50,000 at year-end or $75,000 at any time. Many clients need both, and we file both.

### I moved to another state during the year. How many state returns do I need?

Usually a part-year resident return for each state you lived in, and sometimes a non-resident return for a state where you worked but did not live. We prepare federal and every state you need — all 50 states are covered.

### I made a mistake on a past return. Can it be fixed?

Yes. An amended return (Form 1040-X) corrects filing status, income, deductions or credits. It generally has to be filed within three years of the original return (or two years of paying the tax), so it is worth fixing sooner rather than later.

### I received a letter from the IRS. What should I do?

Do not ignore it — most letters have a response deadline. Send it to us: we review what the IRS is asking, prepare the response and, through our tax representation service, deal with the IRS on your behalf, including audit support.

### I am a student from India. Can I claim the standard deduction?

Often, yes. Most non-residents cannot take the standard deduction, but the US–India tax treaty (Article 21) lets eligible Indian students and business apprentices claim it — a benefit generic software frequently misses. We check your eligibility and apply it.

### Can a non-resident return (Form 1040-NR) be e-filed?

Yes — the IRS accepts e-filed Form 1040-NR, which is faster and easier to track than paper. The exception is a return that goes with a new ITIN application, which must be filed on paper with the Form W-7; we handle that paper filing for you.

### I am leaving the US this year. What do I need to file?

Your final US year is often a dual-status year, and the right return depends on your residency dates, your income before and after you leave, and any assets you keep in the US. Tell us your departure date and we will plan the final return — and any filings you may still need afterwards.

### I live in a state with no income tax. Do I need a state return?

Some states, such as Texas, Florida and Washington, have no state income tax on wages, so you may not need a state return there. You may still need one for another state where you lived or earned income during the year — we check every state you touched.

### Still not sure?

Tell us your situation and we'll route you to the right filing.
