I finished e-file 2013 Federal Tax as a F-1 resident alien.Here is some
experience, which may be useful for some readers.I am not a certified tax
professional.You need to responsible for your own specific conditions.If
there is an error,please point it out. I also would like to thank rowena for
answering so many questions during this preparation.
Steps:
(1)fill 1040 form line by line by following its instructions,
if you have received 1098-T,you may claim the Tuition and Fees Deduction by
using form 8917 in Line 34 or claim Education credits from form 8863 in Line
47.Note:you can choose either form 8917 or form 8863,BUT you CANNOT use
both of them.For form 1098-T,you need to consider which part of total
qualified expense fees you have actually paid. For example, if your RA or TA
benefits have just paid part of fees, and you paid the rest by yourself.
Then,you can claim what you actually paid (adjusted qualified expense),check
form 8917 instruction for details. Also,in my study and reading of form
1040 instructions,when box 5 number
income. Because page 21 in the 1040 form instruction of 2013 year mentioned
that:"However, if you were a degree candidate, include on line 7 only the
amounts you used for expenses other than tuition and course-related expense.
For example, amounts used for room, board, and travel must be reported on
line 7." So in my comprehension,if your RA or TA scholarship has all been
used for paying the qualified tuition and related expense, it should not
considered as income.And that is why we need to calculate the adjusted
qualified income (what you actually paid for the qualified expense)for form
8917.
(2)I used the Free File Fillable Forms for efile.In this online system, you
can include its supporting forms.The interesting thing is how to get your
Electronic Filing PIN from IRS website.When you check it, you will be a
little disappointed. Because it seems you are not qualified, you used 1040NR
or 1040NR-EZ forms last year, not any qualified version of 1040 form.
However,no worry,just go ahead and input your relevant information,you will
get it.
Hope these information helps.
