information on receiving IRS assistance
in completing the forms).

Resident Alien or
Nonresident Alien
If you are not a citizen of the United
States, specific rules apply to determine
if you are a resident alien or a
nonresident alien for tax purposes.
Generally, you are considered a
resident alien if you meet either the
green card test or the substantial
presence test for 2009. (These tests
are explained below and on page 2.)
Even if you do not meet either of these
tests, you may be able to choose to be
treated as a U.S. resident for part of
2009. See First-Year Choice in chapter
1 of Pub. 519 for details.
Generally, you are considered a
nonresident alien for the year if you are
not a U.S. resident under either of
these tests. However, even if you are a
U.S. resident under one of these tests,
you still may be considered a
nonresident alien if you qualify as a
resident of a treaty country within the
meaning of an income tax treaty
between the United States and that
country. You can download the
complete text of most U.S. tax treaties
at www.irs.gov. Technical explanations
for many of those treaties are also
available at that site.
For more details on resident and
nonresident status, the tests for
residence, and the exceptions to them,
see Pub. 519.

Green Card Test
You are a resident for tax purposes if
you were a lawful permanent resident
(immigrant) of the United States at any
time during 2009 and you took no steps
to be treated as a resident of a foreign
country under an income tax treaty.
(However, see Dual-Status Taxpayers
on page 3.) In most cases you are a

lawful permanent resident if the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) (or its predecessor
organization, INS) has issued you an
alien registration card, also known as a
green card.
If you surrender your green card,
your status as a resident for tax
purposes will not change until you
receive an official notice from the
USCIS that there has been a final
administrative or judicial determination
that your green card has been revoked
or abandoned.
Until you receive this official
notice, you remain a resident for
CAUTION tax purposes even if the USCIS
would not recognize the validity of your
green card because it is more than ten
years old or because you have been
absent from the United States for a
period of time.
For more details, including special
rules that apply if you give up your
green card after holding it in at least 8
of the prior 15 years, see Pub. 519.

!

Substantial Presence Test
You are considered a U.S. resident if
you meet the substantial presence test
for 2009. You meet this test if you were
physically present in the United States
for at least:
1. 31 days during 2009, and
2. 183 days during the period 2009,
2008, and 2007, using the following
chart.

Total testing days (add

Generally, you are treated as
present in the United States on any day
that you are physically present in the
country at any time during the day.
However, there are exceptions to this
rule. In general, do not count the
following as days of presence in the
United States for the substantial
presence test.
• Days you commute to work in the
United States from a residence in
Canada or Mexico if you regularly
commute from Canada or Mexico.
• Days you are in the United States for
less than 24 hours when you are in
transit between two places outside the
United States.
• Days you are in the United States as
a crew member of a foreign vessel.
• Days you intend, but are unable, to
leave the United States because of a
medical condition that arose while you
were in the United States.

• Days you are an exempt individual
(defined next).

Exempt individual. For these
purposes, an exempt individual is
generally an individual who is a:
• Foreign government-related
individual,
• Teacher or trainee who is temporarily
present under a “J” or “Q” visa,
• Student who is temporarily present
under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa, or
• Professional athlete who is
temporarily in the United States to
compete in a charitable sports event.
Note. Alien individuals with “Q” visas
are treated as either students, teachers,
or trainees and, as such, are exempt
individuals for purposes of the
substantial presence test if they
otherwise qualify. “Q” visas are issued
to aliens participating in certain
international cultural exchange
programs.
See Pub. 519 for more details
regarding days of presence in the
United States for the substantial
presence test.

Closer Connection to Foreign
Country
Even though you otherwise would meet
the substantial presence test, you can
be treated as a nonresident alien if you:
• Were present in the United States for
fewer than 183 days during 2009,
• Establish that during 2009 you had a
tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2009 you had a
closer connection to one foreign
country in which you had a tax home
than to the United States unless you
had a closer connection to two foreign
countries.
See Pub. 519 for more information.
Closer connection exception for
foreign students. If you are a foreign
student in the United States, and you
have met the substantial presence test,
you still may be able to claim you are a
nonresident alien. Answer the following
questions.
Yes No
1. Do you intend to reside
permanently in the United
States?
2. Have you taken any steps to
change your U.S. immigration
status to lawful permanent
resident?
3. Have you substantially
complied with the U.S.
immigration laws for your
student nonimmigrant status
during your stay in the United
States?
4. During your stay in the United
States, have you maintained a
closer connection with a
foreign country than with the
United States?

-2-

If you answered “No” to questions 1
and 2 and “Yes” to questions 3 and 4,
you qualify to exclude days of presence
as a student. You must file a fully
completed Form 8843 with the IRS to
do so. See Form 8843 in chapter 1 of
Pub. 519.
You cannot use the closer
connection exception to remain
CAUTION a nonresident alien indefinitely.
You must have in mind an estimated
departure date from the United States
in the near future.

!

Dual-Status Taxpayers
Note. If you elect to be taxed as a

special instructions and restrictions
discussed here do not apply.

Dual-Status Tax Year
A dual-status year is one in which you
change status between nonresident
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2009)

and resident alien. Different U.S.
income tax rules apply to each status.
Most dual-status years are the years
of arrival or departure. Before you
arrive in the United States, you are a
nonresident alien. After you arrive, you
may or may not be a resident,
depending on the circumstances.
If you become a U.S. resident, you
stay a resident until you leave the
United States. You may become a
nonresident alien when you leave if you
meet both of the following conditions.
• After leaving (or after your last day of
lawful permanent residency if you met
the green card test) and for the
remainder of the calendar year of your
departure, you have a closer
connection to a foreign country than to
the United States.
• During the next calendar year you
are not a U.S. resident under either the
green card test or the substantial
presence test.
See Pub. 519 for more information.

What and Where To File for a
Dual-Status Year
If you were a U.S. resident on the last
day of the tax year, file Form 1040.
Enter “Dual-Status Return” across the
top and attach a statement showing
your income for the part of the year you
were a nonresident. You can use
Form 1040NR-EZ as the statement;
enter “Dual-Status Statement” across
the top. Do not sign Form 1040NR-EZ.
File your return and statement with the
Department of the Treasury; Internal
Revenue Service Center; Austin, TX
73301-0215 U.S.A.
If you were a nonresident on the last
day of the tax year, file Form
1040NR-EZ. Enter “Dual-Status Return”
across the top and attach a statement
showing your income for the part of the
year you were a U.S. resident. You can
use Form 1040 as the statement; enter
“Dual-Status Statement” across the top.
Do not sign Form 1040. File your return
and statement with the Department of
the Treasury; Internal Revenue Service
Center; Austin, TX 73301-0215 U.S.A.
Statements. Any statement you file
with your return must show your name,
address, and identifying number (see
page 4).

Income Subject to Tax for
Dual-Status Year
As a dual-status taxpayer not filing a
joint return, you are taxed on income
from all sources for the part of the year
you were a resident alien. Generally,
you are taxed on income only from U.S.
sources for the part of the year you
were a nonresident alien. However, all
income effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the
United States is taxable.
Income you received as a
dual-status taxpayer from sources
outside the United States while a
resident alien is taxable even if you
became a nonresident alien after
receiving it and before the close of the

-3-

tax year. Conversely, income you
received from sources outside the
United States while a nonresident alien
is not taxable in most cases even if you
became a resident alien after receiving
it and before the close of the tax year.
Income from U.S. sources is taxable
whether you received it while a
nonresident alien or a resident alien.

Restrictions for Dual-Status
Taxpayers
Standard deduction. You cannot take
the standard deduction even for the
part of the year you were a resident
alien.
Head of household. You cannot use
the Head of household Tax Table
column.
Joint return. You cannot file a joint
return unless you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (see Election To Be
Taxed as a Resident Alien on this
page) instead of a dual-status taxpayer.
Tax rates. If you were married and a
nonresident of the United States for all
or part of the tax year and you do not
make the election to be taxed as a
resident alien as discussed on this
page, you must use the Married filing
separately Tax Table column to figure
your tax on income effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business. If married, you cannot use
the Single Tax Table column.
Deduction for exemptions. As a
dual-status taxpayer, you usually will be
entitled to your own personal
exemption. Subject to the general rules
for qualification, you are allowed an
exemption for your spouse in figuring
taxable income for the part of the year
you were a resident alien. The amount
you can claim for these exemptions is
limited to your taxable income
(determined without regard to
exemptions) for the part of the year you
were a resident alien. You cannot use
exemptions (other than your own) to
reduce taxable income to below zero
for that period.
Special rules apply for exemptions
for the part of the year a dual-status
taxpayer is a nonresident alien if the
taxpayer is a resident of Canada,
Mexico, or South Korea; a U.S.
national; or a student or business
apprentice from India. See Pub. 519 for
more information.
Tax credits. You cannot take the
earned income credit, the credit for the
elderly or disabled, or any education
credit unless you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (see Election To Be
Taxed as a Resident Alien on this
page) instead of a dual-status taxpayer.
For information on other credits, see
chapter 6 of Pub. 519.

How To Figure Tax for
Dual-Status Tax Year
When you figure your U.S. tax for a
dual-status year, you are subject to
different rules for the part of the year
you were a resident and the part of the
year you were a nonresident.

All income for the period of
residence and all income that is
considered to be effectively connected
with a trade or business in the United
States for the period of nonresidence,
after allowable deductions, is combined
and taxed at the same rates that apply
to U.S. citizens and residents.
Credit for taxes paid. You are
allowed a credit against your U.S.
income tax liability for certain taxes you
paid or are considered to have paid or
that were withheld from your income.
These include:
1. Tax withheld from wages earned in
the United States and taxes withheld
at the source from scholarship
income from U.S. sources.
When filing Form 1040, show the
total tax withheld on line 61. Enter
amounts from the attached statement

your SSN. If you do not have an SSN
but are eligible to get one, you should
apply for it. Get Form SS-5, Application
for a Social Security Card, online at
www.socialsecurity.gov/online/SS-5.
html, from your local Social Security
Administration (SSA) office, or by
calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
Fill in Form SS-5 and bring it to your
local SSA office in person, along with
original documentation showing your

are a J-1 exchange visitor, you also
must show your Form DS-2019.
It usually takes about 2 weeks to get
an SSN once the SSA has all the
evidence and information it needs.
IRS individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN). If you do not have and
are not eligible to get an SSN, you must
enter your ITIN whenever an SSN is
requested on your tax return.
For details on how to apply for an
ITIN, see Form W-7, Application for IRS
Individual Taxpayer Identification

depends on your filing status. Before
you decide which box to check, read
the following explanation.
Were you single or married? If you
were married on December 31, 2009,
consider yourself married for the whole
year. If you were single, divorced, or
legally separated under a decree of
divorce or separate maintenance on
December 31, consider yourself single
for the whole year. If you meet the tests
described under Married persons who
live apart, later on this page, you can
consider yourself single for the whole
year.
If your spouse died in 2009, consider
yourself married to that spouse for the
whole year, unless you remarried
before the end of 2009.
U.S. national. A U.S. national is an
individual who, although not a U.S.
citizen, owes his or her allegiance to
the United States. U.S. nationals
include American Samoans and
Northern Mariana Islanders who chose

-4-

to become U.S. nationals instead of
U.S. citizens.
Married persons who live apart.
Some married persons who have a
child and who do not live with their
spouse can file as single. If you meet
all five of the following tests and you
are a married resident of Canada,
Mexico, or South Korea, or you are a
married U.S. national, check the box on
line 1.
1. You file a return separate from
your spouse.
2. You paid more than half the cost
to keep up your home in 2009.
3. You lived apart from your spouse
for the last 6 months of 2009.
Temporary absences for special
circumstances, such as for business,
medical care, school, or military
service, count as time lived in the
home.
4. Your home was the main home of
your child, stepchild, or foster child for
more than half of 2009. Temporary
absences by you or the child for special
circumstances, such as school,
vacation, business, or medical care,
count as time the child lived with you. If
the child was born or died in 2009, you
still can file as single as long as the
home was that child’s main home for
the part of the year he or she was alive.
5. You can claim a dependency
exemption for the child (on Form
1040NR) or the child’s other parent
claims him or her as a dependent under
the rules for children of divorced or
separated parents. See Form 8332,
Release/Revocation of Release of
Claim to Exemption for Child by
Custodial Parent.
Adopted child. An adopted child is
always treated as your own child. An
adopted child includes a child lawfully

Foster child. A foster child is any
child placed with you by an authorized
placement agency, or by judgment,
decree, or other order of any court of

Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
You can round off cents to whole
dollars on your return. If you do round
to whole dollars, you must round all
amounts. To round, drop amounts
under 50 cents and increase amounts
from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar.
For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and
$2.50 becomes $3.
If you have to add two or more
amounts to figure the amount to enter
on a line, include cents when adding
the amounts and round off only the
total.

Also, enter “HSH” and the amount not
reported on a Form W-2 on the dotted
line next to line 3.
• Tip income you did not report to your

education savings account. Also, do not
include interest from a U.S. bank,
savings and loan association, credit
union, or similar institution (or from
certain deposits with U.S. insurance

871(i) because the interest is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. Do not add any
tax-exempt interest to your line 3 total.
Line 4 — Taxable refunds, credits, or
offsets of state and local income
taxes. If you received a refund, credit,
or offset of state or local income taxes
in 2009, you may receive a
Form 1099-G. If you chose to apply
part or all of the refund to your 2009
estimated state or local income tax, the
amount applied is treated as received
in 2009.

TIP in the year you paid the tax, you

did not itemize deductions. If
you were a student or business
apprentice from India in 2008 and you
claimed the standard deduction on your
2008 tax return, none of your refund is
taxable. See Students and business
apprentices from India in chapter 5 of
Pub. 519. If none of your refund is
taxable, leave line 4 blank.
For details on how to figure the
amount you must report as income, see
Recoveries in Pub. 525, Taxable and
Nontaxable Income.

than tuition and course-related
expenses (fees, books, supplies, and
equipment) are generally taxable. For
example, amounts used for room,
board, and travel are generally taxable.

If the grant was reported on
Form(s) 1042-S, you generally must
include the amount shown in box 2 of
Form(s) 1042-S, on line 5. However, if
any or all of that amount is exempt by
treaty, do not include the treaty-exempt
amount on line 5. Instead, include the
treaty-exempt amount on line 6 and
complete item J on page 2 of
Form 1040NR-EZ.

Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2009)

12:49 - 6-JAN-2010

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

Note. Box 2 shows only $9,000
because withholding agents (such as
ABC University) are not required to
report section 117 amounts (tuition,
fees, books, supplies, and equipment)
on Form 1042-S.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ:

• Enter on line 5 the $9,000 shown in
box 2 of Form 1042-S.

• Enter $0 on line 8. Because

section 117 amounts (tuition, fees,
books, supplies, and equipment) were
not included in box 2 of your
Form 1042-S (and are not included on
line 5 of Form 1040NR-EZ), you cannot
exclude any of the section 117 amounts
on line 8.
• Include on line 18 the $1,260 shown
in box 9 of Form 1042-S.
Example 2. The facts are the same
as in Example 1 except that you are a
citizen of a country that has an income
tax treaty in force with the United
States that includes a provision that
exempts scholarship income and you
were a resident of that country
immediately before leaving for the
United States to attend ABC University.
Also, assume that, under the terms of
the tax treaty, all of your scholarship
income is exempt from tax because
ABC University is a nonprofit
educational organization.
Note. Many tax treaties do not permit
an exemption from tax on scholarship
or fellowship grant income unless the
income is from sources outside the
United States. If you are a resident of a
treaty country, you must know the
terms of the tax treaty between the
United States and the treaty country to
claim treaty benefits on Form
1040NR-EZ. For details, see the
instructions for item J beginning on
page 10.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ:

• Enter $0 on line 5. The $9,000

reported to you in box 2 of Form
1042-S is reported on line 6 (not line 5).

• Enter $9,000 on line 6.
• Enter $0 on line 8. Because none of

the $9,000 reported to you in box 2 of
Form 1042-S is included in your
income, you cannot exclude it on line 8.
• Include on line 18 any withholding
shown in box 9 of Form 1042-S.
• Provide all the required information in
item J on page 2 of Form 1040NR-EZ.
Line 6. Report on line 6 the total of all
your income that is exempt from tax by
an income tax treaty, including both
effectively connected and noneffectively
connected income. Do not include this
exempt income on line 7. You must
complete item J on page 2 of Form
1040NR-EZ to report income that is
exempt from U.S. tax.
Line 8 — Scholarship and fellowship
grants excluded. If you received a
scholarship or fellowship grant and
were a degree candidate, enter
amounts used for tuition and
course-related expenses (fees, books,
supplies, and equipment), but only to
the extent the amounts are included on
line 5. See the examples in the
instructions for line 5 beginning on
page 5.
Line 9 — Student loan interest
deduction. You can take this
deduction only if all of the following
apply.
1. You paid interest in 2009 on a
qualified student loan (see below).
2. Your filing status is single.
3. Your modified AGI is less than
$75,000. Use lines 2 through 4 of the
worksheet on page 5 to figure your
modified AGI.
Use the worksheet on page 5 to
figure your student loan interest
deduction.
Qualified student loan. This is any
loan you took out to pay the qualified
higher education expenses for any of
the following individuals.
1. Yourself or your spouse.

2. Any person who was your
dependent when the loan was taken
out.
3. Any person you could have
claimed as a dependent for the year the
loan was taken out except that:
a. The person filed a joint return.
b. The person had gross income
that was equal to or more than the
exemption amount for that year ($3,650
for 2009), or
c. You could be claimed as a
dependent on someone else’s return.
The person for whom the expenses
were paid must have been an eligible
student (defined on page 7). However,
a loan is not a qualified student loan if
(a) any of the proceeds were used for
other purposes, or (b) the loan was
from either a related person or a person
who borrowed the proceeds under a
qualified employer plan or a contract
purchased under such a plan. To find
out who is a related person, see Pub.
970.
Qualified higher education
expenses. Qualified higher education
expenses generally include tuition,
fees, room and board, and related
expenses such as books and supplies.
The expenses must be for education in
a degree, certificate, or similar program
at an eligible educational institution. An
eligible educational institution includes
most colleges, universities, and certain
vocational schools. You must reduce
the expenses by the following benefits.
• Employer-provided educational
assistance benefits that are not
included in box 1 of Form(s) W-2.
• Excludable U.S. series EE and I
savings bond interest from Form 8815.
• Any nontaxable distribution of
qualified tuition program earnings.
• Any nontaxable distribution of
Coverdell education savings account
earnings.
• Any scholarship, educational
assistance allowance, or other payment

is different from the routing number on
your checks.
If the direct deposit to your
account(s) is different from the amount
you expected, you will receive an

Name change. If you changed your
name because of marriage, divorce,
etc., and you made estimated tax
payments using your former name,
attach a statement to the front of
Form 1040NR-EZ. On the statement,
list all of the payments you made in
2009 and show the name(s) and
identifying number(s) under which you
made them.
Line 20 — Credit for amount paid with
Form 1040-C. Enter any amount you
paid with Form 1040-C for 2009.
Line 21 — Total payments. Add
lines 18 through 20. Enter the total on
line 21.
Amount paid with request for
extension of time to file. If you filed
Form 4868 to get an automatic
extension of time to file
Form 1040NR-EZ, include in the total
on line 21 any amount you paid with
that form or by electronic funds
withdrawal or credit or debit card. If you
paid by credit or debit card, do not
include on line 21 the convenience fee
you were charged. On the dotted line
next to line 21, enter “Form 4868” and
show the amount paid.

Refund
Line 22 — Amount overpaid. If line
22 is under $1, we will send a refund
only on written request.
If the amount you overpaid is

TIP large, you may want to

decrease the amount of income
tax withheld from your pay by filing a
new Form W-4. See Income Tax
Withholding and Estimated Tax
Payments for 2010 on page 12.
Refund offset. If you owe past-due
federal tax, state income tax, child
support, spousal support, or certain
federal nontax debts, such as student
loans, all or part of the overpayment on
line 22 may be used (offset) to pay the
past-due amount. Offsets for federal
taxes are made by the IRS. All other
offsets are made by the Treasury
Department’s Financial Management
Service (FMS). For federal tax offsets,
you will receive a notice from the IRS.
For all other offsets, you will receive a

notice from FMS. To find out if you may
have an offset or if you have any
questions about it, contact the agency
to which you owe the debt.
Lines 23a through 23d — Direct
deposit of refund.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
Simple. Safe. Secure.
Fast Refunds! Choose direct deposit — a
fast, simple, safe, secure way to have your
refund deposited automatically to your
checking or savings account, including an
individual retirement arrangement (IRA).

Why Use Direct Deposit?

• You get your refund faster by direct

deposit than you do by check.
• Payment is more secure. There is no
check that can get lost or stolen.
• It is more convenient. You do not
have to make a trip to the bank to
deposit your check.
• It saves tax dollars. It costs the
government less to refund by direct
deposit.
If you want us to directly deposit the
amount shown on line 23a to your
checking or savings account, including
an IRA, at a U.S. bank or other financial
institution (such as a mutual fund,
brokerage firm, or credit union) in the
United States:
• Check the box on line 23a and attach
Form 8888 if you want to split the direct
deposit of your refund among two or
three accounts, or
• Complete lines 23b through 23d if
you want your refund deposited to only
one account.
Otherwise, we will send you a check.
Note. If you do not want your refund
directly deposited to your account, do
not check the box on line 23a. Draw a
line through the boxes on lines 23b and
23d.

tax payments for 2010. See Income
Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax
Payments for 2010 on page 12.
What if you cannot pay? If you
cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 25 when you file, you can ask for:
• An installment agreement, or
• An extension of time to pay.
Installment agreement. Under an
installment agreement, you can pay all
or part of the tax you owe in monthly
installments. Generally, you can have
up to 60 months to pay. However, even
if your request to pay in installments is
granted, you will be charged interest
and may be charged a late payment
penalty on the tax not paid by the due
date. You also must pay a fee. To limit
the interest and penalty charges, pay
as much of the tax as possible when
you file. But before requesting an
installment agreement, you should
consider other less costly alternatives,
such as a bank loan or credit card
payment.
To ask for an installment agreement,
you can apply online or use Form 9465,
Installment Agreement Request. To
apply online, go to www.irs.gov, click on
“I Need To...,” and select “Set Up a
Payment Plan.” If you use Form 9465,
you should receive a response to your
request to make installment payments
within 30 days. But if you file your
return after March 31, it may take us
longer to reply.
Extension of time to pay. If paying
the tax when it is due would cause you
an undue hardship, you can ask for an
extension of time to pay by filing Form
1127, Application for Extension of Time
for Payment of Tax, on or before the
due date (without regard to extensions)
for filing your return. An extension
generally will not be granted for more
than 6 months. You will be charged
interest on the tax not paid by the due
date (without regard to extensions) for
filing your return. You must pay the tax

To save interest and penalties,

TIP pay your taxes in full by the due
date. You do not have to pay if
line 25 is under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty
from line 26 in the amount you enter on
line 25.
You can pay by check, money order,
credit or debit card, or the electronic
federal tax payment system (EFTPS).
Do not include any estimated tax
payment for 2010 in this payment.
Instead, make the estimated tax
payment separately.
To pay by check or money order.
Make your check or money order
payable to the “United States Treasury”
for the full amount due. Do not send
cash. Do not attach the payment to
your return. Write “2009 Form
1040NR-EZ” and your name, address,
daytime phone number, and SSN or
ITIN on your payment.
To help us process your payment,
enter the amount on the right side of
the check like this: $ XXX.XX. Do not
use dashes or lines (for example,
do
xx
not enter “$ XXX – ” or “$ XXX100”).
To pay by credit or debit card. To
pay by credit or debit card, call toll-free
or visit the website of one of the service
providers listed on this page and follow
the instructions.

before the extension runs out. If you do
not, penalties may be imposed.
Line 26 — Estimated tax penalty.
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 25 is at least $1,000 and it is
more than 10% of the tax shown on
your return, or
• You did not pay enough estimated
tax by any of the due dates. This is true
even if you are due a refund.
The “tax shown on your return” is the
amount on your 2009 Form
1040NR-EZ, line 15.
Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2008 tax return was for a
tax year of 12 full months and any of
the following applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your
2008 return and you were a U.S. citizen
or resident for all of 2008.
2. Line 21 on your 2009 return is at
least 100% of the tax shown on your
2008 return. (But see Caution below.)
Your estimated tax payments for 2009
must have been made on time and for
the required amount.
3. Line 21 on your 2009 return is at
least 90% of the tax shown on your
2008 return, your AGI shown on your
2008 return was less than $500,000
(less than $250,000 if you checked
filing status box 2 for 2009), and you
certify on Form 2210 (or Form 2210-F
for farmers and fishermen) that more
than 50% of the gross income on your
2008 return was from a small business.
A small business is one that had an
average of fewer than 500 employees
for 2008. See Form 2210 (or Form
2210-F) and its instructions for details.
Your estimated tax payments for 2009
must have been made on time and for
the required amount.
If your 2008 AGI was over
$150,000 (over $75,000 if you
CAUTION checked filing status box 2 for
2009), item (2) applies only if line 21 on
your 2009 tax return is at least 110% of
the tax shown on your 2008 return. This
rule does not apply to farmers and
fishermen or if item (3) applies.
For most people, the “tax shown on
your 2008 return” is the amount on your
2008 Form 1040NR-EZ, line 15.
The IRS will waive the penalty
TIP to the extent any underpayment
is due to adjustments made to
the income tax withholding tables that
took effect in spring 2009. You must
request a waiver by filing Form 2210 or
2210-F with your return.
Figuring the penalty. If the
Exception above does not apply and
you choose to figure the penalty
yourself, see Form 2210 (or 2210-F for
farmers or fishermen) to find out if you
owe the penalty. If you do, you can use
the form to figure the amount.
Enter the penalty on line 26. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the
total on line 25. If you are due a refund,
subtract the penalty from the
overpayment you show on line 22. Do
not file Form 2210 with your return
unless Form 2210 indicates that you

must do so. Instead, keep it for your
records.
Because Form 2210 is

TIP complicated, you can leave line
26 blank and the IRS will figure
the penalty and send you a bill. We will
not charge you interest on the penalty if
you pay by the date specified on the
bill. If your income varied during the
year, the annualized income installment
method may reduce the amount of your
penalty. But you must file Form 2210
because the IRS cannot figure your
penalty under this method. See the
Instructions for Form 2210 for other
situations in which you may be able to
lower your penalty by filing Form 2210.

Third Party Designee
If you want to allow your preparer, a
friend, family member, or any other
person you choose to discuss your
2009 tax return with the IRS, check the
“Yes” box in the “Third Party Designee”
area of your return. Also, enter the
designee’s name, U.S. phone number,
and any five digits the designee
chooses as his or her personal
identification number (PIN).
If you check the “Yes” box, you are
authorizing the IRS to call the designee
to answer any questions that may arise
during the processing of your return.
You also are authorizing the designee
to:
• Give the IRS any information that is
missing from your return,
• Call the IRS for information about the
processing of your return or the status
of your refund or payment(s),
• Receive copies of notices or
transcripts related to your return, upon
request, and
• Respond to certain IRS notices about
math errors, offsets, and return
preparation.
You are not authorizing the designee
to receive any refund check, bind you
to anything (including any additional tax
liability), or otherwise represent you
before the IRS. If you want to expand
the designee’s authorization, see
Pub. 947, Practice Before the IRS and
Power of Attorney.
The authorization will automatically
end no later than the due date (without
regard to extensions) for filing your
2010 tax return (see When To File on
page 2). If you wish to revoke the
authorization before it ends, see Pub.
947.

Signature
Form 1040 NR-EZ is not considered a
valid return unless you sign it. Be sure
to date your return and enter your
occupation(s) in the United States. If
you have someone prepare your return,
you are still responsible for the
correctness of the return. If your return
is signed by a representative for you,
you must have a power of attorney
attached that specifically authorizes the

representative to sign your return. To
do this, you can use Form 2848.
You can have an agent in the United
States prepare and sign your return if
you could not do so for one of the
following reasons:
• You were ill.
• You were not in the United States at
any time during the 60 days before the
return was due.
• For other reasons that you explained
in writing to the Department of the
Treasury; Internal Revenue Service
Center; Austin, TX 73301-0215 U.S.A.,
and that the IRS approved.
Child’s return. If your child cannot
sign the return, either parent can sign
the child’s name in the space provided.
Then, enter “By (your signature), parent
for minor child.”
Paid preparer must sign your return.
Generally, anyone you pay to prepare
your return must sign it in the space
provided. The preparer must give you a
copy of the return for your records.
Someone who prepares your return but
does not charge you should not sign
your return.

Line 2. Check “Yes” if you are subject
to tax in a foreign country on any of the
income reported on line 1, column (d).
Example. Sara is a citizen of Italy
and was a resident there until
September 2008, when she moved to
the United States to accept a position
as a high school teacher at an
accredited public high school. Sara
came to the United States on a J-1 visa
(Exchange visitor) and signed a
contract to teach for 2 years at this U.S.
school. She began teaching in
September 2008 and plans to continue
teaching through May 2010. Sara’s
salary per school year is $40,000. She
plans to return to Italy in June 2010 and
resume her Italian residence. For
calendar year 2009, Sara earned
$40,000 from her teaching position.
She completes the table in item J on
her 2009 tax return as shown in the
example on this page.
If you are claiming tax treaty
benefits and you failed to submit
CAUTION adequate documentation to a
withholding agent, you must attach to
your tax return all information that
otherwise would have been required on
the withholding document (for example,
all information required on Form
W-8BEN or Form 8233).
Treaty-based return position
disclosure. If you take the position
that a treaty of the United States
overrides or modifies any provision of
the Internal Revenue Code and that
position reduces (or potentially
reduces) your tax, you must report
certain information on Form 8833 and
attach it to Form 1040NR-EZ.
If you fail to report the required
information, you will be charged a
penalty of $1,000 for each failure
unless you show that such failure is
due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect. For more details, see Form
8833 and its instructions.
Exceptions. You do not have to file
Form 8833 for any of the following.
1. You claim a treaty reduces the
withholding tax on interest, dividends,
rents, royalties, or other fixed or
determinable annual or periodical
income ordinarily subject to the 30%
rate.
2. You claim a treaty reduces or
modifies the taxation of income from
dependent personal services, pensions,
annuities, social security and other
public pensions, or income of artists,
athletes, students, trainees, or

!

Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2009)

teachers. This includes taxable
scholarship and fellowship grants.
3. You claim an International Social
Security Agreement or a Diplomatic or
Consular Agreement reduces or
modifies the taxation of income.
4. You are a partner in a partnership
or a beneficiary of an estate or trust
and the partnership, estate, or trust
reports the required information on its
return.
5. The payments or items of income
that otherwise are required to be
disclosed total no more than $10,000.

Include all the required information on
your payment if you owe tax and are
paying by check or money order? See
the instructions for line 25 on page 9 for
details.
File only one original return for the same
year, even if you have not gotten your
refund or have not heard from the IRS
since you filed? Filing more than one
original return for the same year or
sending in more than one copy of the
same return (unless we ask you to do
so) could delay your refund.

Income Tax Withholding and
Estimated Tax Payments for
2010
If the amount you owe or the amount
you overpaid is large, you may be able
to file a new Form W-4 with your
employer to change the amount of
income tax withheld from your 2010
pay. For details on how to complete
Form W-4, see the Instructions for
Form 8233 and Notice 1392,
Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for
Nonresident Aliens.
If you do not pay your tax through

that way, you might have to pay
estimated tax. In general, you do not
have to make estimated tax payments if
you expect that your 2010 Form
1040NR-EZ will show a tax refund or a
tax balance due the IRS of less than
$1,000. If your total estimated tax for
2010 is $1,000 or more, see Form
1040-ES (NR). It has a worksheet you
can use to see if you have to make
estimated tax payments. However, if
you expect to be a resident of Puerto
Rico during all of 2010 and you must
pay estimated tax, use Form 1040-ES.
For more information, see Pub. 505,
Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax,
and Pub. 519.

Need a Copy of Your Tax
Return?
If you need a copy of your tax return,
use Form 4506. There is a $57 fee
(subject to change) for each return
requested. If your main home, principal
place of business, or tax records are
located in a federally declared disaster
area, this fee will be waived. If you want
a free transcript of your tax return or
account, use Form 4506-T or call us at
1-800-829-1040.

Amended Return
File Form 1040X to change a return
you already filed. Also, use Form
1040X if you filed Form 1040NR-EZ
and you should have filed Form 1040,
1040A, or 1040EZ, or vice versa.
Generally, Form 1040X must be filed
within 3 years after the date the original
return was filed or within 2 years after
the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. You may have more time to file
Form 1040X if you live in a federally
declared disaster area or you are
physically or mentally unable to
manage your financial affairs. See
Pub. 556, Examination of Returns,
Appeal Rights, and Claims for Refund,
for details.

Past Due Returns
The integrity of our tax system and
well-being of our country depend, to a
large degree, on the timely filing and
payment of taxes by each individual,

family, and business in this country.
Those choosing not to file and pay their
fair share increase the burden on the
rest of us to support our schools,
maintain and repair roadways, and the
many other ways our tax dollars help to
make life easier for all citizens.
Some people don’t know they should
file a tax return; some don’t file
because they expect a refund; and
some don’t file because they owe
taxes. Encourage your family,
neighbors, friends, and coworkers to do
their fair share by filing their federal tax
returns and paying any tax due on time.
If you or someone you know needs
to file past due tax returns, visit www.
irs.gov and click on “Individuals” for
help in filing those returns. Send the
return to the address that applies to you
in the latest Form 1040NR-EZ
instruction booklet. For example, if you
are filing a 2006 return in 2010, use the
address in this booklet. However, if you
got an IRS notice, mail the return to the
address in the notice.

Interest and Penalties

This penalty is in addition to interest
charges on late payments.
Penalty for frivolous return. In
addition to any other penalties, the law
imposes a penalty of $5,000 for filing a
frivolous return. A frivolous return is one
that does not contain information
needed to figure the correct tax or
shows a substantially incorrect tax
because you take a frivolous position or
desire to delay or interfere with the tax
laws. This includes altering or striking
out the preprinted language above the
space where you sign. For a list of
positions identified as frivolous, see
Notice 2008-14, 2008-4 I.R.B. 310,
available at www.irs.gov/irb/
2008-04_IRB/ar12.html.
Other penalties. Other penalties can
be imposed for negligence, substantial
understatement of tax, reportable
transaction understatements, filing an
erroneous refund claim, and fraud.
Criminal penalties may be imposed for
willful failure to file, tax evasion, or
making a false statement. See Pub.
519 for details on some of these
penalties.

You do not have to figure the amount of
any interest or penalties you may owe.
Because figuring these amounts can be
complicated, we will do it for you if you
want. We will send you a bill for any
amount due.
If you include interest or penalties
(other than the estimated tax penalty)
with your payment, identify and enter
the amount in the bottom margin of
Form 1040NR-EZ, page 1. Do not
include interest or penalties (other than
the estimated tax penalty) in the
amount you owe on line 25.
Interest. We will charge you interest
on taxes not paid by their due date,
even if an extension of time to file is
granted. We also will charge you
interest on penalties imposed for failure
to file, negligence, fraud, substantial
valuation misstatements, substantial
understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements. Interest is
charged on the penalty from the due
date of the return (including
extensions).
Penalty for late filing. If you do not
file your return by the due date
(including extensions), the penalty is
usually 5% of the amount due for each
month or part of a month your return is
late, unless you have a reasonable
explanation. If you do, attach it to your
return. The penalty can be as much as
25% of the tax due. The penalty is 15%
per month, up to a maximum of 75%, if
the failure to file is fraudulent. If your
return is more than 60 days late, the
minimum penalty will be $135 or the
amount of any tax you owe, whichever
is smaller.
Penalty for late payment of tax. If
you pay your taxes late, the penalty is
usually 1/2 of 1% of the unpaid amount
for each month or part of a month the
tax is not paid. The penalty can be as
much as 25% of the unpaid amount. It
applies to any unpaid tax on the return.

Identity theft occurs when someone
uses your personal information such as
your name, social security number
(SSN), individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN), or other identifying
information, without your permission, to
commit fraud or other crimes. An
identity thief may use your SSN to get a
job or may file a tax return using your
SSN to receive a refund.
To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN or ITIN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting
your SSN or ITIN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax
preparer.
If your tax records are affected by
identity theft and you receive a notice
from the IRS, respond right away to the
name and phone number printed on the
IRS notice or letter.
If your tax records are not currently
affected by identity theft but you think
you are at risk due to a lost or stolen
purse or wallet, questionable credit card
activity or credit report, etc., contact the

How Long Should Records
Be Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return,
worksheets you used, and records of all
items appearing on it (such as Forms
W-2, 1042-S, and 1099) until the
statute of limitations runs out for that
return. Usually, this is 3 years from the
date the return was due or filed or 2
years from the date the tax was paid,
whichever is later. You should keep
some records longer. For example,
keep property records (including those
on your home) as long as they are
needed to figure the basis of the
original or replacement property. For
more details, see Pub. 552.

For more information, see Pub.
4535, Identity Theft Prevention and
Victim Assistance.
Victims of identity theft who are
experiencing economic harm or a
systemic problem, or are seeking help
in resolving tax problems that have not
been resolved through normal
channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer
Advocate Service (TAS) assistance.
You can reach TAS by calling the
National Taxpayer Advocate helpline at
1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD

Protect yourself from suspicious
emails or phishing schemes.
Phishing is the creation and use of
email and websites designed to mimic
legitimate business emails and
websites. The most common form is the
act of sending an email to a user falsely
claiming to be an established legitimate
enterprise in an attempt to scam the
user into surrendering private
information that will be used for identity
theft.
The IRS does not initiate contacts
with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS
does not request detailed personal
information through email or ask
taxpayers for the PIN numbers,
passwords, or similar secret access
information for their credit card, bank,
or other financial accounts.
If you receive an unsolicited email
claiming to be from the IRS, forward the
message to [email protected]. You also
can report misuse of the IRS name,
logo, forms, or other IRS property to the
Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration toll-free at
1-800-366-4484. You can forward
suspicious emails to the Federal Trade
Commission at [email protected] or

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2009, the taxpayer’s personal
representative may have to file and
sign a return for that taxpayer. A
personal representative can be an
executor, administrator, or anyone who
is in charge of the deceased taxpayer’s
property. If the deceased taxpayer did
not have to file a return but had tax
withheld, a return must be filed to get a
refund. The person who files the return
must enter “Deceased,” the deceased
taxpayer’s name, and the date of death
across the top of the return. If this
information is not provided, it may delay
the processing of the return.
The personal representative should
promptly notify all payers of income,
including financial institutions, of the
taxpayer’s death. This will ensure the
proper reporting of income earned by
the taxpayer’s estate or heirs. A
deceased taxpayer’s SSN or ITIN
should not be used for tax years after
the year of death, except for estate tax
return purposes.
Claiming a refund for a deceased
taxpayer. If you are a court-appointed
representative, file Form 1040NR-EZ
for the decedent and attach a copy of
the certificate that shows your
appointment. All other filers requesting
the deceased taxpayer’s refund,
including the deceased taxpayer’s
spouse, must file the return and attach
Form 1310.
For more details, see Pub. 559.

can enclose the check with your income
tax return when you file. Do not add
your gift to any tax you may owe. See

Disclosure, Privacy Act, and
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
We ask for the information on this form
to carry out U.S. Internal Revenue laws.
Sections 6001, 6011, 6012(a) and their
regulations require that you give us the
information. We need it to ensure that
you are complying with these laws and
to allow us to figure and collect the right
amount of tax. Section 6109 requires
filers and paid preparers to provide their
identifying numbers. If you do not file a
return, do not provide requested
information, or provide fraudulent
information, you may be subject to
penalties and criminal prosecution. We
may also have to disallow the
exemptions, exclusions, credits,
deductions, or adjustments. This could
make the tax higher or delay any
refund. Interest may also be charged.
This notice applies to all papers you
file with us and to any questions we
need to ask to complete, correct, or
process your return, or to figure and
collect your tax, interest, or penalties.
You are not required to provide the
information requested on a form that is
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
unless the form displays a valid OMB
control number. Books or records
relating to a form or its instructions
must be retained as long as their
contents may become material in the
administration of any Internal Revenue
law.
Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as required
by section 6103. However, section
6103 sometimes allows or requires the
IRS to disclose the information to
others. For example, we may disclose
your tax information to the Department
of Justice to enforce the tax laws, and
to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths or
possessions to carry out their tax laws.
We may disclose this information to the
Department of Treasury and
contractors for tax administration
purposes; and to other persons as
necessary to obtain information that we
cannot get in any other way to
determine the amount of or to collect
the tax you owe. We may disclose this
information to the Comptroller General
of the United States to permit review of
the IRS. We may disclose this
information to Committees of Congress;
federal, state, and local child support
agencies; and to other federal agencies

for benefits or the eligibility for and the
repayment of loans. We may also

Estimates of taxpayer burden. The
table below shows burden estimates as
of October 2009 for taxpayers filing a
Form 1040NR-EZ. Time spent and
out-of-pocket costs are presented
separately. Out-of-pocket costs include
any expenses incurred by taxpayers to
prepare and submit their tax returns.
Examples include tax return preparation
and submission fees, postage and
photocopying costs, and tax
preparation software costs.
Reported time and cost burdens are
national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a “typical” case. For
instance, the estimated average time
burden for all taxpayers filing a Form
1040NR or 1040NR-EZ is 12 hours,
with an average cost of $194 per
return. This average includes all
associated forms and schedules,
across all preparation methods and
taxpayer activities. Taxpayers filing
Form 1040NR-EZ are expected to have
an average burden of about 7.2 hours,
with an average cost of $42 per return.
Within each of these estimates, there is
significant variation in taxpayer activity.
Similarly, tax preparation fees vary
extensively depending on the tax
situation of the taxpayer, the type of
professional preparer, and the
geographic area.
If you have comments concerning
the time and cost estimates below, you
can contact us at either one of the
addresses shown under We welcome
comments on forms above.

Estimated Average Taxpayer Burden
The average time and costs required to complete and file Form 1040NR-EZ, its schedules, and accompanying forms will vary
depending on individual circumstances. The estimated averages are:
Average Time Burden (Hours)

Average Cost* (Dollars)

7.2

$42

* This average is a weighted average for all taxpayers. Because few taxpayers use paid preparers or software for this return, the dollar estimate may be quite
different from actual expenses.

IRS Customer Service Standards
At the IRS, our goal is to continually improve the quality of
our services. To achieve that goal, we have developed customer
service standards in the following areas.
● Access to information.

● Canceling penalties.
● Resolving problems.
● Simpler forms.
● Easier filing and payment options.

● Accuracy.

If you would like information about the IRS standards
and a report of our accomplishments, see Pub. 2183.

● Prompt refunds.

Help With Unresolved Tax Issues
Taxpayer Advocate Service
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent
organization within the IRS whose employees assist
taxpayers who are experiencing economic harm, who are
seeking help in resolving problems with the IRS, or who
believe that an IRS system or procedure is not working as
it should. Here are seven things every taxpayer should know
about TAS:

6. TAS has at least one local taxpayer advocate in every
state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. You can
call your local advocate, whose number is in your phone
book, in Publication 1546, Taxpayer Advocate
Service—Your Voice at the IRS, and on our website at
www.irs.gov/advocate. You can also call our toll-free line at
1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

1. TAS is your voice at the IRS.

7. You can learn about your rights and responsibilities as a
taxpayer by visiting our online tax toolkit at
www.taxtoolkit.irs.gov.

2. Our service is free, confidential, and tailored to meet
your needs.
3. You may be eligible for TAS help if you have tried to
resolve your tax problem through normal IRS channels and
have gotten nowhere, or you believe an IRS procedure just
is not working as it should.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)

4. TAS helps taxpayers whose problems are causing
financial difficulty or significant cost, including the cost of
professional representation. This includes businesses as well
as individuals.
5. TAS employees know the IRS and how to navigate it.
We will listen to your problem, help you understand what
needs to be done to resolve it, and stay with you every step
of the way until your problem is resolved.

The Low Income Taxpayer Clinic program serves
individuals who have a problem with the IRS and whose
income is below a certain level. LITCs are independent
from the IRS. Most LITCs can provide representation
before the IRS or in court on audits, tax collection disputes,
and other issues for free or for a small fee. If an
individual’s native language is not English, some clinics can
provide information in certain other languages about
taxpayer rights and responsibilities. For more information,
see Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List.
This publication is available at www.irs.gov, by calling
1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676), or at your local IRS
office.

Suggestions for Improving the IRS
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) is a diverse group of
citizen volunteers who listen to taxpayers, identify
taxpayers’ issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS
service and customer satisfaction. The panel is

demographically and geographically diverse, with at least
one member from each state, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. To learn more about the TAP, go to
www.improveirs.org or call 1-888-912-1227 toll-free.

Example. Mr. Brown is single. His taxable income on line 14 of Form
1040NR-EZ is $23,250. First, he finds the $23,250-23,300 income line.
Next, he finds the “Single” column and reads down the column. The
amount shown where the income line and filing status column meet is
$3,074. This is the tax amount he should enter on line 15 of Form
1040NR-EZ.
