U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return
Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

General Instructions
What’s New for 2010
Due date of return. If you generally
must file Form 1040NR by April 15, the
due date for your 2010 Form 1040NR is
April 18, 2011. The due date is April 18,
instead of April 15, because of the
Emancipation Day holiday in the District
of Columbia — even if you do not live in
the District of Columbia. See When To
File on page 5.
Limits on personal exemptions and
overall itemized deductions ended.
For 2010, you will no longer lose part of
your deduction for personal exemptions
and itemized deductions, regardless of
the amount of your adjusted gross
income (AGI).
Self-employment tax. You must pay
self-employment tax on your
self-employment income if an
international social security agreement
in effect between your country of tax
residence and the United States
provides that you are covered under
the U.S. social security system. Enter
the tax on line 54. Deduct one-half of
your self-employment tax on line 27.
Attach Schedule SE (Form 1040). See
the Instructions for Schedule SE (Form
1040) for additional information. These
instructions and lines in the form were
added to clarify how nonresident aliens
should report and pay their
self-employment tax.
Dividend equivalent payments. All
dividend equivalent payments received
after September 13, 2010, are U.S.
source dividends.
Self-employed health insurance
deduction. Effective March 30, 2010,
if you were self-employed and paid for
health insurance, you may be able to
include in your deduction on line 29 any
premiums you paid to cover your child
who was under age 27 at the end of
2010, even if the child was not your
dependent. For 2010, the line 29
deduction is also allowed on Schedule
SE (Form 1040). See the instructions
for line 29 on page 17.
Adoption credit. The maximum
adoption credit has increased to

$13,170. The credit is now refundable
and is claimed on line 66. See Form
8839.
Alternative minimum tax (AMT)
exemption amount increased. The
AMT exemption amount has increased
to $47,450 ($72,450 if a qualifying
widow(er); $36,225 if married filing
separately).
Repayment of first-time homebuyer
credit. If you claimed the first-time
homebuyer credit for a home you
bought in 2008, you generally must
begin repaying it on your 2010 return.
In addition, you generally must repay
any credit you claimed for 2008 or 2009
if you sold your home in 2010 or the
home stopped being your main home in
2010. See the instructions for line 58 on
page 27.
Roth IRAs and designated Roth
accounts. Half of any income that
results from a rollover or conversion to
a Roth IRA from another retirement
plan in 2010 is included in income in
2011, and the other half in 2012, unless
you elect to include all of it in 2010. The
same rule applies to a rollover after
September 27, 2010, to a designated
Roth account in the same plan. See
Form 8606.
You now can make a qualified
rollover contribution to a Roth IRA
regardless of the amount of your
modified AGI.
Standard mileage rates. The 2010
rate for business use of your vehicle is
reduced to 50 cents a mile. The 2010
rate for use of your vehicle to move is
reduced to 161/2 cents a mile. The 2010
rate for use of your vehicle to do
volunteer work for certain charitable
organizations is still 14 cents a mile.
Personal casualty and theft loss limit
reduced. Each personal casualty or
theft loss is limited to the excess of the
loss over $100 (instead of the $500
limit that applied for 2009). See Form
4684.
Corrosive drywall losses. If you paid
for repairs to your personal residence
or household appliances because of
corrosive drywall that was installed
between 2001 and 2008, you may be
able to deduct those amounts paid on
line 8 of Schedule A of Form 1040NR.
See Form 4684 and its instructions for
details.
Cat. No. 11368V

Divorced or separated parents. A
custodial parent who has revoked his or
her previous release of a claim to a
child’s exemption must include a copy
of the revocation with his or her return.

increases to 9%. However, the
deduction is reduced if you have
oil-related qualified production activities
income. See page 20.

special rules that may apply to
decedents who died in 2010, including
rules for property acquired from a

Pub. 4895.
Expired tax benefits. The following

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 2010. (These tests
are explained on this page and on page
3.) 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 2010. 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 IRS.gov. Enter “tax treaties” in the
search box at the top of the page.
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 2010 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 5.) 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 change as of the date you
surrender your green card if all of the
following are true.
1. You mail a letter stating your
intent to surrender your green card.
2. You send this letter by certified
mail, return receipt requested (or the
foreign equivalent).

-2-

3. You have proof that the letter
was received by the USCIS.
Keep a copy of the letter and the
proof that the letter was received.
Until you have proof your letter
was received, you remain a
CAUTION
resident for 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 2010. You meet this test if you were
physically present in the United States
for at least:
1. 31 days during 2010, and
2. 183 days during the period 2010,
2009, and 2008, using the following
chart.

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 on page 3).
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

You may need to file Form 8843
to exclude days of presence in
CAUTION
the United States for the
substantial presence test. For more
information on the requirements, see
Form 8843 in chapter 1 of Pub. 519.
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 2010,
• Establish that during 2010 you had a
tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2010 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. You must meet both
of the following requirements.
1. You establish that you do not
intend to reside permanently in the
United States. The facts and
circumstances of your situation are
considered to determine if you do not
intend to reside permanently in the
United States. The facts and
circumstances include the following.
a. Whether you have taken any
steps to change your U.S. immigration
status to lawful permanent resident.
b. During your stay in the United
States, whether you have maintained a
closer connection with a foreign country
than with the United States.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

2. You have substantially complied
with your visa requirements.
You must file a fully completed Form
8843 with the IRS to claim the closer
connection exception. 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.

!

Who Must File
File Form 1040NR if any of the
following four conditions applies to you.
1. You were a nonresident alien

States,
b. You have no U.S. source income,
or
c. Your income is exempt from U.S.
tax under a tax treaty or any section of

schedules for Form 1040NR. Instead,
attach a list of the kinds of exclusions
you claim and the amount of each.
2. You were a nonresident alien not
engaged in a trade or business in the
United States during 2010 and:
a. You received income from U.S.
sources that is reportable on Schedule
NEC, lines 1 through 12, and

person who would have had to file
Form 1040NR.
4. You represent an estate or trust

owe any special taxes, including any of
the following.
• Alternative minimum tax.
• Additional tax on a qualified plan,
including an individual retirement
arrangement (IRA), or other tax-favored
account. But if you are filing a return
only because you owe this tax, you can
file Form 5329 by itself.
• Household employment taxes. But if
you are filing a return only because you
owe this tax, you can file Schedule H
by itself.
• Social security and Medicare tax on
tips you did not report to your employer
or on wages you received from an
employer who did not withhold these
taxes.
• Recapture of first-time homebuyer
credit. See the instructions for line 58

• Write-in taxes or recapture taxes,

including uncollected social security
and Medicare or RRTA tax on tips you
reported to your employer or on
group-term life insurance and additional
taxes on health savings accounts. See
the instructions for line 59 on page 27.

Exceptions. You do not need to
file Form 1040NR if:
1. Your only U.S. trade or business
was the performance of personal
services; and
a. Your wages were less than
$3,650; and
b. You have no other need to file a
return to claim a refund of overwithheld
taxes, to satisfy additional withholding
at source, or to claim income exempt or
partly exempt by treaty; or
2. You were a nonresident alien
student, teacher, or trainee who was
temporarily present in the United States
under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa, and
you have no income that is subject to
tax under section 871 (that is, the

page 4, Schedule NEC, lines 1 through
12).
3. You were a partner in a U.S.
partnership that was not engaged in a
trade or business in the United States
during 2010 and your Schedule K-1
(Form 1065) includes only income from
U.S. sources that is reportable on
Schedule NEC, lines 1 through 12.
If the partnership withholds
taxes on this income in 2011
CAUTION
and the tax withheld and
reported on line 9 of Form 1042-S is
more or less than the tax due on the
income, you will need to file Form
1040NR for 2011 to pay the
underwithheld tax or claim a refund of
the overwithheld tax.

!

Even if you do not otherwise
have to file a return, you should
file one to get a refund of any
federal income tax withheld. You also
should file if you are engaged in a U.S.

2010 or was a full-time student under
TIP

age 24 at the end of 2010, had income
only from interest and dividends that
are effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business, and that income
totaled less than $9,500, you may be
able to elect to report your child’s
income on your return. To do so, use
Form 8814. If you make this election,
your child does not have to file a return.
For details, including the conditions for
children under age 24, see Form 8814.
A child born on January 1, 1987, is
considered to be age 24 at the end of
2010. Do not use Form 8814 for such a
child.
Filing a deceased person’s return.
The personal representative must file
the return for a deceased person who
was required to file a return for 2010. A
personal representative can be an
executor, administrator, or anyone who
is in charge of the deceased person’s
property.
Filing for an estate or trust. If you
are filing Form 1040NR for a
nonresident alien estate or trust,
change the form to reflect the
provisions of Subchapter J, Chapter 1,

for a foreign trust, you may have
CAUTION
to file Form 3520-A, Annual
Information Return of Foreign Trust
With a U.S. Owner, on or before March
15, 2011. For more information, see the

Simplified Procedure for
Claiming Certain Refunds
You can use this procedure only if you
meet all of the following conditions for
the tax year.
• You were a nonresident alien.
• You were not engaged in a trade or
business in the United States at any
time.
• You had no income that was
effectively connected with the conduct
of a U.S. trade or business.
• Your U.S. income tax liability was
fully satisfied through withholding of tax
at source.
• You are filing Form 1040NR solely to
claim a refund of U.S. tax withheld at
source.
Example. John is a nonresident
alien individual. The only U.S. source
income he received during the year was
dividend income from U.S. stocks. The
dividend income was reported to him on
Form(s) 1042-S. On one of the dividend
payments, the withholding agent
incorrectly withheld at a rate of 30%
(instead of 15%). John is eligible to use
the simplified procedure.
If you meet all of the conditions listed
earlier for the tax year, complete Form
1040NR as follows.

Page 1. Enter your name, identifying
number (defined on page 8), and all
address information requested at the
top of page 1. If your income is not
exempt from tax by treaty, leave the
rest of page 1 blank. If your income is
exempt from tax by treaty, enter the
exempt income on line 22 and leave
the rest of page 1 blank.
Page 4 — Schedule NEC, lines 1a
through 12. Enter the amounts of
gross income you received from
dividends, interest, royalties, pensions,
annuities, and other income. If any
income you received was subject to
backup withholding or withholding at
source, you must include all gross
income of that type that you received.
The amount of each type of income
should be shown in the column under
the appropriate U.S. tax rate, if any,
that applies to that type of income in
your particular circumstances.
If you are entitled to a reduced rate
of, or exemption from, withholding on
the income pursuant to a tax treaty, the
appropriate rate of U.S. tax is the same
as the treaty rate. Use column (d) if the
appropriate tax rate is other than 30%,
15%, or 10%, including 0%.
Example. Mary is a nonresident
alien individual. The only U.S. source
income she received during the year
was as follows.
• 4 dividend payments.
• 12 interest payments.
All payments were reported to Mary
on Form(s) 1042-S. On one of the
dividend payments, the withholding
agent incorrectly withheld at a rate of
30% (instead of 15%). There were no
other withholding discrepancies. Mary
must report all four dividend payments.
She is not required to report any of the
interest payments.
Note. Payments of gross proceeds
from the sale of securities or regulated
futures contracts are generally exempt
from U.S. tax. If you received such
payments and they were subjected to
backup withholding, specify the type of
payment on line 12 and show the
amount in column (d).
Lines 13 through 15. Complete
these lines as instructed on the form.
Page 5 — Schedule OI. You must
answer all questions. For item L,
identify the country, tax treaty article(s)
under which you are applying for a
refund of tax, and the amount of
exempt income in the current year. Also
attach Form 8833 if required.
Note. If you are claiming a reduced
rate of, or exemption from, tax based
on a tax treaty, you generally must be a
resident of the particular treaty country
within the meaning of the treaty and
you cannot have a permanent
establishment or fixed base in the

-4-

United States. See Pub. 901 for more
information on tax treaties.
Page 2 — lines 53 and 59. Enter on
line 53 the tax on income not effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business from page 4, Schedule NEC,
line 15. Enter your total income tax
liability on line 59.
Line 60a. Enter the total amount of
U.S. tax withheld from Form(s) 1099.
Line 60d. Enter the total amount of
U.S. tax withheld on income not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business from Form(s) 1042-S.
Line 68. Add lines 60a through 67. This
is the total tax you have paid.
Lines 69 and 70a. Enter the difference
between line 59 and line 68. This is
your total refund.
You can have the refund deposited
into more than one account. See Lines
70a through 70e — Amount refunded to
you beginning on page 28 for more
details.
Line 70e. You may be able to have
your refund check mailed to an address
that is not shown on page 1. See Line
70e on page 29.
Signature. You must sign and date
your tax return. See Sign Your Return
on page 39.
Documentation. You must attach
acceptable proof of the withholding for
which you are claiming a refund. If you
are claiming a refund of backup
withholding tax based on your status as
a nonresident alien, you must attach a
copy of the Form 1099 that shows the
income and the amount of backup
withholding. If you are claiming a refund
of U.S. tax withheld at source, you must
attach a copy of the Form 1042-S that
shows the income and the amount of
U.S. tax withheld. Attach the forms to
the left margin of page 1.

Additional Information
Portfolio interest. If you are claiming
a refund of U.S. tax withheld from
portfolio interest, include a description
of the relevant debt obligation, including
the name of the issuer, CUSIP number
(if any), interest rate, and the date the
debt was issued.
Withholding on distributions. If you
are claiming an exemption from
withholding on a distribution from a U.S.
corporation with respect to its stock
because the corporation had insufficient
earnings and profits to support dividend
treatment, you must attach a statement
that identifies the distributing
corporation and provides the basis for
the claim.
If you are claiming an exemption
from withholding on a distribution from
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

a mutual fund or real estate investment
trust (REIT) with respect to its stock
because the distribution was
designated as long-term capital gain or
a nondividend distribution, you must
attach a statement that identifies the
mutual fund or REIT and provides the
basis for the claim.
If you are claiming an exemption
from withholding on a distribution from
a U.S. corporation with respect to its
stock because, in your particular
circumstances, the transaction qualifies
as a redemption of stock under section
302, you must attach a statement that
describes the transaction and presents
the facts necessary to establish that the
payment was a complete redemption, a
disproportionate redemption, or not
essentially equivalent to a dividend.

When To File
Individuals. If you were an employee
and received wages subject to U.S.
income tax withholding, file Form
1040NR by the 15th day of the 4th
month after your tax year ends. A
return for the 2010 calendar year is due
by April 18, 2011. (The due date is April
18, instead of April 15, because of the
Emancipation Day holiday in the District
of Columbia — even if you do not live in
the District of Columbia.) If you file
after this date, you may have to pay
interest and penalties. See page 42.
If you did not receive wages as an
employee subject to U.S. income tax
withholding, file Form 1040NR by the
15th day of the 6th month after your tax
year ends. A return for the 2010
calendar year is due by June 15, 2011.
Estates and trusts. If you file for a
nonresident alien estate or trust that
has an office in the United States, file
the return by the 15th day of the 4th
month after the tax year ends. If you file
for a nonresident alien estate or trust
that does not have an office in the
United States, file the return by the 15th
day of the 6th month after the tax year
ends.
Note. If the due date for filing falls on
a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,
file by the next business day.
Extension of time to file. If you
cannot file your return by the due date,
you should file Form 4868 to get an
automatic 6-month extension of time to
file. You must file Form 4868 by the
regular due date of the return.
An automatic 6-month extension
of time to file does not extend
CAUTION
the time to pay your tax. If you
do not pay your tax by the original due
date of your return, you will owe
interest on the unpaid tax and may owe
penalties. See Form 4868.

Dual-Status Taxpayers

Note. If you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (discussed on this page),
the 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
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 as the statement; enter
“Dual-Status Statement” across the top.
Do not sign Form 1040NR. Mail your
return and statement to:
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.
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. Mail your
return and statement to:

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
(defined on page 8).
Former U.S. long-term residents are
required to file Form 8854, Initial and
Annual Expatriation Statement, with
their dual-status return for the last year
of U.S. residency. To determine if you
are a former U.S. long-term resident,
see Expatriation Tax in chapter 4 of
Pub. 519.

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
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 or Section D of the Tax
Computation Worksheet.
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 page 5)
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 page 5,
you must use the Married filing
separately column in the Tax Table or
Section C of the Tax Computation
Worksheet to figure your tax on income
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. If you were married, you

cannot use the Single Tax Table
column or Section A of the Tax
Computation Worksheet.
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
exemptions for your spouse and
dependents 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 page 5)
instead of a dual-status taxpayer.
See chapter 6 of Pub. 519 for
information on other credits.

How To Figure Tax for
Dual-Status 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
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. For the period of
residence, allowable deductions include
all deductions on Schedule A of Form
1040, including medical expenses, real
property taxes, and certain interest.
See the Instructions for Schedule A
(Form 1040).
Income that is not effectively
connected with a trade or business in
the United States for the period of
nonresidence is subject to the flat 30%
rate or lower treaty rate. No deductions
are allowed against this income.
If you were a resident alien on the
last day of the tax year and you are
filing Form 1040, include the tax on the
noneffectively connected income in the
total on Form 1040, line 60. To the left

-6-

of line 60 enter “Tax from Form
1040NR” and the amount.
If you are filing Form 1040NR, enter
the tax from the Tax Table, Tax
Computation Worksheet, Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet, Schedule D Tax
Worksheet, Schedule J (Form 1040), or
Form 8615 on Form 1040NR, line 42,
and the tax on the noneffectively
connected income on line 53.
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 various items of
income from U.S. sources other than
wages. This includes U.S. tax
withheld on dispositions of U.S. real
property interests.
When filing Form 1040, show the
total tax withheld on line 61. Enter
amounts from the attached statement
(Form 1040NR, line 60a through 60d)
in the column to the right of line 61
and identify and include them in the
amount on line 61.
When filing Form 1040NR, show the
total tax withheld on lines 60a
through 60d. Enter the amount from
the attached statement (Form 1040,
line 61) in the column to the right of
line 60a, and identify and include it in
the amount on line 60a.
2. Estimated tax paid with Form
1040-ES or Form 1040-ES (NR).
3. Tax paid with Form 1040-C at the
time of departure from the United
States. When filing Form 1040,
include the tax paid with Form
1040-C with the total payments on
line 72. Identify the payment in the
area to the left of the entry.

How To Report Income
on Form 1040NR
Community Income
If either you or your spouse (or both
you and your spouse) were nonresident
aliens at any time during the tax year
and you had community income during
the year, treat the community income
according to the applicable community
property laws except as follows.
• Earned income of a spouse, other
than trade or business income or
partnership distributive share income.
The spouse whose services produced
the income must report it on his or her
separate return.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

• Trade or business income, other than
partnership distributive share income.
Treat this income as received by the
spouse carrying on the trade or
business and report it on that spouse’s
return.
• Partnership distributive share income
(or loss). Treat this income (or loss) as
received by the spouse who is the
partner and report it on that spouse’s
return.
• Income derived from the separate
property of one spouse that is not
earned income, trade or business
income, or partnership distributive
share income. The spouse with the
separate property must report this
income on his or her separate return.
See Pub. 555, Community Property,
for more details.

Kinds of Income
You must divide your income for the tax
year into the following three categories.
1. Income effectively connected with
a U.S. trade or business. This income
is taxed at the same rates that apply to
U.S. citizens and residents. Report this
income on page 1 of Form 1040NR.
Pub. 519 describes this income in
greater detail.
2. U.S. income not effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business. This income is taxed at 30%
unless a treaty between your country
and the United States has set a lower
rate that applies to you. Report this
income on Schedule NEC on page 4 of
Form 1040NR. Pub. 519 describes this
income in greater detail.
Note. Use line 57 to report the 4% tax
on U.S. source gross transportation
income.
3. Income exempt from U.S. tax. If
the income is exempt from tax by
treaty, complete item L of Schedule OI
on page 5 of Form 1040NR and line 22
on page 1.

Dispositions of U.S. Real
Property Interests
Gain or loss on the disposition of a U.S.
real property interest (see Pub. 519 for
definition) is taxed as if the gain or loss
were effectively connected with the
conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
Report gains and losses on the
disposition of U.S. real property
interests on Schedule D (Form 1040)
and Form 1040NR, line 14. Also, net
gains may be subject to the alternative
minimum tax. See the instructions for
line 43 on page 22. See Pub. 519,
chapter 4, Real Property Gain or Loss,
for more information.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Income You Can Elect To
Treat as Effectively
Connected With a U.S. Trade
or Business

Special Rules for Former
U.S. Citizens and Former
U.S. Long-Term Residents
(Expatriates)

You can elect to treat some items of
income as effectively connected with a
U.S. trade or business. The election
applies to all income from real property
located in the United States and held
for the production of income and to all
income from any interest in such
property. This includes:
• Gains from the sale or exchange of
such property or an interest therein,
• Gains on the disposal of timber, coal,
or iron ore with a retained economic
interest,
• Rents from real estate, or
• Rents and royalties from mines, oil or
gas wells, or other natural resources.

The expatriation tax provisions apply to
certain U.S. citizens who have lost their
citizenship and long-term residents who
have ended their residency. You are a
former U.S. long-term resident if you
were a lawful permanent resident of the
United States (green-card holder) in at
least 8 of the last 15 tax years ending
with the year your residency ends.
Different expatriation tax rules apply
to individuals based on the date of
expatriation. The dates are:
• Before June 4, 2004;
• After June 3, 2004, and before June
17, 2008; and
• After June 16, 2008.
For more information on the
expatriation tax provisions, see
Expatriation Tax in chapter 4 of Pub.
519; the Instructions for Form 8854;
and Notice 2009-85 (for expatriation
after June 16, 2008), 2009-45 I.R.B.
598, available at www.irs.gov/irb/
2009-45_IRB/ar10.html.

The election does not apply to
dispositions of U.S. real property
interests, discussed earlier.
To make the election, attach a
statement to your return for the year of
the election. Include the following items
in your statement.
1. That you are making the election.
2. A complete list of all of your real
property, or any interest in real
property, located in the United States
(including location). Give the legal
identification of U.S. timber, coal, or
iron ore in which you have an interest.
3. The extent of your ownership in
the real property.
4. A description of any substantial
improvements to the property.

6. The dates you owned the
property.
7. Whether the election is under
section 871(d) or a tax treaty.
8. Details of any previous elections
and revocations of the real property
election.

Foreign Income Taxed by the
United States
You may be required to report some
income from foreign sources on your
U.S. return if it is effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business. For this
foreign income to be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business, you must have an office or
other fixed place of business in the
United States to which the income can
be attributed. For more information,
including a list of the types of foreign
source income that must be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business, see Pub. 519.

Country. Enter the full name of the
country in uppercase letters in English.
Address change. If you plan to move
after filing your return, use Form 8822,
Change of Address, to notify the IRS of
your new address.
Name change. If you changed your
name because of marriage, divorce,
etc., and your identifying number is a
social security number, be sure to
report the change to the Social Security
Administration (SSA) before filing your
return. This prevents delays in
processing your return and issuing
refunds. It also safeguards your future
social security benefits. See Social
security number (SSN) below for how to
contact the SSA.

Identifying Number
An incorrect or missing identifying
number can increase your tax, reduce
your refund, or delay your refund.
Social security number (SSN). If you
are an individual, in most cases you are
required to enter 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,
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
age, identity, immigration status, and
authority to work in the United States. If
you are an F-1 or M-1 student, you also
must show your Form I-20. If you 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.
Check that your SSN on your Forms
W-2 and 1099 agrees with your social
security card. If not, see page 40 for
more details.
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. If you are
required to include another person’s
SSN on your return and that person
does not have and cannot get an SSN,
enter that person’s ITIN.
For details on how to apply for an
ITIN, see Form W-7, Application for IRS
Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number, and its instructions. Get Form
W-7 online at IRS.gov. Click on
“Individuals,” then “Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN).”
It takes 6 to 10 weeks to get an
ITIN.

Note. An ITIN is for tax use only. It
does not entitle you to social security
benefits or change your employment or
immigration status under U.S. law.
If, after reading these
instructions and our free
publications, you are not sure
how to complete the applications or
have additional questions, see Calling
the IRS on page 42.
Employer identification number
(EIN). If you are filing Form 1040NR
for an estate or trust, enter the EIN of
the estate or trust. If the entity does not
have an EIN, you must apply for one by
filing Form SS-4, Application for
Employer Identification Number. For
details on how to get an EIN, see Form
SS-4 and its instructions. Form SS-4 is
available at IRS.gov. Click on “Forms
and Publications.”

Filing Status
The amount of your tax depends on
your filing status. Before you decide
which box to check, read the following
explanations.
Were you single or married?
Single. You can check the box on
line 1 or line 2 if any of the following
was true on December 31, 2010.
• You were never married.
• You were legally separated under a
decree of divorce or separate
maintenance. But if, at the end of 2010,
your divorce was not final, you are

the box on line 1 or line 2.
• You were widowed before January 1,
2010, and did not remarry before the
end of 2010. But if you have a

married for the whole year.
If your spouse died in 2010, consider
yourself married to that spouse for the
whole year, unless you remarried
before the end of 2010.
For federal tax purposes, a marriage
means only a legal union between a
man and a woman as husband and
wife.
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

U.S. citizens.
Married persons who live apart.
Some married persons who have a

your child, stepchild, or foster child for
more than half of 2010. Temporary
absences by you or the child for special

home. If the child was born or died in
2010, 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 in 2010.
5. You can claim a dependency
exemption for the child or the child’s

dependent under the rules for children
of divorced or separated parents. See
Form 8332, Release/Revocation of

refers to your actual status, not the
election that some nonresident aliens
can make to be taxed as U.S.
residents.
7. You could have filed a joint return
with your spouse the year he or she
died, even if you did not actually do so.

exemptions for your children and other
dependents on the same terms as U.S.
citizens. If you were a resident of South
Korea, you can claim an exemption for
any of your children who lived with you
in the United States at some time
during 2010.

Adopted child. An adopted child is
always treated as your own child. An
adopted child includes a child lawfully
placed with you for legal adoption.

If the divorce decree or separation
agreement went into effect after 1984
and before 2009, the noncustodial
parent may be able to include certain
pages from the decree or agreement
instead of Form 8332. See Form 8332
for details.

Exemptions
Exemptions for estates and trusts are
described in the instructions for line 40
on page 22.
Note. Residents of India who were
students or business apprentices may
be able to claim exemptions for their
spouse and dependents.
See Pub. 519 for more details.
Line 7b — Spouse. If you checked
filing status box 3 or 4, you can take an
exemption for your spouse only if your
spouse had no gross income for U.S.
tax purposes and cannot be claimed as
a dependent on another U.S.
taxpayer’s return. (You can do this
even if your spouse died in 2010.) If
you checked filing status box 4, do not
check line 7b if your spouse did not live
with you in the United States at any
time during 2010.
Line 7c — Dependents. Only U.S.
nationals and residents of Canada,
Mexico, and South Korea can claim
exemptions for their dependents. If you
were a U.S. national or a resident of
Canada or Mexico, you can claim
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

You can take an exemption for each
of your dependents. If you have more
than four dependents, include a
statement showing the required
information.
For additional information on the
definition of a qualifying child
CAUTION
and whether you can claim an
exemption for a dependent, see
Exemptions for Dependents in Pub.
501.
Children who did not live with you
due to divorce or separation. If you
checked filing status box 1 or 3 and are
claiming as a dependent a child who
did not live with you under the rules for
children of divorced or separated
parents, include with your return Form
8332 or a substantially similar
statement signed by the custodial
parent and whose only purpose is to
release a claim to an exemption for a
child. The form or statement must
release the custodial parent’s claim to
the child without any conditions. For
example, the release must not depend
on the noncustodial parent paying
support.

CAUTION

You must include the required
information even if you filed it
with your return in an earlier

year.
Release of exemption revoked. A
custodial parent who has revoked his or
her previous release of a claim to
exemption for a child must include a
copy of the revocation with his or her
return. For details, see Form 8332.
Other dependent children.
Include the total number of children
who did not live with you for reasons
other than divorce or separation on the
line labeled “Dependents on 7c not
entered above.”
Line 7c, column (2). You must
enter each dependent’s identifying
number (SSN, ITIN, or adoption
taxpayer identification number (ATIN)).
Otherwise, at the time we process your
return we may disallow the exemption
claimed for the dependent and reduce
or disallow any other tax benefits (such
as the child tax credit) based on the
dependent.

For details on how your
dependent can get an
identifying number, see
Identifying Number on page 8.
TIP

If your dependent child was born
and died in 2010 and you do not have
an identifying number for the child,
enter “Died” in column (2) and attach a
copy of the child’s birth certificate,
death certificate, or hospital records.
The document must show the child was
born alive.
Adoption taxpayer identification
numbers (ATINs). If you have a
dependent who was placed with you for
legal adoption and you do not know his
or her SSN, you must get an ATIN for
the dependent from the IRS. See Form
W-7A, Application for Taxpayer
Identification Number for Pending U.S.
Adoptions, for details. If the dependent
is not a U.S. citizen or resident alien,
apply for an ITIN instead, using Form
W-7. See page 8.
Line 7c, column (4). Check the
box in this column if your dependent is
a qualifying child for the child tax credit
(defined below). If you have at least
one qualifying child, you may be able to
take the child tax credit on line 48 and
the additional child tax credit on line 62.
Qualifying child for child tax
credit. A qualifying child for purposes
of the child tax credit is a child who
meets the following requirements.
• The child was under age 17 at the
end of 2010 and younger than you or
any age and permanently or totally
disabled.
• The child is your son, daughter,
stepchild, foster child, brother, sister,
stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half
sister, or a descendant of any of them
(for example, your grandchild, niece, or
nephew).
• The child is not filing a joint return for
2010 (or is filing a joint return for 2010
only as a claim for refund of withheld
income tax or estimated tax paid).
• The child is a U.S. citizen, a U.S.
national, or a U.S. resident alien.
• The child did not provide over half of
his or her own support for 2010.
• The child lived with you for more than
half of 2010. 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. A
child is considered to have lived with
you for all of 2010 if the child was born
or died in 2010 and your home was the
child’s home for the entire time he or
she was alive.
• You can and do claim an exemption
for the child.
In addition, if a parent can claim the
child as a qualifying child, but no parent
does so claim the child, you cannot
claim the child as a qualifying child

unless your AGI is higher than the
highest AGI of any parent of the child.
An adopted child is always treated
as your own child. An adopted child
includes a child lawfully placed with you
for legal adoption.

Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
You can round off cents to whole
dollars on your return and schedules. 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.

Income Effectively
Connected With U.S.
Trade or Business
Pub. 519 explains how income is
classified and what income you should
report here. The instructions for this
section assume you have decided that
the income involved is effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business in which you were engaged.
But your decision may not be easy.
Interest, for example, may be effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business, it may not be, or it may be
tax-exempt. The tax status of income
also depends on its source. Under
some circumstances, items of income
from foreign sources are treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. Other items are reportable
as effectively connected or not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business, depending on how you
elect to treat them.
Line 8 — Wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Enter the total of your effectively
connected wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Only U.S. source income is included on
line 8 as effectively connected wages.
For most people, the amount to enter
on this line should be shown in box 1 of
their Form(s) W-2.
Do not include on line 8
amounts exempted under a tax
CAUTION
treaty. Instead, include these
amounts on line 22 and complete item
L of Schedule OI on page 5 of Form
1040NR.
Services performed partly within
and partly without the United States.
If you performed services as an
employee both inside and outside the
United States, you must allocate your

!

compensation between U.S. and
non-U.S. sources.
Compensation (other than certain
fringe benefits) generally is sourced on
a time basis. To figure your U.S. source
income, divide the number of days you
performed labor or personal services
within the United States by the total
number of days you performed labor or
personal services within and without the
United States. Multiply the result by
your total compensation (other than
certain fringe benefits).
Fringe benefits. Certain fringe
benefits (such as housing and
educational expenses) are sourced on
a geographic basis. The source of the
fringe benefit compensation generally is
your principal place of work. The
amount of the fringe benefit
compensation must be reasonable and
you must keep records that are
adequate to support the fringe benefit
compensation.
You may be able to use an
alternative method to determine
the source of your
compensation and/or fringe benefits if
the alternative method more properly
determines the source of the
compensation.
For 2010, if your total compensation
(including fringe benefits) is $250,000
or more and you allocate your
compensation using an alternative
method, check the “Yes ” boxes in item
K of Schedule OI on page 5. Also
attach to Form 1040NR a statement
that contains the following information.
1. The specific compensation or the
specific fringe benefit for which an
alternative method is used.
2. For each such item, the
alternative method used to allocate the
source of the compensation.
3. For each such item, a
computation showing how the
alternative allocation was computed.
4. A comparison of the dollar
amount of the compensation sourced
within and without the United States
under both the alternative method and
the time or geographical method for
determining the source.
TIP

You must keep documentation showing
why the alternative method more
properly determines the source of the
compensation.
Also include on line 8.
• Wages received as a household
employee for which you did not receive
a Form W-2 because your employer
paid you less than $1,700 in 2010.
Also, enter “HSH” and the amount not
reported on a Form W-2 on the dotted
line next to line 8.
• Tip income you did not report to your
employer. Also include allocated tips
shown on your Form(s) W-2 unless you

-10-

can prove that you received less.
Allocated tips should be shown in box 8
of your Form(s) W-2. They are not
included as income in box 1. See Pub.
531, Reporting Tip Income, for more
details.
You may owe social security
and Medicare tax on unreported
CAUTION
or allocated tips. See the
instructions for line 55 on page 26.

• Dependent care benefits, which

should be shown in box 10 of your
Form(s) W-2. But first complete Form
2441 to see if you can exclude part or
all of the benefits.
• Employer-provided adoption benefits,
which should be shown in box 12 of
your Form(s) W-2 with code T. But see
the Instructions for Form 8839 to find
out if you can exclude part or all of the
benefits. You also may be able to
exclude amounts if you adopted a child
with special needs and the adoption
became final in 2010.
• Excess salary deferrals. The amount
deferred should be shown in box 12 of
your Form W-2, and the “Retirement
plan” box in box 13 should be checked.
If the total amount you deferred for
2010 under all plans was more than
$16,500 (excluding catch-up
contributions as explained below),
include the excess on line 8. This limit
is (a) $11,500 if you only have SIMPLE
plans, or (b) $19,500 for section 403(b)
plans if you qualify for the 15-year rule
in Pub. 571. Although designated Roth
contributions are subject to this limit, do
not include the excess attributable to
such contributions on line 8. They
already are included as income in box 1
of your Form W-2.
A higher limit may apply to
participants in section 457(b) deferred
compensation plans for the 3 years
before retirement age. Contact your
plan administrator for more information.
If you were age 50 or older at the
end of 2010, your employer may have
allowed an additional deferral (catch-up
contributions) of up to $5,500 ($2,500
for section 401(k)(11) and SIMPLE
plans). This additional deferral amount
is not subject to the overall limit on
elective deferrals.

!

CAUTION

You cannot deduct the amount
deferred. It is not included as
income in box 1 of your Form

W-2.
• Disability pensions shown on Form
1042-S or Form 1099-R if you have not
reached the minimum retirement age
set by your employer. Disability
pensions received after you reach
minimum retirement age and other
payments shown on Form 1042-S or
Form 1099-R (other than payments
from an IRA*) are reported on lines 17a

and 17b. Payments from an IRA are
reported on lines 16a and 16b.
• Corrective distributions from a
retirement plan shown on Form 1042-S
or Form 1099-R of excess salary
deferrals and excess contributions (plus
earnings). But do not include
distributions from an IRA* on line 8.
Instead, report distributions from an IRA
on lines 16a and 16b.
• Wages from Form 8919, line 6.
*This includes a Roth, SEP, or
SIMPLE IRA.
Missing or incorrect Form W-2.
Your employer is required to provide or
send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2011. If you do not receive
it by early February, ask your employer
for it. Even if you do not get a Form
W-2, you still must report your earnings
on line 8. If you lose your Form W-2 or
it is incorrect, ask your employer for a
new one.
Line 9a — Taxable interest. Report
on line 9a all of your taxable interest
income from assets effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business.
If you received interest not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business, report it on Schedule NEC,
page 4, unless it is tax exempt under a
treaty and the withholding agent did not
withhold tax on the payment. If the
interest is tax exempt under a treaty,
include the tax exempt amount on line
22 and complete item L of Schedule OI
on page 5.
If the interest is tax exempt under a
treaty but the withholding agent
withheld tax, report the interest on
Schedule NEC, line 2. Use column d
and show 0% for the appropriate rate of
tax.
See Pub. 901 for a quick reference
guide to the provisions of U.S. tax
treaties.
Interest from a U.S. bank, savings
and loan association, credit union, or
similar institution, and from certain
deposits with U.S. insurance
companies, is tax exempt to a
nonresident alien if it is not effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business.
Interest credited in 2010 on deposits
that you could not withdraw because of
the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
financial institution may not have to be
included in your 2010 income.
See Pub. 550 for more details.
Line 9b — Tax-exempt interest.
Certain types of interest income from
investments in state and municipal
bonds and similar instruments are not
taxed by the United States. If you
received such tax-exempt interest
income, report the amount on line 9b.
Include any exempt-interest dividends
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

from a mutual fund or other regulated
investment company. Do not include
interest earned on your IRA, health
savings account, Archer or Medicare
Advantage MSA, or Coverdell
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
companies) that is exempt from tax
under a tax treaty or under section
871(i) because the interest is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business.
Line 10a — Ordinary dividends. Each
payer should send you a Form
1099-DIV. Enter your total ordinary
dividends from assets effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business on line 10a. This amount
should be shown in box 1a of Form(s)
1099-DIV.
Capital gain distributions. If you
received any capital gain distributions,
see the instructions for line 14 on page
12.
Nondividend distributions. Some
distributions are a return of your cost
(or other basis). They will not be taxed
until you recover your cost (or other
basis). You must reduce your cost (or
other basis) by these distributions. After
you get back all of your cost (or other
basis), you must report these
distributions as capital gains on
Schedule D (Form 1040).

date. The ex-dividend date is the first
date following the declaration of a
dividend on which the purchaser of a
stock is not entitled to receive the next
dividend payment. When counting the
number of days you held the stock,
include the day you disposed of the
stock but not the day you acquired it.
See the examples on this page and
page 12. Also, when counting the
number of days you held the stock, you
cannot count certain days during which
your risk of loss was diminished. See
Pub. 550 for more details,
• Dividends attributable to periods
totaling more than 366 days that you
received on any share of preferred
stock held for less than 91 days during
the 181-day period that began 90 days
before the ex-dividend date. When
counting the number of days you held
the stock, you cannot count certain
days during which your risk of loss was
diminished. See Pub. 550 for more
details. Preferred dividends attributable
to periods totaling less than 367 days
are subject to the 61-day holding period
rule above.
• Dividends on any share of stock to
the extent that you are under an
obligation (including a short sale) to
make related payments with respect to
positions in substantially similar or
related property, and
• Payments in lieu of dividends, but
only if you know or have reason to
know that the payments are not
qualified dividends.

Dividends on insurance policies
are a partial return of the
premiums you paid. Do not
report them as dividends. Include them
in income on line 21 only if they exceed
the total of all net premiums you paid
for the contract.
Line 10b — Qualified dividends.
Enter your total qualified dividends on
line 10b. Qualified dividends also are
included in the ordinary dividend total
required to be shown on line 10a.
Qualified dividends are eligible for a
lower tax rate than other ordinary
income. Generally, these dividends are
shown in box 1b of your Form(s)
1099-DIV.
See Pub. 550 for the definition of
qualified dividends if you received
dividends not reported on Form
1099-DIV.
Exception. Some dividends may
be reported as qualified dividends in
box 1b of Form 1099-DIV but are not
qualified dividends. These dividends
include:
• Dividends you received as a
nominee. See chapter 1 in Pub. 550,
• Dividends you received on any share
of stock that you held for less than 61
days during the 121-day period that
began 60 days before the ex-dividend

Example 1. You bought 5,000
shares of XYZ Corp. common stock on
July 8, 2010. XYZ Corp. paid a cash
dividend of 10 cents per share. The
ex-dividend date was July 16, 2010.
Your Form 1099-DIV from XYZ Corp.
shows $500 in box 1a (ordinary
dividends) and in box 1b (qualified
dividends). However, you sold the
5,000 shares on August 11, 2010. You
held your shares of XYZ Corp. for only
34 days of the 121-day period (from
July 9, 2010, through August 11, 2010).
The 121-day period began on May 17,
2010 (60 days before the ex-dividend
date), and ended on September 14,
2010. You have no qualified dividends
from XYZ Corp. because you held the
XYZ stock for less than 61 days.

TIP

Example 2. Assume the same facts
as in Example 1 except that you bought
the stock on July 15, 2010 (the day
before the ex-dividend date), and you
sold the stock on September 16, 2010.
You held the stock for 63 days (from
July 16, 2010, through September 16,
2010). The $500 of qualified dividends
shown in box 1b of Form 1099-DIV are
all qualified dividends because you held
the stock for 61 days of the 121-day
period (from July 16, 2010, through
September 14, 2010).

Example 3. You bought 10,000
shares of ABC Mutual Fund common
stock on July 8, 2010. ABC Mutual
Fund paid a cash dividend of 10 cents
a share. The ex-dividend date was July
16, 2010. The ABC Mutual Fund
advises you that the portion of the
dividend eligible to be treated as
qualified dividends equals 2 cents per
share. Your Form 1099-DIV from ABC
Mutual Fund shows total ordinary
dividends of $1,000 and qualified
dividends of $200. However, you sold
the 10,000 shares on August 11, 2010.
You have no qualified dividends from
ABC Mutual Fund because you held
the ABC Mutual Fund stock for less
than 61 days.
Be sure you use the Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet or the Schedule D
Tax Worksheet, whichever applies, to
figure your tax. See the instructions for
line 42 on page 22 for details.

Line 11 — 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 2010, you may receive a Form
1099-G. If you chose to apply part or all
of the refund to your 2010 estimated
state or local income tax, the amount
applied is treated as received in 2010.
None of your refund is taxable if,
in the year you paid the tax, you
did not itemize deductions on
Schedule A. If you were a student or
business apprentice from India in 2009
and you claimed the standard
deduction on your 2009 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 11 blank.
TIP

For details on how to figure the
amount you must report as income, see
Recoveries in Pub. 525.
Line 12 — Scholarship and fellowship
grants. If you received a scholarship
or fellowship, part or all of it may be
taxable.
If you were a degree candidate, the
amounts you used for expenses other
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 you were not a degree candidate,
the full amount of the scholarship or
fellowship is generally taxable. Also,
amounts received in the form of a
scholarship or fellowship that are
payment for teaching, research, or
other services are generally taxable as
wages even if the services were
required to get the grant.

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 12. However, if any or
all of that amount is exempt by treaty,
do not include the treaty-exempt
amount on line 12. Instead, include the
treaty-exempt amount on line 22 and
complete item L of Schedule OI on
page 5 of Form 1040NR.
Attach any Form(s) 1042-S you
received from the college or institution.
If you did not receive a Form 1042-S,
attach a statement from the college or
institution (on their letterhead) showing
the details of the grant.
For more information about
scholarships and fellowships in general,
see Pub. 970.
Example 1. You are a citizen of a
country that does not have an income
tax treaty in force with the United
States. You are a candidate for a
degree at ABC University (located in
the United States). You are receiving a
full scholarship from ABC University.
The total amounts you received from
ABC University during 2010 are as
follows:
Tuition and fees $25,000
Books, supplies,
and equipment
1,000
Room and
board
9,000
$35,000
The Form 1042-S you received from
ABC University for 2010 shows $9,000
in box 2 and $1,260 (14% of $9,000) in
box 9.
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:

• Enter on line 12 the $9,000 shown in

box 2 of Form 1042-S.
• Enter $0 on line 31. 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 12
of Form 1040NR), you cannot exclude
any of the section 117 amounts on line
31.
• Include on line 60d 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

-12-

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.
See the instructions for item L,
Schedule OI, beginning on page 37 for
details.
When completing Form 1040NR:

• Enter $0 on line 12. The $9,000

reported to you in box 2 of Form
1042-S is reported on line 22 (not line
12).
• Enter $9,000 on line 22.
• Enter $0 on line 31. 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 31.
• Include on line 60d any withholding
shown in box 9 of Form 1042-S.
• Provide all the required information in
item L, Schedule OI, on page 5 of Form
1040NR.
Line 13 — Business income or (loss).
If you operated a business or practiced
your profession as a sole proprietor,
report your effectively connected
income and expenses on Schedule C
or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040).
Include any income you received as
a dealer in stocks, securities, and
commodities through your U.S. office. If
you dealt in these items through an
independent agent, such as a U.S.
broker, custodian, or commissioned
agent, your income may not be
considered effectively connected with a
U.S. business.
Note. For more information on tax
provisions that apply to a small
business, see Pub. 334, Tax Guide for
Small Business (For Individuals Who
Use Schedule C or C-EZ).
Line 14 — Capital gain or (loss). If
you had effectively connected capital
gains or losses, including any
effectively connected capital gain
distributions or a capital loss carryover
from 2009, you must complete and
attach Schedule D (Form 1040). But
see the Exception on page 13. Enter
the effectively connected gain or (loss)
from Schedule D (Form 1040) on line
14.
Gains and losses from disposing of
U.S. real property interests are reported
on Schedule D (Form 1040) and
included on line 14 of Form 1040NR.
See Dispositions of U.S. Real Property
Interests on page 7.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Exception. You do not have to file
Schedule D (Form 1040) if both of the
following apply.
• The only amounts you have to report
on Schedule D (Form 1040) are
effectively connected capital gain
distributions from box 2a of Form(s)
1099-DIV or substitute statements.
• None of the Form(s) 1099-DIV or
substitute statements have an amount
in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250
gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or
box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain).
If both of the above apply, enter your
total effectively connected capital gain
distributions (from box 2a of Form(s)
1099-DIV) on line 14 and check the box
on that line. If you received capital gain
distributions as a nominee (that is, they
were paid to you but actually belong to
someone else), report on line 14 only
the amount that belongs to you. Include
a statement showing the full amount
you received and the amount you
received as a nominee.
See chapter 1 of Pub. 550 for filing
requirements for Forms 1099-DIV and
1096.
If you do not have to file
Schedule D (Form 1040), use
the Qualified Dividends and
Capital Gain Tax Worksheet on page
21 to figure your tax.
Line 15 — Other gains or (losses). If
you sold or exchanged assets used in a
U.S. trade or business, see the
Instructions for Form 4797.
Lines 16a and 16b — IRA
distributions. You should receive a
Form 1099-R showing the total amount
of any distribution from your individual
retirement arrangement (IRA) before
income tax or other deductions were
withheld. This amount should be shown
in box 1 of Form 1099-R. Unless
otherwise noted in the line 16a and 16b
instructions, an IRA includes a
traditional IRA, Roth IRA, simplified
employee pension (SEP) IRA, and a
savings incentive match plan for
employees (SIMPLE) IRA. Except as
provided in the following exceptions,
leave line 16a blank and enter the total
distribution (from Form 1099-R, box 1)
on line 16b.
Exception 1. Enter the total
distribution on line 16a if you rolled over
part or all of the distribution from one:
• IRA to another IRA of the same type
(for example, from one traditional IRA
to another traditional IRA),
• SEP or SIMPLE IRA to a traditional
IRA, or
• IRA to a qualified plan other than an
IRA.
Also, enter “Rollover” next to line
16b. If the total distribution was rolled
over in a qualified rollover, enter -0- on
line 16b. If the total distribution was not
rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter
TIP

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

the part not rolled over on line 16b
unless Exception 2 applies to the part
not rolled over. Generally, a qualified
rollover must be made within 60 days
after the day you received the
distribution. For more details on
rollovers, see Pub. 590, Individual
Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).
If you rolled over the distribution into
a qualified plan other than an IRA or
you made the rollover in 2011, include
a statement explaining what you did.
Exception 2. If any of the following
apply, enter the total distribution on line
16a and see Form 8606 and its
instructions to figure the amount to
enter on line 16b.
1. You received a distribution from
an IRA (other than a Roth IRA) and you
made nondeductible contributions to
any of your traditional or SEP IRAs for
2010 or an earlier year. If you made
nondeductible contributions to these
IRAs for 2010, also see Pub. 590.
2. You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA. But if either (a) or (b) below
applies, enter -0- on line 16b; you do
not have to see Form 8606 or its
instructions.
a. Distribution code T is shown in
box 7 of Form 1099-R and you made a
contribution (including a conversion) to
a Roth IRA for 2005 or an earlier year.
b. Distribution code Q is shown in
box 7 of Form 1099-R.
3. You converted part or all of a
traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a
Roth IRA in 2010.
4. You had a 2009 or 2010 IRA
contribution returned to you, with the
related earnings or less any loss, by the
due date (including extensions) of your
tax return for that year.
5. You made excess contributions
to your IRA for an earlier year and had
them returned to you in 2010.
6. You recharacterized part or all of
a contribution to a Roth IRA as a
traditional IRA contribution, or vice
versa.
Exception 3. If the distribution is a
qualified charitable distribution (QCD),
enter the total distribution on line 16a. If
the total amount distributed is a QCD,
enter -0- on line 16b. If only part of the
distribution is a QCD, enter the part that
is not a QCD on line 16b unless
Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter
“QCD” next to line 16b.
A QCD is a distribution made directly
by the trustee of your IRA (other than
an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an
organization eligible to receive
tax-deductible contributions (with
certain exceptions). You must have
been at least age 701/2 when the
distribution was made. Your total QCDs
for the year cannot be more than
$100,000. The amount of the QCD is
limited to the amount that would

-13-

otherwise be included in your income. If
your IRA includes nondeductible
contributions, the distribution is first
considered to be paid out of otherwise
taxable income. See Pub. 590 for
details.
You cannot claim a charitable
contribution deduction for any
CAUTION
QCD not included in your
income.

!

If a QCD is made in January
2011, you can elect to treat it as
made in 2010. See Pub. 590.
Exception 4. If the distribution is a
qualified health savings account (HSA)
funding distribution (HFD), enter the
total distribution on line 16a. If the total
amount distributed is an HFD and you
elect to exclude it from income, enter
-0- on line 16b. If only part of the
distribution is an HFD and you elect to
exclude that part from income, enter
the part that is not an HFD on line 16b
unless Exception 2 applies to that part.
Enter “HFD” next to line 16b.
An HFD is a distribution made
directly by the trustee of your IRA
(other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE
IRA) to your HSA. If eligible, you
generally can elect to exclude an HFD
from your income once in your lifetime.
You cannot exclude more than the limit
on HSA contributions or more than the
amount that otherwise would be
included in your income. If your IRA
includes nondeductible contributions,
the HFD is first considered to be paid
out of otherwise taxable income.
See Pub. 969 for more details.
TIP

The amount of an HFD reduces
the amount you can contribute
CAUTION
to your HSA for the year. If you
fail to maintain eligibility for an HSA for
the 12 months following the month of
the HFD, you may have to report the
HFD as income and pay an additional
tax. See Form 8889, Part III.
See Pub. 590 for details.
More than one exception applies.
If more than one exception applies,
include a statement showing the
amount of each exception, instead of
making an entry next to line 16b. For
example: “Line 16b – $1,000 Rollover
and $500 HFD.”
More than one distribution. If you
received more than one distribution,
figure the taxable amount of each
distribution and enter the total of the
taxable amounts on line 16b. Enter the
total amount of those distributions on
line 16a.

!

You may have to pay an
additional tax if: (a) you received
CAUTION
an early distribution from your
IRA and the total was not rolled over, or
(b) you were born before July 1, 1939,
and received less than the minimum

!

required distribution from your
traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs.
See the instructions for line 56 on page
26 for details.
Lines 17a and 17b — Pensions and
annuities. Use line 17a to report
certain pension distributions. Use line
17b to report the taxable portion of
those pension distributions.
You should receive a Form 1042-S
or 1099-R showing the total amount of
your pension and annuity payments
before income tax or other deductions

were withheld. This amount should be
shown in box 1 of Form 1099-R or in
box 2 of Form 1042-S. Pension and
annuity payments include distributions
from 401(k), 403(b), and governmental
457(b) plans. For details on rollovers
and lump-sum distributions, see page
15.
Report the part of any distribution
that is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the
United States on lines 17a and 17b. In
general, the gross amount of any

Simplified Method Worksheet — Lines 17a and 17b

distribution that is not effectively
connected income is subject to 30%
withholding (unless reduced or
eliminated by treaty). Report this
income on Schedule NEC, line 7.
Do not include the following
payments on lines 17a and 17b.
Instead, report them on line 8.
• Disability pensions received before
you reach the minimum retirement age
set by your employer.
• Corrective distributions (including any

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

excess contributions to retirement
plans. The plan must advise you of the
year(s) the distributions are includible in
income.
If you received a Form 1042-S
or 1099-R that shows federal
income tax withheld, attach it to
Form 1040NR.
Effectively connected pension
distributions. If you performed
services in the United States while you
were a nonresident alien, your income
generally is effectively connected with a
U.S. trade or business. (See section
864 for details and exceptions.) If you
worked in the United States after
December 31, 1986, the part of each
pension distribution that is attributable
to the services you performed after
1986 is income that is effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business.
Example. You worked in the United
States from January 1, 1980, through
December 31, 1989 (10 years). You
now receive monthly pension payments
from your former U.S. employer’s
pension plan. 70% of each payment is
attributable to services you performed
during 1980 through 1986 (7 years) and
30% of each payment is attributable to
services you performed during 1987
through 1989 (3 years). Include 30% of
each pension payment in the total
amount that you report on line 17a.
Include 70% of each payment in the
total amount that you report in the
appropriate column on Schedule NEC,
line 7.
In most cases, the effectively
connected pension distribution will be
fully taxable in the United States, so
you must enter it on line 17b. However,
in some situations, you can report a
lower amount on line 17b. The most
common situations are where:
• All or a portion of your pension
payment is exempt from U.S. tax,
• A portion of your pension payment is
attributable to after-tax contributions to
the pension plan, or
• The payment is rolled over to another
retirement plan.
See chapter 3 of Pub. 519; Pub.
575, Pension and Annuity Income; or
Pub. 939, General Rule for Pensions
and Annuities, for more information.
Fully taxable pensions and
annuities. Your payments are fully
taxable if (a) you did not contribute to
the cost (defined on this page) of your
pension or annuity, or (b) you got your
entire cost back tax free before 2010. If
your pension or annuity is fully taxable,
enter the total pension or annuity
payments on line 17b; do not make an
entry on line 17a.
If you received a Form RRB-1099-R,
see Pub. 575 to find out how to report
your benefits.
TIP

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Partially taxable pensions and
annuities. Enter the total pension or
annuity payments on line 17a. If your
Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R does not
show the taxable amount, you must use
the General Rule explained in Pub. 939
to figure the taxable part to enter on
line 17b. But if your annuity starting
date (defined below) was after July 1,
1986, see Simplified method below to
find out if you must use that method to
figure the taxable part.
You can ask the IRS to figure the
taxable part for you for a $1,000 fee.
For details, see Pub. 939.
If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable
amount, you can report that amount on
line 17b. But you may be able to report
a lower taxable amount by using the
General Rule or the Simplified Method.
If you received Form 1042-S, you must
figure the taxable part by using the
General Rule or the Simplified Method.
Simplified method. You must use
the Simplified Method if (a) your annuity
starting date (defined below) was after
July 1, 1986, and you used this method
last year to figure the taxable part, or
(b) your annuity starting date was after
November 18, 1996, and both of the
following apply.
• The payments are from a qualified
employee plan, a qualified employee
annuity, or a tax-sheltered annuity.
• On your annuity starting date, either
you were under age 75 or the number
of years of guaranteed payments was
fewer than five. See Pub. 575 for the
definition of guaranteed payments.
If you must use the Simplified Method,
complete the worksheet on page 14 to
figure the taxable part of your pension
or annuity.
See Pub. 575 for more details on
the Simplified Method.
Annuity starting date. Your
annuity starting date is the later of the
first day of the first period for which you
received a payment or the date the
plan’s obligations became fixed.
Age (or combined ages) at annuity
starting date. If you are the retiree,
use your age on the annuity starting
date. If you are the survivor of a retiree,
use the retiree’s age on his or her
annuity starting date. But if your annuity
starting date was after 1997 and the
payments are for your life and that of
your beneficiary, use your combined
ages on the annuity starting date.
If you are the beneficiary of an
employee who died, see Pub. 575. If
there is more than one beneficiary, see
Pub. 575 to figure each beneficiary’s
taxable amount.
Cost. Your cost is generally your
net investment in the plan as of the
annuity starting date. It does not
include pre-tax contributions. Your net
investment should be shown in box 9b

-15-

of Form 1099-R for the first year you
received payments from the plan. You
must figure your net investment if you
received Form 1042-S.
Rollovers. Generally, a qualified
rollover is a tax-free distribution of cash
or other assets from one retirement
plan that is contributed to another plan
within 60 days of receiving the
distribution. However, a qualified
rollover to a Roth IRA or a designated
Roth account generally is not a tax-free
distribution. Use lines 17a and 17b to
report a qualified rollover, including a
direct rollover, from one qualified
employer’s plan to another or to an IRA
or SEP.
Enter on line 17a the distribution
from box 1 of Form 1099-R or box 2 of
Form 1042-S. From this amount,
subtract any contributions (usually
shown in box 5 of Form 1099-R or
figured by you if you received Form
1042-S) that were taxable to you when
made. From that result, subtract the
amount of the qualified rollover. Enter
the remaining amount on line 17b. If the
remaining amount is zero and you have
no other distribution to report on line
17b, enter zero on line 17b. Also, enter
‘‘Rollover’’ next to line 17b.
See Pub. 575 for more details on
rollovers, including special rules that
apply to rollovers from designated Roth
accounts, partial rollovers of property,
and distributions under qualified
domestic relations orders.
Rollovers to a Roth IRA or a
designated Roth account ( other
than from a designated Roth
account). Enter on line 17a the
distribution from box 1 of Form 1099-R
or box 2 of Form 1042-S. See Form
8606 and its instructions to figure the
amount to enter on line 17b.
Lump-sum distributions. If you
received a lump-sum distribution from a
profit-sharing or retirement plan, your
Form 1099-R should have the “Total
distribution” box in box 2b checked.
You need to figure this on your own if
you received Form 1042-S. You may
owe an additional tax if you received an
early distribution from a qualified
retirement plan and the total amount
was not rolled over in a qualified
rollover. For details, see the instructions
for line 56 on page 26.
Enter the total distribution on line
17a and the taxable part on line 17b.
For details, see Pub. 575.
You may be able to pay less tax
on the distribution if you were
born before January 2, 1936, or
you are the beneficiary of a deceased
employee who was born before
January 2, 1936. For details, see Form
4972.

unemployment compensation paid to
you in 2010. Report this amount on line
20. However, if you made contributions
to a governmental unemployment
compensation program and you are not
itemizing deductions, reduce the
amount you report on line 20 by those
contributions.
If you received an overpayment of
unemployment compensation in 2010
and you repaid any of it in 2010,
subtract the amount you repaid from
the total amount you received. Enter
the result on line 20. Also, enter
“Repaid” and the amount you repaid on
the dotted line next to line 20. If, in
2010, you repaid unemployment
compensation that you included in
gross income in an earlier year, you
can deduct the amount repaid on
Schedule A (Form 1040NR), line 11.
But if you repaid more than $3,000, see
Repayments in Pub. 525 for details on
how to report the repayment.
Line 21 — Other income. Use line 21
to report any other income effectively
connected with your U.S. business that
is not reported elsewhere on your

month to figure the deduction.
Example If you were eligible to
participate in a subsidized health plan
maintained by your spouse’s employer
from September 30 through December

Were you covered by a retirement
plan? If you were covered by a
retirement plan (qualified pension,
profit-sharing (including 401(k)),
annuity, SEP, SIMPLE, etc.) at work or
through self-employment, your IRA
deduction may be reduced or
eliminated. But you still can make
contributions to an IRA even if you
cannot deduct them. In any case, the
income earned on your IRA
contributions is not taxed until it is paid
to you.
The “Retirement plan” box in box 13
of Form W-2 should be checked if you
were covered by a plan at work even if
you were not vested in the plan. You
also are covered by a plan if you were
self-employed and had a SEP,
SIMPLE, or qualified retirement plan.
If you were covered by a retirement
plan and you file Form 8815 or you
exclude employer-provided adoption
benefits, see Pub. 590 to figure the
amount, if any, of your IRA deduction.
Special rule for married
individuals. If you checked filing
status box 3, 4, or 5, and you were not
covered by a retirement plan but your
spouse was, you are considered
covered by a plan unless you lived
apart from your spouse for all of 2010.

extent of your income that is effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business.
Individuals. If you are a
nonresident alien individual, multiply
$3,650 by the total number of
exemptions entered on line 7d. If you
were a resident of South Korea, you
must figure the exemptions for your
spouse and children according to the
proportion your U.S. effectively
connected income bears to your total
income.
See Pub. 519 for more details.
Estates. If you are filing for an
estate, enter $600 on line 40.
Trusts. If you are filing for a trust
whose governing instrument requires it
to distribute all of its income currently,
enter $300 on line 40. If you are filing
for a qualified disability trust (defined in
section 642(b)(2)(C)(ii)), enter $3,650
on line 40. If you are filing for any other

described on this page.
• Tax from Form 8814 (relating to the
election to report child’s interest or
dividends). Check the appropriate box.
• Tax from Form 4972 (relating to
lump-sum distributions). Check the
appropriate box.
Tax Table or Tax Computation
Worksheet. If you are filing for an
estate or trust, use the Tax Rate
Schedules on page 59.
Individuals. If your taxable income
(line 41) is less than $100,000, you
must use the Tax Table that begins on
page 46 to figure your tax. Be sure you
use the correct column. If you checked
filing status box 3, 4, or 5, you must use
the Married filing separately column. If
your taxable income is $100,000 or
more, use the Tax Computation
Worksheet on page 58.
However, do not use the Tax Table,
Tax Computation Worksheet, or Tax
Rate Schedules to figure your tax if any
of the following applies.
Form 8615. You generally must use
Form 8615 to figure the tax for any
child who had more than $1,900 of
investment income, such as taxable
interest, ordinary dividends, or capital
gains (including capital gain
distributions), that is effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business, and who:
1. Was under age 18 at the end of
2010,

2. Was age 18 at the end of 2010
and did not have earned income that
was more than half of the child’s
support, or
3. Was a full-time student over age
18 and under age 24 at the end of 2010
and did not have earned income that
was more than half of the child’s
support.
But if the child files a joint return for
2010 or if neither of the child’s parents
was alive at the end of 2010, do not
use Form 8615 to figure the child’s tax.
A child born on January 1, 1993, is
considered to be age 18 at the end of
2010; a child born on January 1, 1992,
is considered to be age 19 at the end of
2010; a child born on January 1, 1987,
is considered to be age 24 at the end of
2010.
Schedule D Tax Worksheet. If you
have to file Schedule D (Form 1040)
and Schedule D, line 18 or line 19, is
more than zero, use the Schedule D
Tax Worksheet on page D-10 of the
Instructions for Schedule D to figure the
amount to enter on Form 1040NR, line
42.
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain
Tax Worksheet. If you do not have to
use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet
(see above), use the worksheet on
page 21 to figure the amount to enter
on Form 1040NR, line 42, if any of the
following applies.
• You reported qualified dividends on
Form 1040NR, line 10b.
• You do not have to file Schedule D
(Form 1040) and you reported capital
gain distributions on Form 1040NR, line
14.
• You are filing Schedule D (Form
1040) and Schedule D, lines 15 and 16,
are both more than zero.
Schedule J (Form 1040). If you had
income from farming or fishing
(including certain amounts received in
connection with the Exxon Valdez
litigation), your tax may be less if you
choose to figure it using income
averaging on Schedule J.
Line 43 — Alternative minimum tax.
The tax law gives special treatment to
some kinds of income and allows
special deductions and credits for some
kinds of expenses. If you benefit from
these provisions, you may have to pay
a minimum amount of tax through the
alternative minimum tax. This tax is
figured on Form 6251 for individuals. If
you are filing for an estate or trust, see
Schedule I (Form 1041) and its
instructions to find out if you owe this
tax.
If you have any of the adjustments or
preferences from the list on this page or
you are claiming a net operating loss
deduction, a general business credit, or
the foreign tax credit, you must
complete Form 6251. Otherwise, to see

see if you owe this tax. For details, see
page 1 of the Instructions for Form
6251.
Adjustments and Preferences:
• Accelerated depreciation.

incentive stock option and you did not
dispose of the stock in the same year.

conduct of a trade or business in the
United States unless:
1. You had a fixed place of business
in the United States involved in the
earning of transportation income, and
2. At least 90% of your U.S. source
gross transportation income was
attributable to regularly scheduled
transportation. Or, in the case of

If you do not want your refund
directly deposited to your account, do
not check the box on line 70a. Draw a
line through the boxes on lines 70b and

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.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

• 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.

IRA. You can have your refund (or
part of it) directly deposited to a
traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP-IRA,
but not a SIMPLE IRA. You must
establish the IRA at a bank or other
financial institution before you request
direct deposit. Make sure your direct
deposit will be accepted. You also must
notify the trustee or custodian of your
account of the year to which the deposit
is to be applied (unless the trustee or
custodian will not accept a deposit for
2010). If you do not, the trustee or
custodian can assume the deposit is for
the year during which you are filing the
return. For example, if you file your
2010 return during 2011 and do not
notify the trustee or custodian in
advance, the trustee or custodian can
assume the deposit to your IRA is for
2011. If you designate your deposit to
be for 2010, you must verify that the
deposit was actually made to the
account by the due date of the return
(without regard to extensions). If the
deposit is not made by that date, the
deposit is not an IRA contribution for
2010. In that case, you must file an
amended 2010 return and reduce any
IRA deduction and any retirement
savings contributions credit you
claimed.
You may be able to contribute
up to $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50
CAUTION
or older at the end of 2010) to a
traditional IRA or Roth IRA for 2010.
The limit for 2011 is also $5,000
($6,000 if age 50 or older at the end of
2011). You may owe a penalty if your
contributions exceed these limits.

TreasuryDirect. You can request a
deposit of your refund (or part of it) to a
TreasuryDirect online account to buy
U.S. Treasury marketable securities

information, go to

Form 8888. You can have your refund
directly deposited to more than one

Form 8888 instructions.
Line 70b. The routing number must
be nine digits. The first two digits must
be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. On
the sample check on page 28, the
routing number is 250250025. Rufus
and Mary Maple would use that routing
number unless their financial institution
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

instructed them to use a different
routing number for direct deposits.
Ask your financial institution for the
correct routing number to enter on line
70b if:
• The routing number on a deposit slip
is different from the routing number on
your checks,
• Your deposit is to a savings account
that does not allow you to write checks,
or
• Your checks state they are payable
through a financial institution different
from the one at which you have your
checking account.
Line 70c. Check the appropriate
box for the type of account. Do not
check more than one box. If the deposit
is to an account such as an IRA, health
savings account, brokerage account, or
other similar account, ask your financial
institution whether you should check
the “Checking” or “Savings” box. You
must check the correct box to ensure
your deposit is accepted. For a
TreasuryDirect online account, check
the “Savings” box.
Line 70d. The account number
can be up to 17 characters (both
numbers and letters). Include hyphens
but omit spaces and special symbols.
Enter the number from left to right and
leave any unused boxes blank. On the
sample check on page 28, the account
number is 20202086. Do not include
the check number.
If the direct deposit to your
account(s) is different from the amount
you expected, you will receive an
explanation in the mail about 2 weeks
after your refund is deposited.
Reasons your direct deposit request
may be rejected. If any of the
following apply, your direct deposit
request will be rejected and a check will
be sent instead.
• Any numbers or letters on lines 70b
through 70d are crossed out or whited
out.
• You request a deposit of your refund
to an account that is not in your name
(such as your tax preparer’s own
account).
• You file your 2010 return after
December 31, 2011.
The IRS is not responsible for a
lost refund if you enter the

Amount You Owe
Line 72 — Amount you owe.
To save interest and penalties,
pay your taxes in full by the due
date of your return (see When
To File on page 5). You do not have to
pay if line 72 is under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty
from line 73 in the amount you enter on
line 72.
You can pay by check, money order,
credit or debit card, or the electronic
federal tax payment system. Do not
include any estimated tax payment for
2011 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 “2010 Form 1040NR”
and your name, address, daytime
phone number, and identifying number
(SSN, ITIN, or EIN) on your payment.
To help 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 not

TIP

You may need to (a) increase
the amount of income tax
withheld from your pay by filing
a new Form W-4, (b) increase the tax
TIP

withheld from other income by filing
Form W-4P or W-4V, or (c) make
estimated tax payments for 2011. See
Income Tax Withholding and Estimated
Tax Payments for 2011 on page 39.
What if you cannot pay? If you
cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 72 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.
To apply online, go to IRS.gov, click on
“I Need To” and select “Set Up a
Payment Agreement.” 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 on or before the due date for filing
your return, not including extensions.
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 for filing your
return, not including extensions. You
must pay the tax before the extension
runs out. If you do not, penalties may
be imposed.
Line 73 — Estimated tax penalty.
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 72 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.
For most people, the “tax shown on
your return” is the amount on your 2010
Form 1040NR, line 59, minus the total
of any amounts shown on lines 62 and
65, and Forms 8828, 4137, 5329 (Parts
III through VIII only), 8801 (line 27
only), 8839, 8885, and 8919.
Also, subtract from line 59 any tax
on an excess parachute payment, any
excise tax on insider stock
compensation of an expatriated

corporation, any uncollected social
security and Medicare or RRTA tax on
tips or group-term life insurance, any
look-back interest due under section
167(g) or 460(b), and any write-in tax
included on line 59 from Form 8885.
When figuring the amount on line 59,
include household employment taxes
(line 58a) only if the total of lines 60a
through 60d is more than zero or you
would owe the penalty even if you did
not include those taxes. But if you
entered an amount on Schedule H
(Form 1040), line 7, include the total of
that amount plus the household
employment taxes on Form 1040NR,
line 58.
Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2009 tax return was for a
tax year of 12 full months and either of
the following applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your
2009 return and you were a U.S. citizen
or resident for all of 2009.
2. The total of lines 60a through
60d, 61, 64, and 67 on your 2010 return
is at least 100% of the tax shown on
your 2009 return. (But see Caution
below.) Your estimated tax payments
for 2010 must have been made on time
and for the required amount.
If your 2009 AGI was over
$150,000 (over $75,000 if you
CAUTION
checked filing status box 3, 4, or
5 for 2010), item (2) applies only if the
total of lines 60a through 60d, 61, 64,
and 67 on your 2010 tax return is at
least 110% of the tax shown on your
2009 return. This rule does not apply to
farmers and fishermen.

!

For most people, the “tax shown on
your 2009 return” is the amount on your
2009 Form 1040NR, line 57, minus the
total of any amounts shown on lines 60
and 61, and Forms 8828, 4137, 4136,
5329 (Parts III through VIII only), 8801
(line 29 only), 8885, and 8919.
Also, subtract from line 57 any tax
on an excess parachute payment, any
excise tax on insider stock
compensation of an expatriated
corporation, any uncollected social
security and Medicare or RRTA tax on
tips or group-term life insurance, any
look-back interest due under section
167(g) or 460(b), and write-in tax
included on line 57 from Form 8885.
When figuring the amount on line 57,
include household employment taxes
only if the total of lines 58a through 58d
is more than zero or you would have
owed the estimated tax penalty for
2009 even if you did not include those
taxes. But if you entered an amount on
your 2009 Schedule H (Form 1040),
line 7, include the total of that amount
plus the household employment taxes
on your 2009 Form 1040NR, line 56.

Figuring the penalty. If the
Exception earlier does not apply and
you choose to figure the penalty
yourself, see Form 2210 (or Form
2210-F for farmers and fishermen) to
find out if you owe the penalty. If you
do, you can use the form to figure the
amount.
Enter any penalty on line 73. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the
total on line 72.
However, if you have an
overpayment on line 69, subtract the
penalty from the amount you otherwise
would enter on line 70a or 71. Lines
70a, 71, and 73 must equal line 69.
If the penalty is more than the
overpayment on line 69, enter -0- on
lines 70a and 71. Then subtract line 69
from line 73 and enter the result on line
72.
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
complicated, you can leave line
73 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.

CAUTION
elsewhere, such as on Form
1040NR or Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F
(Form 1040).
Note. Except as provided below,
include only deductions and losses
properly allocated and apportioned to
income effectively connected with a U.S
trade or business. Do not include
deductions and/or losses that relate to
exempt income or to income that is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. See section 861(b).
Exception. You can deduct certain

and theft losses even if they do not
relate to your effectively connected
income. See Gifts to U.S. Charities
below, and Casualty and Theft Losses
on page 33.

!

State and Local Income
Taxes
Lines 1 Through 3
You can deduct state and local income
taxes you paid or that were withheld
from your salary during 2010 on income
connected with a U.S. trade or
business. If, during 2010, you received
any refunds of, or credits for, income
tax paid in earlier years, do not subtract
them from the amount you deduct here.
Instead, see the Instructions for Form
1040NR, line 11, on page 12.

Gifts to U.S. Charities
Lines 4 Through 7
You can deduct contributions or gifts
you gave to U.S. organizations that are
religious, charitable, educational,
scientific, or literary in purpose. You
also can deduct what you gave to
organizations that work to prevent
cruelty to children or animals. See Pub.
526 for details.
To verify an organization’s charitable
status, you can:
• Check with the organization to which
you made the donation. The
organization should be able to provide
you with verification of its charitable
status.
• See Pub. 78 for a list of most
qualified organizations. You can access
Pub. 78 at www.irs.gov/charities under
Search for Charities.
• Call our Tax Exempt/Government
Entities Customer Account Services at
1-877-829-5500 if you are in the United
States.

Examples of U.S. qualified charitable
organizations include the following.
• Churches, mosques, synagogues,
temples, etc.
• Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs of
America, CARE, Girl Scouts, Goodwill
Industries, Red Cross, Salvation Army,
United Way, etc.
• Fraternal orders, if the gifts will be
used for the purposes listed earlier.
• Veterans’ and certain cultural groups.
• Nonprofit schools, hospitals, and
organizations whose purpose is to find
a cure for, or help people who have,
arthritis, asthma, birth defects, cancer,
cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes,
heart disease, hemophilia, mental
illness or retardation, multiple sclerosis,
muscular dystrophy, tuberculosis, etc.
• Federal, state, and local
governments if the gifts are solely for
public purposes.
Contributions you can deduct.
Contributions can be in cash, property,
or out-of-pocket expenses you paid to
do volunteer work for the kinds of
organizations described earlier. If you
drove to and from the volunteer work,
you can take the actual cost of gas and
oil or 14 cents a mile. Add parking and
tolls to the amount you claim under
either method. But do not deduct any
amounts that were repaid to you.
Gifts from which you benefit. If you
made a gift and received a benefit in
return, such as food, entertainment, or
merchandise, you generally can deduct
only the amount that is more than the
value of the benefit. But this rule does
not apply to certain membership
benefits provided in return for an
annual payment of $75 or less or to
certain items or benefits of token value.
For details, see Pub. 526.
Example. You paid $70 to a
charitable organization to attend a
fund-raising dinner and the value of the
dinner was $40. You can deduct only
$30.
Gifts of $250 or more. You can
deduct a gift of $250 or more only if you
have a statement from the charitable
organization showing the information in
(1) and (2) below.
1. The amount of any money
contributed and a description (but not
value) of any property donated.
2. Whether the organization did or
did not give you any goods or services
in return for your contribution. If you did
receive any goods or services, a
description and estimate of the value
must be included. If you received only
intangible religious benefits (such as
admission to a religious ceremony), the
organization must state this, but it does
not have to describe or value the
benefit.
In figuring whether a gift is $250 or
more, do not combine separate

-32-

donations. For example, if you gave
your church $25 each week for a total
of $1,300, treat each $25 payment as a
separate gift. If you made donations
through payroll deductions, treat each
deduction from each paycheck as a
separate gift. See Pub. 526 if you made
a separate gift of $250 or more through
payroll deduction.
You must get the statement by
the date you file your return or
the due date (including
extensions) for filing your return,
whichever is earlier. Do not attach the
statement to your return. Instead, keep
it for your records.
TIP

Limit on the amount you can deduct.
See Pub. 526 to figure the amount of
your deduction if any of the following
applies.
1. Your cash contributions or
contributions of ordinary income
property are more than 30% of the
amount on Form 1040NR, line 37.
2. Your gifts of capital gain property
are more than 20% of the amount on
Form 1040NR, line 37.
3. You gave gifts of property that
increased in value or gave gifts of the
use of property.
Contributions you cannot deduct.
• Travel expenses (including meals
and lodging) while away from home,
unless there was no significant element
of personal pleasure, recreation, or
vacation in the travel.
• Political contributions.
• Dues, fees, or bills paid to country
clubs, lodges, fraternal orders, or
similar groups.
• Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets.
• Cost of tuition. But you may be able
to deduct this expense on Schedule A,
line 9. See page 34.
• Value of your time or services.
• Value of blood given to a blood bank.
• The transfer of a future interest in
tangible personal property (generally,
until the entire interest has been
transferred).
• Gifts to individuals and groups that
are run for personal profit.
• Gifts to foreign organizations. But
you may be able to deduct gifts to
certain U.S. organizations that transfer
funds to foreign charities and certain
Canadian, Israeli, and Mexican
charities. See Pub. 526 for details.
• Gifts to organizations engaged in
certain political activities that are of
direct financial interest to your trade or
business. See section 170(f)(9).

instructions for details.

Line 4–Gifts by Cash or Check

Contributions of clothing and
household items. A deduction for
these contributions will be allowed only
if the items are in good used condition
or better. However, this rule does not
apply to a contribution of any single
item for which a deduction of more than
$500 is claimed and for which you
include a qualified appraisal and Form
8283 with your tax return.

If you contributed money for the
relief of victims in areas affected
CAUTION
by the January 12, 2010,
earthquake in Haiti and chose to deduct
those amounts on your 2009 return
instead of your 2010 return, do not
include those amounts again on line 4.
Enter on line 4 the total gifts you
made in cash or by check (including
out-of-pocket expenses).
Recordkeeping. For any contribution
made in cash, regardless of the
amount, you must maintain as a record
of the contribution a bank record (such
as a canceled check or credit card
statement) or a written record from the
charity. The written record must include
the name of the charity, date, and
amount of the contribution. If you made
contributions through payroll deduction,
see Pub. 526 for information on the
records you must keep. Do not attach
the record to your tax return. Instead,
keep it with your other tax records.
Haiti relief contributions. If you
made a contribution by phone or text
message for the relief of victims in
areas affected by the January 12, 2010,
earthquake in Haiti, you can satisfy the
recordkeeping requirement if you have
a telephone bill showing the name of
the donee organization, the date of the
contribution, and the amount of the
contribution.

!

Line 5–Other Than by Cash or
Check
Enter your contributions of property. If
you gave used items, such as clothing
or furniture, deduct their fair market
value at the time you gave them. Fair
market value is what a willing buyer
would pay a willing seller when neither
has to buy or sell and both are aware of
the conditions of the sale. For more
details on determining the value of
donated property, see Pub. 561.
If the amount of your deduction is
more than $500, you must complete
and attach Form 8283. For this
purpose, the “amount of your
deduction” means your deduction
before applying any income limits that
could result in a carryover of
contributions. If you deduct more than
$500 for a contribution of a motor
vehicle, boat, or airplane, you also must
attach a statement from the charitable
organization to your return. The
organization may use Form 1098-C to
provide the required information. If your
total deduction is over $5,000, you also
may have to get appraisals of the
values of the donated property. This
amount is $500 for certain contributions
of clothing and household items (see
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Recordkeeping. If you gave property,
you should keep a receipt or written
statement from the organization you
gave the property to, or a reliable
written record, that shows the
organization’s name and address, the
date and location of the gift, and a
description of the property. For each
gift of property, you also should keep
reliable written records that include:
• How you figured the property’s value
at the time you gave it. If the value was
determined by an appraisal, keep a
signed copy of the appraisal.
• The cost or other basis of the
property if you must reduce it by any
ordinary income or capital gain that
would have resulted if the property had
been sold at its fair market value.
• How you figured your deduction if
you chose to reduce your deduction for
gifts of capital gain property.
• Any conditions attached to the gift.
If your total deduction for gifts of
property is over $500, you gave
CAUTION
less than your entire interest in
the property, or you made a “qualified
conservation contribution,” your records
should contain additional information.
See Pub. 526 for details.

Line 6–Carryover From Prior
Year
Enter any carryover of contributions
that you could not deduct in an earlier
year because they exceeded your AGI
limit. See Pub. 526 for details.

Casualty and Theft Losses
Line 8–Casualty or Theft
Loss(es)
Complete and attach Form 4684 to
figure the amount of your loss to enter
on line 8.
You may be able to deduct part or all
of each loss caused by theft,
vandalism, fire, storm, or similar
causes; car, boat, and other accidents;
and corrosive drywall. You also may be
able to deduct money you had in a
financial institution but lost because of
the insolvency or bankruptcy of the
institution.
You can deduct nonbusiness
casualty or theft losses only to the
extent that:

-33-

1. The amount of each separate
casualty or theft loss is more than
$100, and
2. The total amount of all losses
during the year (reduced by the $100
limit discussed in (1) above) is more
than 10% of the amount shown on
Form 1040NR, line 37.
Disaster losses. The special rules
that were in effect in 2008 and 2009 for
losses of personal use property
attributable to federally declared
disasters do not apply to losses after
2009. However, the special rules apply
to a loss you are deducting in 2010
from a disaster that was declared a
federal disaster in tax years beginning
after 2007 and that occurred before
2010 but which you could not deduct in
the year it occurred because you were
not sure whether part of it would be
reimbursed and you became
reasonably certain in 2010 that it would
not be reimbursed. See Form 4684 and
its instructions for details.
Use Schedule A, line 11, to deduct
the costs of proving that you had a
property loss. Examples of these costs
are appraisal fees and photographs
used to establish the amount of your
loss.

Job Expenses and Certain
Miscellaneous Deductions
Note. Miscellaneous deductions are
allowed only if and to the extent they
are directly related to your effectively
connected income. You can deduct
only the part of these expenses that

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Instructions for
Schedule NEC, Tax on
Income Not Effectively
Connected With a U.S.
Trade or Business
Enter your income in the row that lists
the correct category of income and in
the column that lists the correct tax rate
under a tax treaty or the general U.S.
tax rules. Use column (d) if the income
is subject to a 0% rate. Include income
only to the extent it is not effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States.
Withholding of tax at the source.
Tax must be withheld at the source on
income not effectively connected with a
U.S. trade or business that is paid to
nonresident aliens. The withholding is
generally at a 30% rate. The tax must
be withheld by the person that pays the
income. For details, see Pub. 519, Pub.
515, and section 1441 and its
regulations.
Certain amounts paid for guarantees
of indebtedness issued after September
27, 2010, are U.S. source income. If
the payments are not made in
connection with a U.S. trade or
business, tax must be withheld.
Exceptions. There are exceptions
to the general rule. The withholding tax
rate may be lower or the income may
be exempt if your country of tax
residence and the United States have a
treaty setting lower rates. Table 1 in
Pub. 901 summarizes which countries
have such treaties and what the rates
are.
The 30% tax applies only to amounts
included in gross income. For example,
the tax applies only to the part of a
periodic annuity or pension payment
that is subject to tax. It does not apply
to the part that is a return of your cost.
Categories of noneffectively
connected income. The following list
gives only a general idea of the types of
income to include on Schedule NEC.
The instructions for a specific line
include more information and any
exceptions to withholding. For more
information, see Pub. 519 and Pub.
515.
1. Income that is fixed or periodic,
such as interest (other than original
issue discount), dividends, rents,
salaries, wages, premiums, annuities,
other compensation, or alimony
received. Other items of income, such
as royalties, also may be subject to the
30% tax.
2. Gains, other than capital gains,
from the sale or exchange of patents,
copyrights, and other intangible
property.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

3. Original issue discount (OID). If
you sold or exchanged the obligation,
include in income the OID that accrued
while you held the obligation minus the
amount previously included in income.
If you received a payment on an OID
obligation, see Pub. 519.
4. Capital gains in excess of capital
losses from U.S. sources during 2010.
Include these gains only if you were in
the United States at least 183 days
during 2010.
5. Prizes, awards, and certain
gambling winnings. Proceeds from
lotteries, raffles, etc., are gambling
winnings (see Pub. 519 for exceptions).
You must report the full amount of your
winnings unless you are a resident of
Canada. See Line 10a and
10b — Gambling winnings-Residents of
Canada and Line 11 — Gambling
winnings-Residents of countries other
than Canada on this page and page 36.
Lines 1a and 1b — Dividends. Except
as provided below, include all dividends
paid by U.S. corporations on line 1a.
Include all U.S. source dividends paid
by foreign corporations on line 1b. A
dividend includes a substitute dividend
payment made to the transferor of a
security in a securities lending
transaction or a sale-repurchase
transaction that would be treated as a
dividend if it were a distribution on the
transferred security.
Dividend equivalent payments.
Dividends also include all dividend
equivalent payments made after
September 13, 2010. Dividend
equivalent payments include substitute
dividends, payments made pursuant to
a specified notional principal contract,
and all similar payments that, directly or
indirectly, are contingent on or
determined by reference to, the
payment of a dividend from U.S.
sources.
Exceptions. The following items of
dividend income that you received as a
nonresident alien generally are exempt
from the 30% tax.
• Interest-related dividends received
from a mutual fund.
• Short-term capital gain dividends
from a mutual fund only if you were
present in the United States for less
than 183 days during the tax year.
• If a U.S. corporation received most of
its gross income from the active
conduct of a foreign business, the part
of the dividend attributable to the
foreign gross income.
• U.S. source dividends paid by certain
foreign corporations.
For more information, including other
exceptions to withholding, see
Dividends in Pub. 519 and Dividends
in Pub. 515.

-35-

Lines 2a through 2c — Interest.
Include all interest on the appropriate
line 2a, 2b, or 2c.
Exceptions. The following items of
interest income that you received as a
nonresident alien generally are exempt
from the 30% tax.
• Interest from a U.S. bank, savings
and loan association, or similar
institution, and from certain deposits
with U.S. insurance companies.
• Portfolio interest on obligations
issued after July 18, 1984.
For more information, including other
exceptions to withholding, see Interest
in Pub. 519 and Interest in Pub. 515.
Line 6 — Real property income and
natural resources royalties. Enter
income from real property on line 6. Do
not include any income that you elected
to treat as effectively connected and
included on line 18 on Form 1040NR,
page 1. For more information, see the
instructions for line 18 on page 16.
Line 8 — Social security benefits (and
tier 1 railroad retirement benefits
treated as social security). 85% of
the U.S. social security and equivalent
railroad retirement benefits you
received are taxable. This amount is
treated as U.S. source income not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. It is subject to the 30% tax

include any Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) payments.
You should receive a Form
SSA-1042S showing the total social
security benefits paid to you in 2010
and the amount of any benefits you
repaid in 2010. If you received railroad
retirement benefits treated as social
security, you should receive a Form
RRB-1042S.
Enter 85% of the total amount from
box 5 of all of your Forms SSA-1042S
and Forms RRB-1042S in the

losses to the extent of your U.S. source

gambling winnings. Enter your
gambling losses on line 10b. Enter your
net gambling income on line 10c,
column (c). If line 10b is more than line
10a, enter -0- on line 10c. A net loss
from gambling activities is not
deductible.
Line 11 — Gambling
winnings-Residents of countries
other than Canada. If you are a
resident of any country other than
Canada and are not engaged in the
trade or business of gambling, enter all
gambling winnings on line 11, column
(c). Include proceeds from lotteries and
raffles. Do not include winnings from

TIP

showing that tax was withheld, enter
these winnings on line 11, column (d),
and enter 0% as the tax rate. You can
claim a refund of the tax.
Line 12 — Other. Include all U.S.
source income that has not been
reported on another line or is not
excluded from tax. This includes prizes
and awards.
Example. John Maple is a resident
of Canada who purchased stock in
XYZ, a U.S. corporation. In 2010, XYZ
paid dividends of $1,000 to John. The
U.S. withholding tax rate on these
dividends is 30%. However, Article X of
the tax treaty between the United
States and Canada limits the U.S. tax
rate on these dividends to a maximum
rate of 15%. John filed Form W-8BEN
with XYZ to claim the lower treaty rate,
and XYZ correctly withheld $150. In
addition, John has U.S. source gross
gambling winnings of $5,000 and U.S.
source gambling losses of $4,500.

These items would be reported on
Schedule NEC as shown in the
example below.
Lines 16 through 18 — Capital gains
and losses from sales or exchanges
of property. Include these gains only
if you were in the United States at least
183 days during 2010. They are not
subject to U.S. tax if you were in the
United States less than 183 days
during the tax year. In determining your
net gain, do not use the capital loss
carryover.
Losses from sales or exchanges of
capital assets in excess of similar gains
are not allowed.
Enter the amount from line 18 on
line 9.
If you had a gain or loss on
disposing of a U.S. real property
interest, see Dispositions of U.S. Real
Property Interests on page 7.

adequate documentation to a
withholding agent, you must attach to

!

your tax return all information that
otherwise would have been required on
the withholding tax 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.
If you fail to report the required
information, you will be charged a
penalty of $1,000 for each failure,

-38-

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
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.

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

Sign Your Return
Form 1040NR 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 and fill in the
Paid Preparer Use Only area 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.

Assemble Your Return
Assemble any schedules and forms
behind Form 1040NR in order of the
“Attachment Sequence No.” shown in
the upper right corner of the schedule
or form. If you have supporting
statements, arrange them in the same
order as the schedules or forms they
support and attach them last. Do not
attach correspondence or other items
unless required to do so.
Attach a copy of Forms W-2,
1042-S, SSA-1042S, RRB-1042S,
8288-A, and 2439 to the front of Form
1040NR. If you received a Form W-2c
(a corrected Form W-2), attach a copy
of your original Forms W-2 and any
Forms W-2c. Also attach Form(s)
1099-R to the front of Form 1040NR if
tax was withheld. Attach Form 8805 to
the back of your return. Enclose, but do
not attach, any payment.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2010)

General Information
How To Avoid Common
Mistakes
Mistakes can delay your refund or
result in notices being sent to you.

• Make sure you entered the correct

name and identifying number (SSN,
ITIN, or ATIN) for each dependent you
claim on line 7c. Check that each
dependent’s name and identifying
number agree with his or her
identification document. For each child
under age 17 who is a qualifying child
for the child tax credit, make sure you
checked the box in line 7c, column (4).

• Check your math, especially for the

child tax credit, total income, itemized
deductions, deduction for exemptions,
taxable income, total tax, federal
income tax withheld, and refund or
amount you owe.

• Be sure you used the correct method
to figure your tax. See the instructions
for line 42 on page 22.

• Be sure to enter your identifying

number in the space provided on page
1 of Form 1040NR. If you are married
and you checked filing status box 3 or 4
on page 1, also enter your spouse’s
information in the space provided on
page 1. Check that your name and
identifying number agree with your
identification document, such as your
social security card or the IRS notice
assigning your ITIN.

• Make sure your name and address
are correct.

• If you live in an apartment, be sure to
include your apartment number in your
address.

• If you received capital gain

distributions but were not required to
file Schedule D (Form 1040), make
sure you checked the box on line 14.

• Remember to sign and date Form

1040NR and enter your occupation(s)
in the United States.

• Attach your Form(s) W-2 and other

required forms and schedules. Put all
forms and schedules in the proper
order. See Assemble Your Return on
this page.

• If you owe tax and are paying by

check or money order, be sure to
include all the required information on
your payment. See the instructions for
line 72 beginning on page 29 for
details.

• Do not file more than 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

-39-

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.

What Are Your Rights as
a Taxpayer?
You have the right to be treated fairly,
professionally, promptly, and
courteously by IRS employees. Our
goal at the IRS is to protect your rights
so that you will have the highest
confidence in the integrity, efficiency,
and fairness of our tax system. To
ensure that you always receive such
treatment, you should know about the
many rights you have at each step of
the tax process. For details, see Pub. 1.

Income Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax
Payments for 2011
If the amount you owe or the amount
you overpaid is large, you may want to
file a new Form W-4 with your employer
to change the amount of income tax
withheld from your 2011 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 have pension or annuity income,
use Form W-4P. If you receive certain
government payments (such as
unemployment compensation or social
security benefits), you can have tax
withheld from those payments by giving
the payer Form W-4V.
If you do not pay your tax through
withholding, or do not pay enough tax
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 2011 Form
1040NR will show a tax refund or a tax
balance due of less than $1,000. If your
total estimated tax for 2011 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 2011 and
you must pay estimated tax, use Form
1040-ES. For more details, see Pub.
505.
For more information on
withholding or estimated tax
payments, see Paying Tax
Through Withholding or Estimated Tax
in Pub. 519, chapter 8.
TIP

Do Both the Name and
Identifying Number on
Your Tax Forms Agree
With Your Identification
Document?
If not, certain deductions and credits
may be reduced or disallowed, your
refund may be delayed, and you may
not receive credit for your social
security earnings. If your Form W-2
shows an incorrect SSN or name, notify
your employer or the form-issuing agent
as soon as possible to make sure your
earnings are credited to your social
security record.
If the name or SSN on your
social security card is incorrect,
call the Social Security
Administration at 1-800-772-1213. If the
name or ITIN in the IRS notice is
incorrect, call the IRS at
1-800-829-1040.

Secure Your Tax
Records from Identity
Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone
uses your personal information, such as
your name, social security number
(SSN), 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,
• Ensure your employer is protecting
your SSN, 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
IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit
at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form
14039.
For more information, see Pub.
4535.
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
1-800-829-4059.
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
may 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
contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or
1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).
Visit IRS.gov and enter “identity
theft” in the search box to learn more
about identity theft and how to reduce
your risk.

How Do You Make a Gift
To Reduce Debt Held By
the Public?
If you wish to do so, make a check
payable to “Bureau of the Public Debt.”
You can send it to: Bureau of the Public
Debt, Department G, P.O. Box 2188,
Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188. Or you
can enclose the check with your income
tax return when you file. Do not add
your gift to any tax you may owe. See
pages 29 and 30 for details on how to
pay any tax you owe.
TIP

You can deduct this gift on your
2011 tax return.

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

-40-

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.

Amended Return
File Form 1040X to change a return
you already filed. Also use Form 1040X
if you filed Form 1040NR 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. But 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. 519 and 556 for details.

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 4506T-EZ
or call us. If you are in the United
States call 1-800-908-9946.
If you are outside the United States,
call 267-941-1000 (English-speaking
only). This number is not toll-free.

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2010, 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

return purposes.

Claiming a Refund for a
Deceased Taxpayer
If you are a court-appointed
representative, file Form 1040NR for
the decedent and include 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.

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 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 instructions. For
example, if you are filing a 2007 return
in 2011, use the address in Where To
File on page 5. However, if you got an
IRS notice, mail the return to the
address in the notice.

the amount in the bottom margin of
Form 1040NR, page 2. Do not include
interest or penalties (other than the
estimated tax penalty) in the amount
you owe on line 72.

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).

Penalties
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, include it with
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.
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. This
penalty is in addition to interest charges
on late payments.

Interest and 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

Other. 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. 17
for details on some of these penalties.

8839 with your return, allow 14 weeks
before checking your refund status.
Go to IRS.gov and click on
Where’s My Refund. Have a
copy of your tax return handy.
You will need to provide the following
information from your return:
• Your social security number (or other
identification number),
• Your filing status, and
• The exact whole dollar amount of
your refund.
Refunds are sent out weekly on
Fridays. If you check the status
of your refund and are not given
the date it will be issued, please wait
until the next week before checking
back.
TIP

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
2010-33, 2010-17 I.R.B. 609, available

Estimates of taxpayer burden.
The table below shows burden
estimates as of November 15, 2010, for
taxpayers filing a 2010 Form 1040NR
tax return. 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 $200 per
return. This average includes all
associated forms and schedules,
across all preparation methods and
taxpayer activities. Taxpayers filing
Form 1040NR are expected to have an
average burden of about 13 hours, with
an average cost of $210 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 on this page.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is your voice at the IRS. Our
job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated equally and fairly, and
that you know and understand your rights. We offer free help to
guide you through the often confusing process of resolving tax
problems that you have not been able to solve on your own. The
worst thing you can do is nothing at all!
First, try to resolve your problem on your own. But, if you cannot do
so, then come to us. TAS can help if:
• Your problem with the IRS is causing financial difficulties or
hardship for you or your family.
• You have tried repeatedly to contact the IRS, but no one has
responded.
• The IRS has not responded to you by the date promised.
When you come to the TAS for help, you will be assigned to one
advocate who will be with you at every turn. Your advocate will
listen to you, help you understand what needs to be done, and stay
with you until your problem is resolved. We have offices in every
state, and our advocates are all experienced with the IRS, so we
know how to cut through the red tape. TAS can help you work out
an alternative payment plan. We’ll make sure the right people hear
your case, and that they act upon it.

As a taxpayer, you have rights that the IRS must abide by in its
dealings with you. Our tax toolkit at www.taxtoolkit.irs.gov is a first
step toward understanding what your rights are. You can get
updates on hot tax topics by visiting our YouTube channel at www.
youtube.com/tasnta and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/
YourVoiceAtIRS, or by following our tweets at www.twitter.com/
YourVoiceAtIRS.
If you think TAS might be able to help you, you can call your local
advocate, whose number is in your phone book; in Pub. 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
number at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. To

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)
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 Pub. 4134, Low Income
Taxpayer Clinic List. This publication is available at IRS.gov, by
calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676), or at your local IRS
office.
