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

General Instructions
What’s New
Future developments. The IRS has
created a page on IRS.gov for
information about Form 1040NR and
its instructions, at www.irs.gov/
form1040nr. Information about any
future developments affecting Form
1040NR (such as legislation enacted
after we release it) will be posted on
that page.
Due date of return. If you generally
must file Form 1040NR by April 15,
the due date for your 2011 Form
1040NR is April 17, 2012. The due
date is April 17, instead of April 15,
because April 15 is a Sunday and
April 16 is the Emancipation Day
holiday in the District of Columbia.
Refunds of certain withholding tax
delayed. Refund requests for tax
withheld and reported on Form
1042-S or Form 8805 may require
additional time for processing. Allow
up to 6 months for these refunds to
be issued.
Capital gains and losses. In most
cases, you must report your capital
gains and losses on new Form 8949
and report the totals on Schedule D.
If you sold a covered security in 2011,
your broker will send you a Form
1099-B (or substitute statement) that
shows your basis. This will help you
complete Form 8949. Generally, a
covered security is a security
acquired after 2010. See the
instructions for line 14.
Self-employed health insurance
deduction. This deduction is no
longer allowed on Schedule SE
(Form 1040). However, you can still
take it on Form 1040NR, line 29. See
the instructions for line 29 for more
information about this deduction.
Alternative minimum tax (AMT)
exemption amount increased. The
AMT exemption amount has
increased to $48,450 ($74,450 if a
Jan 12, 2012

qualifying widow(er); $37,225 if
married filing separately).
Repayment of first-time
homebuyer credit. If you have to
repay the credit, you may be able to
do so without attaching Form 5405.
See the instructions for line 58b.
Standard mileage rates. The 2011
rate for business use of your vehicle
is increased to 51 cents a mile (551/2
cents a mile after June 30, 2011).
The 2011 rate for use of your vehicle
to move is increased to 19 cents a
mile (231/2 cents a mile after June 30,
2011). The 2011 rate for use of your
vehicle to do volunteer work for
certain charitable organizations is still
14 cents a mile. In addition, beginning
in 2011, you may use the business
standard mileage rate for a vehicle
used for hire, such as a taxicab.
Roth IRAs. If you converted or
rolled over an amount to a Roth IRA
in 2010 and did not elect to report the
taxable amount on your 2010 return,
you generally must report half of it on
your 2011 return and the rest on your
2012 return. Report the amount that
is taxable on your 2011 return on line
16b (for conversions from IRAs) or
17b (for rollovers from qualified
retirement plans, other than from a
designated Roth account). See the
instructions for lines 16a and 16b and
lines 17a and 17b.
Designated Roth accounts. If you
rolled over an amount from a 401(k)
or 403(b) plan to a designated Roth
account in 2010 and did not elect to
report the taxable amount on your
2010 return, you generally must
report half of it on your 2011 return
and the rest on your 2012 return. See
the instructions for lines 17a and 17b.
Health savings accounts (HSAs)
and Archer MSAs. The additional
tax on distributions from HSAs and
Archer MSAs not used for qualified
medical expenses has increased to
20% for distributions after 2010. See
Form 8889 or Form 8853 (and the
instructions) for details.
Foreign financial assets. If you
have certain foreign financial assets
Cat. No. 11368V

with a total value of more than
$50,000 in 2011, you may have to file
new Form 8938 if you are one of the
following individuals.
• A bona fide resident of Puerto Rico
or American Samoa.
• An individual who elects to be
treated as a nonresident alien under
the provisions of a tax treaty with the
United States.
Check www.irs.gov/form8938 for
details.
Expired tax benefits. You cannot
claim the alternative motor vehicle
credit for a vehicle you bought after
2010 unless the vehicle is a new fuel
cell motor vehicle. See Form 8910
and its instructions.

Items to Note
Form 1040NR-EZ. You may be able
to use Form 1040NR-EZ if your only
income from U.S. sources is wages,
salaries, tips, refunds of state and
local income taxes, and scholarship
or fellowship grants. For more details,
see Form 1040NR-EZ and its
instructions.
Special rules for former U.S.
citizens and former U.S. long-term
residents. If you renounced your
U.S. citizenship or terminated your
long-term resident status, you may be
subject to special rules. Different
rules apply based on the date you
renounced your citizenship or
terminated your long-term residency
in the United States. See Special
Rules for Former U.S. Citizens and
Former U.S. Long-Term Residents
(Expatriates), later.
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. See the instructions for line 54 for
additional information. Deduct the
deductible part of your
self-employment tax on line 27.

Attach Schedule SE (Form 1040).
See the Instructions for Schedule SE
(Form 1040) for additional
information.
Social security or Medicare taxes
withheld in error. If you are a
foreign student on an F1, J1, M, or Q
visa, and social security or Medicare
taxes were withheld on your wages in
error, you may want to file Form 843,
Claim for Refund and Request for
Abatement, to request a refund of
these taxes. For more information,
see Refund of Taxes Withheld in

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 2011.
(These tests are explained in Green
Card Test and Substantial Presence
Test, later.) 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 2011. 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.

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
CAUTION remain a 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 2011. You meet this test if
you were physically present in the
United States for at least:
1. 31 days during 2011, and
2. 183 days during the period
2011, 2010, and 2009, using the
following chart.

You are a resident for tax purposes if
you were a lawful permanent resident
(immigrant) of the United States at
any time during 2011 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, later.) 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 to the USCIS
stating your intent to surrender your
green card.
2. You send this letter by certified
mail, return receipt requested (or the
foreign equivalent).

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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

medical condition that arose while
you were in the United States.
• Days you are an exempt individual
(defined next).
You may need to file Form
8843 to exclude days of
CAUTION presence in 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 2011,
• Establish that during 2011 you had
a tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2011 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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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.
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
CAUTION remain 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
engaged in a trade or business in the
United States during 2011. You must
file even if:
a. You have no income from a
trade or business conducted in the
United 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 the Internal Revenue Code.
However, if you have no gross
income for 2011, do not complete the
schedules for Form 1040NR. Instead,
attach a list of the kinds of exclusions
you claim and the amount of each.
Gross income. Gross income
TIP means all income you
received in the form of money,
goods, property, and services that is
not exempt from tax. In most cases, it
includes only income from U.S.
sources. Gross income includes
gains, but not losses, from asset
transactions. Gross income from a
business means, for example, the
amount on Schedule C (Form 1040),
line 7; or Schedule F (Form 1040),
line 9. But, in figuring gross income,
do not reduce your income by any
losses, including any loss on
Schedule C (Form 1040), line 7; or
Schedule F (Form 1040), line 9.
-3-

2. You were a nonresident alien
not engaged in a trade or business in
the United States during 2011 and:
a. You received income from U.S.
sources that is reportable on
Schedule NEC, lines 1 through 12,
and
b. Not all of the U.S. tax that you
owe was withheld from that income.
3. You represent a deceased
person who would have had to file
Form 1040NR.
4. You represent an estate or trust

you 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
58b on Line 58b—First-time
homebuyer credit repayment, later.

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.
You also must file a return if you
received HSA, Archer MSA, or
Medicare Advantage MSA
distributions.
You also must file a return if you

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 income items listed on page 1
of Form 1040NR, lines 8 through 21,
and on 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 2011 and your Schedule K-1
(Form 1065) includes only income
from U.S. sources that you must
report on Schedule NEC, lines 1
through 12.
If the partnership withholds
taxes on this income in 2012
CAUTION and the tax withheld and

Pub. 501 if you do not have to file but
received a Form 1099-B (or substitute
statement).
Exception for certain children
under age 19 or full-time students.
If your child was under age 19 at the
end of 2011 or was a full-time student
under age 24 at the end of 2011, 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 can 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, 1988,
is considered to be age 24 at the end
of 2011. 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 2011.
A personal representative can be an
executor, administrator, or anyone

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 in Identifying
-4-

Number, later), 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.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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 United States. See Pub.
901 for more information on tax
treaties.
Page 2—lines 53 and 60. 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 60.
Line 61a. Enter the total amount of
U.S. tax withheld from Form(s) 1099.
Line 61d. 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 69. Add lines 61a through 68.
This is the total tax you have paid.
Lines 70 and 71a. Enter the
difference between line 60 and line
69. This is your total refund.
You can have the refund deposited
into more than one account. See
Lines 71a through 71e—Amount
refunded to you, later, for more
details.
Line 71e. You may be able to
have your refund check mailed to an
address that is not shown on page 1.
See Line 71e, later, for more details.
Signature. You must sign and
date your tax return. See Sign Your
Return, later.
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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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 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 2011
calendar year is due by April 17,
2012. (The due date is April 17,
instead of April 15, because April 15
is a Sunday and April 16 is the
Emancipation Day holiday in the
District of Columbia).
If you file after this date, you may
have to pay interest and penalties.
See Interest and Penalties, later.
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 2011
calendar year is due by June 15,
2012.
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
-5-

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, 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 to file does not
CAUTION extend 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 in Election
To Be Taxed as a Resident Alien,
earlier), 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
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
Austin, TX 73301-0215 U.S.A.
Statements. Any statement you file
with your return must show your
name, address, and identifying
number (defined in Identifying
Number, later).
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
-6-

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, earlier)
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 discussed
earlier to be taxed as a resident alien,
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.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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, earlier) 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
on Form 1040, line 60. Enter “Tax
from Form 1040NR” as the code on
the space provided.
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:
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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 62. Enter
amounts from the attached statement
(Form 1040NR, line 61a through 61d)
in the column to the right of line 62
and identify and include them in the
amount on line 62.
When filing Form 1040NR, show the
total tax withheld on lines 61a
through 61d. Enter the amount from
the attached statement (Form 1040,
line 62) in the column to the right of
line 61a, and identify and include it in
the amount on line 61a.
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.
• 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
-7-

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 Line
43—Alternative minimum tax, later.
See Real Property Gain or Loss in
chapter 4 of Pub 519 for more
information.

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

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

Country name. Do not
abbreviate the country name. Enter
the name in uppercase letters in
English. Follow the country’s practice
for entering the postal code and the
name of the province, county, or
state.
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.
Death of a taxpayer. See Death of
a Taxpayer under General
Information, later.

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 both the name and
SSN on your Forms W-2, 1040NR,
and 1099 agree with your social
security card. If they do not, certain
deductions and credits on your Form
1040NR may be reduced or
disallowed and you may not receive
credit for your social security
earnings. If your Form W-2 shows an
incorrect SSN or name, notify your
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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 SSA at
1-800-772-1213.
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. Enter
‘‘ITIN’’ in the search box. 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, later.
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 & Pubs” and then on “Form

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, 2011.
• You were never married.
• You were legally separated under a
decree of divorce or separate
maintenance. But if, at the end of
2011, your divorce was not final, you
are considered married and cannot
check the box on line 1 or line 2.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

• You were widowed before January

1, 2011, and did not remarry before
the end of 2011. But if you have a
dependent child, you may be able
to use the qualifying widow(er) filing
status. See the instructions for line 6,

even if you did not live with your
spouse at the end of 2011.
If your spouse died in 2011,
consider yourself married to that
spouse for the whole year, unless you
remarried in 2011.
For federal tax purposes, a
marriage means only a legal union
between a man and a woman as
husband and wife, and the word
“spouse” means a person of the
opposite sex who is a husband or a
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
include American Samoans and
Northern Mariana Islanders who
chose to become U.S. nationals
instead of U.S. citizens.
Married persons who live apart.
Some married persons who have a
child and who do not live with their
spouse can file as single. If you meet
all five of the following tests and you
are a married resident of Canada or
Mexico, or you are a married U.S.
national, check the box on line 1. If
you meet the following tests and you
are a married resident of South
Korea, check the box on line 2.

medical care, school, or military
service, count as time lived in the
home.
4. Your home was the main home
of your child, stepchild, or foster child
for more than half of 2011.
Temporary absences by you or the
child for special circumstances, such
as school, vacation, business, or
medical care, count as time the child
lived in the home. If the child was
born or died in 2011, you still can file
as single as long as the home was
-9-

that child’s main home for the part of
the year he or she was alive in 2011.
5. You can claim a dependency
exemption for the child or the child’s
other parent claims him or her as a
dependent under the rules for
children of divorced or separated
parents. See Form 8332, Release/
Revocation of Release of Claim to
Exemption for Child by Custodial
Parent.
Adopted child. An adopted child
is always treated as your own child.
An adopted child includes a child
lawfully placed with you for legal
adoption.
Foster child. A foster child is any
child placed with you by an
authorized placement agency or by
judgment, decree, or other order of
any court of competent jurisdiction.

the box on line 6 if all of the following
apply.
1. You were a resident of Canada,
Mexico, or South Korea or were a
U.S. national.
2. Your spouse died in 2009 or
2010 and you did not remarry before
the end of 2011.
3. You have a child or stepchild
whom you claim as a dependent. This
does not include a foster child.
4. This child lived in your home for
all of 2011. Temporary absences by
you or the child for special
circumstances, such as school,
vacation, business, or medical care,
count as time lived in the home.
A child is considered to have lived
with you for all of 2011 if the child
was born or died in 2011 and your
home was the child’s home for the
entire time he or she was alive.

5. You paid over half the cost of
keeping up your home. To find out
what is included in the cost of
keeping up a home, see Pub. 501.
6. You were a resident alien or
U.S. citizen the year your spouse
died. This 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.
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.

Exemptions
Exemptions for estates and trusts are
described in the instructions for line
40, later.
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
2011.) 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 2011.
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
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
2011.
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
CAUTION child 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.
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.

!

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
TIP dependent can get an
identifying number, see
Identifying Number, earlier.
If your dependent child was born
and died in 2011 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.
-10-

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 IRS
individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN), earlier.
Line 7c, column (4). Check the
box in this column if your dependent
is a qualifying child for the child tax
credit (defined next). 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 63.
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 2011 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 2011 (or is filing a joint return for
2011 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 2011.
• The child lived with you for more
than half of 2011. 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 2011 if
the child was born or died in 2011
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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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
CAUTION tax treaty. Instead, include
these amounts on line 22 and
complete item L of Schedule OI on
page 5 of Form 1040NR.

!

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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
TIP 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 2011, 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.
You must keep documentation
showing why the alternative method
more properly determines the source
of the compensation.
-11-

Other types of income. The
following types of income also must
be included in the total 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 2011. Also, enter “HSH” and the
amount not reported on Form W-2 on
the dotted line next to line 8.
• Tip income you did not report to
your employer. This should include
any allocated tips shown in box 8 on
your Form(s) W-2 unless you can
prove that your unreported tips are
less than the amount in box 8.
Allocated tips are not included as
income in box 1. See Pub. 531,
Reporting Tip Income, for more
details.
Also include the value of any
noncash tips you received, such as
tickets, passes, or other items of
value. Although you do not report
these noncash tips to your employer,
you must report them on line 8.
You may owe social security
and Medicare tax on
CAUTION unreported tips. See the
instructions for line 55, later.
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 2011.
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 2011 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 2011, 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.
You cannot deduct the
amount deferred. It is not
CAUTION 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, 2012. 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 2011 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
2011 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
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, later.
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
-12-

all of your cost (or other basis), you
must report these distributions as
capital gains on Schedule D (Form
1040).
See Pub. 550 for more details.
Dividends on insurance
TIP 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 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 that follow. 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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

61-day holding period rule, just
described.
• 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.
• Payments in lieu of dividends, but
only if you know or have reason to
know that the payments are not
qualified dividends.
Example 1. You bought 5,000
shares of XYZ Corp. common stock
on July 8, 2011. XYZ Corp. paid a
cash dividend of 10 cents per share.
The ex-dividend date was July 15,
2011. 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, 2011.
You held your shares of XYZ Corp.
for only 34 days of the 121-day period
(from July 9, 2011, through August
11, 2011). The 121-day period began
on May 16, 2011 (60 days before the
ex-dividend date), and ended on
September 13, 2011. You have no
qualified dividends from XYZ Corp.
because you held the XYZ stock for
less than 61 days.
Example 2. Assume the same
facts as in Example 1 except that you
bought the stock on July 14, 2011
(the day before the ex-dividend date),
and you sold the stock on September
15, 2011. You held the stock for 63
days (from July 15, 2011, through
September 15, 2011). 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 15, 2011, through
September 13, 2011).
Example 3. You bought 10,000
shares of ABC Mutual Fund common
stock on July 8, 2011. ABC Mutual
Fund paid a cash dividend of 10
cents a share. The ex-dividend date
was July 15, 2011. 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, 2011. You have no qualified
dividends from ABC Mutual Fund
because you held the ABC Mutual
Fund stock for less than 61 days.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

Use the Qualified Dividends
TIP and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet or the Schedule D
Tax Worksheet, whichever applies, to
figure your tax. See the instructions
for line 42 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 2011, you may
receive a Form 1099-G. If you chose
to apply part or all of the refund to
your 2011 estimated state or local
income tax, the amount applied is
treated as received in 2011.
None of your refund is taxable
TIP 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
2010 and you claimed the standard
deduction on your 2010 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.
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.
-13-

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
2011 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 2011 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 61d the $1,260
shown in box 9 of Form 1042-S.
Example 2. The facts are the
same as in Example 1 except that
you are a citizen of a country that has
an income tax treaty in force with the
United States that includes a
provision that exempts scholarship
income and you were a resident of
that country immediately before
leaving for the United States to attend
ABC University. Also, assume that,
under the terms of the tax treaty, all
of your scholarship income is exempt
from tax because ABC University is a
nonprofit educational organization.
Note. Many tax treaties do not
permit an exemption from tax on

scholarship or fellowship grant
income unless the income is from
sources outside the United States. If
you are a resident of a treaty country,
you must know the terms of the tax
treaty between the United States and
the treaty country to claim treaty
benefits on Form 1040NR. See the
instructions for item L, Schedule OI,
later, 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 61d 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.
Line 14—Capital gain or (loss). If
you had effectively connected capital
gains or losses, you must complete
and attach Form 8949 and Schedule
D (Form 1040). But see the
Exceptions.
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, earlier.
Exception 1. You do not have to
file Form 8949 or Schedule D (Form
1040) if both of the following apply.
1. You have no capital losses, and
your only capital gains are capital
gain distributions from Form(s) 1099-

DIV, box 2a (or substitute
statements).
2. 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).
Exception 2. You must file
Schedule D (Form 1040), but
generally do not have to file Form
8949, if Exception 1 does not apply
and your only capital gains and
losses are:
• Capital gain distributions;
• A capital loss carryover from 2010;
• A gain from Form 2439 or 6252 or
Part I of Form 4797;
• A gain or loss from Form 4684,
6781, or 8824; or
• A gain or loss from a partnership, S
corporation, estate, or trust.
If Exception 1 applies, 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
TIP Schedule D (Form 1040), use
the Qualified Dividends and
Capital Gain Tax Worksheet in the
line 42 instructions 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
-14-

total distribution (from Form 1099-R,
box 1) on line 16b.
If you converted part or all of an
IRA to a Roth IRA in 2010 and did not
elect to report the taxable amount on
your 2010 return, you generally must
report half of it on your 2011 return
and the rest on your 2012 return. See
2010 Roth IRA conversions, later.
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 -0on line 16b. If the total distribution
was not rolled over in a qualified
rollover, enter 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 2012,
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 2011 or an earlier
year. If you made nondeductible
contributions to these IRAs for 2011,
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 2006 or
an earlier year.
b. Distribution code Q is shown in
box 7 of Form 1099-R.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

3. You converted part or all of a
traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a
Roth IRA in 2011.
4. You had a 2010 or 2011 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 2011.
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.
Generally, your total QCDs for the
year cannot be more than $100,000.
If you elected to treat a January 2011
QCD as made in 2010, report it on
your 2011 return like any other 2011
QCD, as just described. However, if
you also made another 2011 QCD
and the total was more than
$100,000, attach a brief explanation.
For example: “Line 16b-2010 QCD
$75,000; 2011 QCD $70,000.”
The amount of the QCD is limited
to the amount that would 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.
You cannot claim a charitable
contribution deduction for any
CAUTION QCD not included in your
income.
Exception 4. If the distribution is
a 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

!

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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.
The amount of an HFD
reduces the amount you can
CAUTION contribute 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.

!

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.” But you do not need to attach
a statement if only Exception 2 and
one other exception apply.
2010 Roth IRA conversions. If
you converted part or all of an IRA to
a Roth IRA in 2010 and did not elect
to report the taxable amount on your
2010 return, include on line 16b the
amount from your 2010 Form 8606,
line 20a. However, you may have to
include a different amount on line 16b
if either of the following applies.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2010 or the owner of the
Roth IRA died in 2011. See Pub. 590
to figure the amount to enter on line
16b.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2011. Use Form 8606 to
figure the amount to enter on line
16b.
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.
-15-

You may have to pay an
additional tax if: (a) you
CAUTION received an early distribution
from your IRA and the total was not
rolled over, or (b) you were born
before July 1, 1940, and received
less than the minimum required
distribution from your traditional, SEP,
and SIMPLE IRAs. See the
instructions for line 56, later, for
details.
More information. For more
information about IRAs, see Pub.
590.
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. Rollovers and
lump-sum distributions are explained
later.
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
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 earnings) of excess salary
deferrals or excess contributions to
retirement plans. The plan must
advise you of the year(s) the
distributions are includible in income.

!

Attach Form 1042-S or
TIP 1099-R to Form 1040NR if
any federal income tax was
withheld .
If you rolled over part or all of a
qualified retirement plan (other than a
designated Roth account) to a Roth
IRA in 2010 (or you rolled over part or
all of a 401(k) or 403(b) plan to a
designated Roth account in 2010)
and you did not elect to report the

taxable amount on your 2010 return,
you generally must report half of it on
your 2011 return and the rest on your
2012 return. See 2010 Roth IRA
rollovers, or 2010 in-plan rollovers,
whichever applies, later.
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

Simplified Method Worksheet—Lines 17a and 17b

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 part of your pension
payment is exempt from U.S. tax,
• A part 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 (see Cost, later) of your
pension or annuity, or (b) you got
your entire cost back tax free before
2011. 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.
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 later)
was after July 1, 1986, see Simplified
method, later, 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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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 later)
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 Simplified
Method Worksheet—Lines 17a and b
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 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
-17-

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.
2010 Roth IRA rollovers. If you
rolled over part or all of a qualified
retirement plan (other than a
designated Roth account) to a Roth
IRA in 2010 and you did not elect to
report the taxable amount on your
2010 return, include on line 17b the
amount from your 2010 Form 8606,
line 25a. However, you may have to
include a different amount on line 17b
(or include an amount on line 16b
instead of line 17b) if either of the
following applies.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2010 or the owner of the
Roth IRA died in 2011. See Pub. 575
to figure the amount to include on line
17b.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2011. Use Form 8606 to
figure the amount to include on line
16b.
2010 in-plan Roth rollovers. If
you rolled over part or all of a
qualified retirement plan to a
designated Roth account in 2010,
and did not elect to report the taxable
amount on your 2010 return, include
on line 17b the amount from your
2010 Form 8606, line 25a. However,
you may have to include a different
amount on line 17b if either of the
following applies.
• You received a distribution from
your designated Roth account in
2010 after September 27, or the
owner of the designated Roth
account died in 2011. See Pub. 575
to figure the amount to include on line
17b.
• You received a distribution from the
designated Roth account in 2011.

Use Form 8606 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, later.
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
TIP 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.
Line 18—Rental real estate,
royalties, partnerships, trusts, etc.
Report income or loss from rental real
estate, royalties, partnerships,
estates, trusts, and residual interests
in real estate mortgage investment
conduits (REMICs) on line 18. Use
Schedule E (Form 1040) to figure the
amount to enter on line 18 and attach
Schedule E (Form 1040) to your
return. For more detailed instructions
for completing Schedule E, see the
Instructions for Schedule E (Form

If you are electing to treat
TIP income from real property
located in the United States
as effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business, see Income You
Can Elect To Treat as Effectively
Connected With a U.S. Trade or
Business, earlier, for more details on
the election statement you must
attach. If you do not make the
election, report rental income on
Schedule NEC, line 6. See Income
from Real Property in chapter 4 of
Pub. 519 for more details.
Line 19—Farm income or (loss).
Report farm income and expenses on
line 19. Use Schedule F (Form 1040)
to figure the amount to enter on line
19 and attach Schedule F (Form
1040) to your return. For more
detailed instructions for completing
Schedule F, see the Instructions for
Schedule F (Form 1040). Also see
Pub. 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide, for
samples of filled-in forms and

schedules and a list of important
dates that apply to farmers.
Line 20—Unemployment
compensation. You should receive
a Form 1099-G showing in box 1 the
total unemployment compensation
paid to you in 2011. 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 2011
and you repaid any of it in 2011,
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
2011, 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 9.
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 return or other
schedules. List the type and amount
of income. If necessary, include a
statement showing the required
information. For more details, see
Miscellaneous Income in Pub. 525.
Examples of income to report on
line 21 include the following.
Taxable distributions from a
Coverdell education savings
account (ESA) or a qualified tuition
program (QTP). Distributions from
these accounts may be taxable if (a)
they are more than the qualified
higher education expenses of the
designated beneficiary in 2011, and
(b) they were not included in a
qualified rollover. See Pub. 970.
Nontaxable distributions from
these accounts, including rollovers,
do not have to be reported on Form
1040NR.
You may have to pay an
additional tax if you received a
CAUTION taxable distribution from a
Coverdell ESA or a QTP. See the
Instructions for Form 5329.

!

Taxable distributions from a
health savings account (HSA) or

an Archer MSA. Distributions from
these accounts may be taxable if (a)
they are more than the unreimbursed
qualified medical expenses of the
account beneficiary or account holder
in 2011, and (b) they were not
included in a qualified rollover. See
Pub. 969.
You may have to pay an
additional tax if you received a
CAUTION taxable distribution from an
HSA or an Archer MSA. See the
Instructions for Form 8889 for HSAs
or the Instructions for Form 8853 for
Archer MSAs.

apply to the amount of the recapture.
See the instructions for line 59, later.
Recapture of a charitable
contribution deduction if the
charitable organization disposes of
the donated property within 3
years of the contribution. See
Recapture if no exempt use in Pub.
526.
Canceled debts. These amounts
may be shown in box 2 of Form
1099-C or Form 1042-S. However,
part or all of your income from the
cancellation of debt may be
nontaxable. See Pub. 4681 or go to
IRS.gov and enter “canceled debt” or
“foreclosure” in the search box.
Taxable part of disaster relief
payments. See Pub. 525 to figure
the taxable part, if any. If any of your
disaster relief payment is taxable,
attach a statement showing the total
payment received and how you
figured the taxable part.

expenses that are more than the
$250 limit on Schedule A (Form
1040NR), line 7. An eligible educator
is a kindergarten through grade 12
teacher, instructor, counselor,
principal, or aide who worked in a
school for at least 900 hours during a
school year.
Qualified expenses include
ordinary and necessary expenses

expense is one that is helpful and
appropriate for your profession as an
educator. An expense does not have
to be required to be considered
necessary.
Qualified expenses do not include
expenses for home schooling or for
nonathletic supplies for courses in
health or physical education.
You must reduce your qualified
expenses by the following amounts.

Keep for Your Records

If, during 2011, you were an eligible trade adjustment

recipient, reemployment TAA (RTAA) recipient, or
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pension recipient,
see the instructions for Form 8885 to figure the amount to
enter on line 1 of this worksheet.
Be sure you have read the Exception in the instructions
for this line to see if you can use this worksheet instead
of Pub. 535, Business Expenses, to figure your
deduction.

1. Enter the total amount paid in 2011 for health insurance coverage
established under your business for 2011 for you, your spouse,
and your dependents. Your insurance can also cover your child
who was under age 27 at the end of 2011, even if the child was
not your dependent. But do not include amounts for any month
you were eligible to participate in an employer-sponsored health
plan (explained in the instructions for this line) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.
2. Enter your net profit* and any other earned income** from the
business under which the insurance plan is established, minus

• Excludable U.S. series EE and I

savings bond interest from Form
8815.
• Nontaxable qualified tuition
program earnings or distributions.
• Any nontaxable distribution of
Coverdell education savings account
earnings.
• Any reimbursements you received
for these expenses that were not
reported to you in box 1 of your Form
W-2.
For more details, see Pub. 529.
Line 25—Health savings account
(HSA) deduction. You may be able
to take this deduction if contributions
(other than employer contributions,
rollovers, and qualified HSA funding
distributions from an IRA) were made
to your HSA for 2011. See Form
8889.
Line 26—Moving expenses.
Employees and self-employed
persons (including partners) can
deduct certain moving expenses. The
move must be in connection with
employment that generates
effectively connected income.
If you moved in connection with
your job or business or started a new
job, you may be able to take this
deduction. But your new workplace
must be at least 50 miles farther from
your old home than your old home
was from your old workplace. If you
had no former workplace, your new
workplace must be at least 50 miles
from your old home. The deduction
generally is limited to moves to or
within the United States or its
possessions. If you meet these
requirements, see Pub. 521. Use
Form 3903 to figure the amount to
enter on this line.
Line 27—Deductible part of
self-employment tax. If you were
self-employed and owe
self-employment tax, fill in Schedule
SE (Form 1040) to figure the amount
of your deduction. If you completed
Section A of Schedule SE, the
deductible part of your
self-employment tax is on line 6. If
you completed Section B of Schedule
SE, it is on line 13.
Line 28—Self-employed SEP,
SIMPLE, and qualified plans. If
you were self-employed or a partner,
you may be able to take this
deduction. See Pub. 560, Retirement
Plans for Small Business; or, if you
were a minister, Pub. 517, Social
Security and Other Information for
Members of the Clergy and Religious
Workers.

Line 29—Self-employed health
insurance deduction. You may be
able to deduct the amount you paid
for health insurance for yourself, your
spouse, and your dependents. The
insurance also can cover your child
who was under age 27 at the end of
2011, even if the child was not your
dependent. A child includes your son,
daughter, stepchild, adopted child, or
foster child (defined in the line 7c
instructions).
One of the following statements
must be true.
• You were self-employed and had a
net profit for the year.
• You were a partner with net
earnings from self-employment.
• You used one of the optional
methods to figure your net earnings
from self-employment on Schedule
SE (Form 1040).
The insurance plan must be
established under your business.
Your personal services must have
been a material income-producing
factor in the business. If you are filing
Schedule C, C-EZ, or F (Form 1040),
the policy can be either in your name
or in the name of the business.
If you are a partner, the policy can
be either in your name or in the name
of the partnership. Either you can pay
the premiums yourself or your
partnership can pay them and report
them as guaranteed payments. If the
policy is in your name and you pay
the premiums yourself, the
partnership must reimburse you and
report the premiums as guaranteed
payments.
But if you were also eligible to
participate in any subsidized health
plan maintained by your or your
spouse’s employer for any month or
part of a month in 2011, amounts
paid for health insurance coverage for
that month cannot be used to figure
the deduction. Also, if you were
eligible for any month or part of a
month to participate in any subsidized
health plan maintained by the
employer of either your dependent or
your child who was under age 27 at
the end of 2011, do not use amounts
paid for coverage for that 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 31, you cannot use
amounts paid for health insurance
coverage for September through
December to figure your deduction.

If you qualify to take the deduction,
use the Self-Employed Health
Insurance Deduction Worksheet to
figure the amount you can deduct.
Exception. Use Pub. 535 instead
of the Self-Employed Health
Insurance Deduction Worksheet in
these instructions to figure your
deduction if either of the following
applies.
• You had more than one source of
income subject to self-employment
tax.
• You are using amounts paid for
qualified long-term care insurance to
figure the deduction.
Line 30—Penalty on early
withdrawal of savings. The Form
1099-INT or Form 1099-OID you
received will show the amount of any
penalty you were charged.
Line 31—Scholarship and
fellowship grants excluded. If you
received a scholarship or fellowship
grant and were a degree candidate,
enter amounts used for tuition and
course-related expenses (fees,
books, supplies, and equipment), but
only to the extent the amounts are
included on line 12. See the
examples in the instructions for line
12.
Line 32—IRA deduction.
If you made any
TIP nondeductible contributions to
a traditional IRA for 2011, you
must report them on Form 8606.
If you made contributions to a
traditional individual retirement
arrangement (IRA) for 2011, you may
be able to take an IRA deduction. But
you must have had earned income to
do so. If you were self-employed,
earned income is generally your net
earnings from self-employment if your
personal services were a material
income-producing factor. See Pub.
590 for more details.
A statement should be sent to you
by May 31, 2012, that shows all
contributions to your traditional IRA
for 2011.
Use the IRA Deduction Worksheet
to figure the amount, if any, of your
IRA deduction. But read the following
9-item list before you fill in the
worksheet.
1. If you were age 701/2 or older at
the end of 2011, you cannot deduct
any contributions made to your
traditional IRA for 2011 or treat them
as nondeductible contributions.
2. You cannot deduct
contributions to a Roth IRA. But you
may be able to take the retirement
-20-

savings contributions credit (saver’s
credit). See the instructions for line
47.
3. You cannot deduct elective
deferrals to a 401(k) plan, 403(b)
plan, section 457 plan, SIMPLE plan,
or the federal Thrift Savings Plan.
These amounts are not included as
income in box 1 of your Form W-2.
But you may be able to take the
retirement savings contributions
credit. See the instructions for line 47.
4. If you made contributions to
your IRA in 2011 that you deducted
for 2010, do not include them in the
worksheet.
5. If you received income from a
nonqualified deferred compensation
plan or nongovernmental section 457
plan that is included in box 1 of your
Form W-2, or in box 7 of Form
1099-MISC, do not include that
income on line 8 of the worksheet.
The income should be shown in (a)
box 11 of your Form W-2, (b) box 12
of your Form W-2 with code Z, or (c)
box 15b of Form 1099-MISC. If it is
not, contact your employer or the
payer for the amount of the income.
6. You cannot deduct
contributions to your spouse’s IRA.
7. Do not include qualified rollover
contributions in figuring your
deduction. Instead, see the
instructions for lines 16a and 16b.
8. Do not include trustees’ fees
that were billed separately and paid
by you for your IRA. These fees can
be deducted only as an itemized
deduction on Schedule A.
9. If the total of your IRA
deduction on line 32 plus any
nondeductible contribution to your
traditional IRAs shown on Form 8606
is less than your total traditional IRA
contributions for 2011, see Pub. 590
for special rules.
By April 1 of the year after the
TIP year in which you turn age
701/2, you must start taking
minimum required distributions from
your traditional IRA. If you do not, you
may have to pay a 50% additional tax
on the amount that should have been
distributed. For details, including how
to figure the minimum required
distribution, see Pub. 590.
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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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.

Tax Table or Tax Computation
Worksheet. If you are filing for an
estate or trust, use the Tax Rate
Schedules, later.
Individuals. If your taxable income
(line 41) is less than $100,000, you
must use the Tax Table, later in the
instructions, 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 after the
Tax Table.
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
2011,
2. Was age 18 at the end of 2011
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 2011 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
2011 or if neither of the child’s
parents was alive at the end of 2011,
do not use Form 8615 to figure the
child’s tax.
A child born on January 1, 1994, is
considered to be age 18 at the end of
2011; a child born on January 1,
1993, is considered to be age 19 at
the end of 2011; a child born on
January 1, 1988, is considered to be
age 24 at the end of 2011.
Schedule D Tax Worksheet. If you
have to file Schedule D (Form 1040),
and line 18 or 19 of Schedule D is
more than zero, use the Schedule D
Tax Worksheet in the Instructions for
Schedule D to figure the amount to
enter on Form 1040NR, line 42.
Qualified Dividends and Capital
Gain Tax Worksheet. Use the
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain
Tax Worksheet, later, to figure your
tax 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
-24-

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 in
Adjustments and Preferences, later,
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 if you should
complete Form 6251, add the amount
on line 39 of Form 1040NR to the
amounts on lines 1 and 13 of
Schedule A (Form 1040NR). If the
total is more than the dollar amount
shown below that applies to you, fill in
Form 6251.
• $48,450 if you checked filing status
box 1 or 2.
• $37,225 if you checked filing status
box 3, 4, or 5.

box 6.
Disposition of U.S. real property
interests. If you disposed of a U.S.
real property interest at a gain, you

see Nonresident Aliens in the
Instructions for Form 6251.
Adjustments and Preferences.
• Accelerated depreciation.
• Stock received by exercising an
incentive stock option and you did not
dispose of the stock in the same year.

Nonresident alien individuals are

trade or business. However, the term
U.S. source gross transportation
income does not include any such
income that is taxable in a

Revenue Code as applied to that
possession.
For purposes of this tax,
transportation income will be treated
as not effectively connected with the
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 income from the leasing of a
vessel or aircraft, it was attributable to
a fixed place of business in the
United States. See Pub. 519 for rules,
definitions, and exceptions.
You may be exempt from this tax
because of a treaty or an exchange
of notes between the United States
and the country of which you are a
resident. If the country of which you
are a resident does not impose tax on
the shipping or aircraft income of U.S.

persons, you also may be exempt
from this tax. If you are exempt from
the tax by treaty or exchange of
notes, complete Form 8833 and
attach it to this return. Also, complete
item L of Schedule OI on page 5 and
include the amount on line 22 on
page 1 of Form 1040NR. If you are
exempt from the tax for any other
reason, you must attach a statement
to Form 1040NR identifying your

exemption from the tax.
If you owe this tax, you must

Department’s Financial Management
Service (FMS). For federal tax
offsets, you will receive a notice from

need additional time to process the
refund. Allow up to 6 months for
these refunds to be issued.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
Simple. Safe. Secure.

Fast Refunds! Choose direct deposit — a
fast, simple, safe, secure way to have
your refund deposited automatically to
your checking or savings account,
including an individual retirement
arrangement (IRA). See the information
about IRAs later.

If you want us to directly deposit
the amount shown on line 71a to your
checking or savings account,

including an IRA, at a bank or other
financial institution (such as a mutual
fund, brokerage firm, or credit union)
in the United States:
• Complete lines 71b through 71d (if
you want your refund deposited to
only one account), or
• Check the box on line 71a and
attach Form 8888 if you want to split
the direct deposit of your refund into
more than one account or use all or
part of your refund to buy paper
series I savings bonds.
If you do not want your refund
directly deposited to your account, do
not check the box on line 71a. Draw a
line through the boxes on lines 71b
and 71d. We will send you a check
instead.
Why Use Direct Deposit?
• You get your refund faster by direct
deposit than you do by check.
• Payment is more secure. There is
no check that can get lost or stolen.
• It is more convenient. You do not
have to make a trip to the bank to
deposit your check.
• It saves tax dollars. It costs the
government less to refund by direct
deposit.
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 2011). 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 2011

return during 2012 and do not notify
the trustee or custodian in advance,
the trustee or custodian can assume
the deposit to your IRA is for 2012. If
you designate your deposit to be for
2011, 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 2011. In
that case, you must file an amended
2011 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 2011) to
a traditional IRA or Roth IRA for
2011. The limit for 2012 is also
$5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older at
the end of 2012). You may owe a
penalty if your contributions exceed
these limits.

Pub. 590.
TreasuryDirect. You can request
a deposit of your refund (or part of it)
to a TreasuryDirect online account

securities and savings bonds.
For more information, go to
www.treasurydirect.gov.
Form 8888. You can have your
refund directly deposited into more
than one account or use it to buy up
to $5,000 in paper series I savings
bonds. You do not need a
TreasuryDirect account to do this.
For more information, see the Form
8888 instructions.
Line 71b. 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
this page, the routing number is
250250025. Rufus and Mary Maple
would use that routing number unless
their financial institution instructed
them to use a different routing
number for direct deposits.
Ask your financial institution for the
correct routing number to enter on
line 71b 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 71c. Check the appropriate
box for the type of account. Do not

address here. See Foreign address,
earlier, for information on entering a
foreign address.
Note. If the address on page 1 of

Amount You Owe
Line 73—Amount you owe.

You may need to (a) increase
TIP the amount of income tax
withheld from your pay by
filing a new Form W-4, (b) increase
the tax withheld from other income by
filing Form W-4P or W-4V, or (c)
make estimated tax payments for
2012. See Income Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax Payments for
2012 in General Information, later.
What if you cannot pay? If you
cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 73 when you file, you can ask for:
-33-

• 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. 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 (without extensions).
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 or Form 9465-FS. To
apply online, go to IRS.gov and click
on “Tools” and then “Online Payment
Agreement.”
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.
If the due date is April 17,
2012, and you pay after April
CAUTION 17, 2012, you will be charged
interest on the tax not paid by April
15, 2012.
Line 74—Estimated tax penalty.
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 73 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
2011 Form 1040NR, line 60, minus
the total of any amounts shown on
lines 63 and 66 and Forms 8828,
4137, 5329 (Parts III through VIII
only), 8801 (line 27 only), 8839, 8885,
and 8919.
Also subtract from line 60 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
60, include household employment
taxes (line 58a) only if the total of
lines 61a through 61d is more than
zero or you would owe the penalty
even if you did not include those
taxes.
Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2010 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
2010 return and you were a U.S.
citizen or resident for all of 2010.
2. The total of lines 61a through
61d, 62, 65, and 68 on your 2011
return is at least 100% of the tax
shown on your 2010 return. (But see
Caution, later.) Your estimated tax
payments for 2011 must have been
made on time and for the required
amount.
If your 2010 AGI was over
$150,000 (over $75,000 if you
CAUTION checked filing status box 3, 4,
or 5 for 2011), item (2) applies only if
the total of lines 61a through 61d, 62,
65, and 68 on your 2011 tax return is
at least 110% of the tax shown on
your 2010 return. This rule does not
apply to farmers and fishermen.
For most people, the “tax shown
on your 2010 return” is the amount on
your 2010 Form 1040NR, line 59,
minus the total of any amounts shown
on line 62 and Forms 8828, 4137,
4136, 5329 (Parts III through VIII
only), 8801 (line 27 only), 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 write-in
tax included on line 59 from Form
8885.
When figuring the amount on line
59, include household employment
taxes only if the total of lines 60a
through 60d is more than zero or you
would have owed the estimated tax
penalty for 2010 even if you did not
include those taxes. But if you
entered an amount on your 2010
Schedule H (Form 1040), line 7,
include the total of that amount plus
the household employment taxes on
your 2010 Form 1040NR, line 58.
Figuring the penalty. If the
Exception just described does not
apply and you choose to figure the
penalty yourself, use Form 2210 (or
Form 2210-F for farmers and
fishermen).
Enter any penalty on line 74. Add
the penalty to any tax due and enter
the total on line 73.
However, if you have an
overpayment on line 70, subtract the
penalty from the amount you
otherwise would enter on line 71a or
72. Lines 71a, 72, and 74 must equal
line 70.
If the penalty is more than the
overpayment on line 70, enter -0- on
lines 71a and 72. Then subtract line
70 from line 74 and enter the result
on line 73.
Do not file Form 2210 with your
return unless Form 2210 indicates
that you must do so. Instead, keep it
for your records.
Because Form 2210 is
TIP complicated, you can leave
line 74 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

-34-

under this method. See the
Instructions for Form 2210 for other
situations in which you may be able
to lower your penalty by filing Form
2210.

Third Party Designee
If you want to allow your preparer, a
friend, a family member, or any other
person you choose to discuss your
2011 tax return with the IRS, check
the “Yes” box in the “Third Party
Designee” area of your return. Also,
enter the designee’s name, U.S.
phone number, and any five digits the
designee chooses as his or her
personal identification number (PIN).
If you check the “Yes” box, you are
authorizing the IRS to call the
designee to answer any questions
that may arise during the processing
of your return. You also are
authorizing the designee to:
• Give the IRS any information that is
missing from your return,
• Call the IRS for information about
the processing of your return or the
status of your refund or payment(s),
• Receive copies of notices or
transcripts related to your return,
upon request, and
• Respond to certain IRS notices
about math errors, offsets, and return
preparation.
You are not authorizing the
designee to receive any refund
check, bind you to anything (including
any additional tax liability), or
otherwise represent you before the
IRS. If you want to expand the
designee’s authorization, see Pub.
947.
The authorization will end
automatically no later than the due
date (without regard to extensions)
for filing your 2012 tax return. If you
wish to revoke the authorization
before it ends, see Pub. 947.

Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

Instructions for
Schedule A, Itemized
Deductions
Do not include on Schedule A
(Form 1040NR) items
CAUTION deducted elsewhere, such as
on Form 1040NR or Schedule C,
C-EZ, E, or F (Form 1040).

!

Note. Except as provided in the
exception 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 charitable contributions and
casualty 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, later.

State and Local Income
Taxes
Line 1
You can deduct state and local
income taxes you paid or that were
withheld from your salary during 2011
on income connected with a U.S.
trade or business. If, during 2011, 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, earlier.

Gifts to U.S. Charities
Lines 2 Through 4
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, check with the
organization to which you made the
donation. The organization should be
able to provide you with verification of
its charitable status.
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

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
-35-

you have a statement from the
charitable organization showing the
information in (1) and (2) next.
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
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
TIP 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.
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 7.

• 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. For details and
exceptions, see Pub. 526.
• Gifts to organizations engaged in
certain political activities that are of
direct financial interest to your trade
or business. See section 170(f)(9).
• Gifts to groups whose purpose is to
lobby for changes in the laws.
• Gifts to civic leagues, social and
sports clubs, labor unions, and
chambers of commerce.
• Value of benefits received in
connection with a contribution to a
charitable organization. See Pub. 526
for exceptions.

Line 2–Gifts by Cash or Check
Enter on line 2 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.

Line 3–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
below). See Form 8283 and its
instructions for details.
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.
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
CAUTION gave 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 4–Carryover From Prior
Year
Enter any carryover of contributions
that you could not deduct in an earlier
-36-

year because they exceeded your
AGI limit. See Pub. 526 for details.

Casualty and Theft Losses
Line 6–Casualty or Theft
Loss(es)
Complete and attach Form 4684 to
figure the amount of your loss to
enter on line 6.
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:
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)) is more than
10% of the amount shown on Form
1040NR, line 37.
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 on line 6
those amounts paid. See Pub 547 for
details.
Use Schedule A, line 9, 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
exceeds 2% of the amount on Form
1040NR, line 37.
Pub. 529 discusses the types of
expenses you can and cannot
deduct.
Examples of expenses you cannot
deduct.

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.
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 2011. Include these gains only

least 183 days during 2011.
5. Prizes, awards, and certain
gambling winnings. Proceeds from
lotteries, raffles, etc., are gambling

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.

as shown in the example earlier.
If you are claiming tax treaty
benefits and you failed to
CAUTION submit 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

!

-42-

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,
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 (2011)

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

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:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
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 include their preparer tax
identification number (PTIN) 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,
2439, and 8288-A 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.

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.
• 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,
earlier.
• 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 73 for details.
• Do not file more than one original
return for the same year, even if you
-43-

have not gotten your refund or have
not heard from the IRS since you
filed. Filing more than one original
return for the same year, or sending
in more than one copy of the same
return (unless we ask you to do so),
could delay your refund.

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 2012
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 2012
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 2012 Form 1040NR
will show a tax refund or a tax
balance due of less than $1,000. If
your total estimated tax for 2012 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 2012 and you must pay
estimated tax, use Form 1040-ES.
For more details, see Pub. 505.

For more information on
TIP withholding or estimated tax
payments, see Paying Tax
Through Withholding or Estimated
Tax in chapter 8 of Pub. 519.

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
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 or TTY/
TDD 1-800-877-8339. 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) or
TTY/TDD 1-866-653-4261.
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 the instructions for line
73 for details on how to pay any tax
you owe.
Go to www.publicdebt.treas.gov/
for information on how to make this
type of gift online.
You may be able to deduct
TIP this gift on your 2012 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 date the return was due or
filed or 2 years from the date the tax
-44-

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
chapter 1 of Pub. 17.

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, visit
IRS.gov and click on “Order a Tax
Return or Account Transcript.”
You can call us to order a tax
return or account transcript. 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 2011, 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
Instructions for Form 1040NR (2011)

taxpayer’s name, and the date of
death across the top of the return. If
this information is not provided, it may
delay the processing of the return.
The personal representative
should promptly notify all payers of
income, including financial
institutions, of the taxpayer’s death.
This will ensure the proper reporting
of income earned by the taxpayer’s
estate or heirs. A deceased
taxpayer’s SSN or ITIN should not be
used for tax years after the year of
death, except for estate tax return
purposes.

Claiming a Refund for a
Deceased Taxpayer
If you are a court-appointed
representative, file Form 1040NR 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
If you or someone you know needs
to file past due tax returns, use
TeleTax topic 153 or go to
www.irs.gov/individuals for help in
filing those returns. Send the return to
the address shown in the latest Form
1040NR instructions. For example, if
you are filing a 2008 return in 2012,
use the address in Where To File,
earlier. However, if you got an IRS
notice, mail the return to the address
in the notice.

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
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 73.

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).
-46-

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.
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 at www.irs.gov/irb/
2010-17_IRB/ar13.html.
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.

to your questions by having the
following information available.
• The tax form, schedule, or notice to

penalties and interest and be subject
to criminal prosecution. We may also
have to disallow the exemptions,
exclusions, credits, deductions, or
adjustments; this could make the tax
higher or delay any refund. Interest
may also be charged.
This notice applies to all papers
you file with us, including this tax
return. It also applies to any
questions we need to ask to
-48-

complete, correct, or process your
return; figure your tax; and collect tax,
interest, or penalties. You are not
required to provide the information
requested on a form that is subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless
the form displays a valid OMB control
number. Books or records relating to
a form or its instructions must be
retained as long as their contents
may become material in the
administration of any Internal
Revenue law.
Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as
required by section 6103. However,
section 6103 allows or requires the
Internal Revenue Service to disclose
or give the information shown on your
tax return to others. For example, we
may disclose your tax information to
the Department of Justice, to enforce
the tax laws, both civil and criminal,
and to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths
or possessions to carry out their tax
laws. We may disclose your tax
information to the Department of
Treasury and contractors for tax
administration purposes; and to other
persons as necessary to obtain
information needed to determine the
amount of or to collect the tax you
owe. We may disclose your tax
information to the Comptroller
General of the United States to permit
review of the Internal Revenue
Service. We may disclose your tax
information to committees of
Congress; federal, state, and local
child support agencies; and to other
federal agencies for purposes of
determining entitlement for benefits or
the eligibility for and the repayment of
loans. We may also disclose this
information to other countries under a
tax treaty, to federal and state
agencies to enforce federal nontax
criminal laws, or to federal law
enforcement and intelligence
agencies to combat terrorism. Keep
this notice with your records. It may
help you if we ask you for other
information. If you have any
questions about the rules for filing
and giving information, call or visit
any Internal Revenue Service office.

Estimates of Taxpayer
Burden
The table below shows burden
estimates based on current statutory

requirements as of October 31, 2011,
for taxpayers filing a 2011 Form
1040NR.
Reported time and cost burdens
are national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a “typical” case.
Most taxpayers experience lower
than average burden, with taxpayer
burden varying considerably by
taxpayer type. For instance, the
estimated average time burden for all
taxpayers filing a Form 1040NR is 14
hours, with an average cost of $190
per return. This average includes all
related forms and schedules, across
all preparation methods and taxpayer
activities. For taxpayers filing Form
1040NR-EZ, average time and cost
burden are estimated at about 7
hours and $50, respectively. Within
each of these estimates there is

significant variation in taxpayer
activity.
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. Tax
preparation fees vary widely
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,
earlier.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help
Taxpayer Advocate Service
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is your voice at the IRS.
Our job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated 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 haven’t been able to solve on your own.
Remember, the worst thing you can do is nothing at all!
TAS can help if you can’t resolve your problem with the IRS
and:
• Your problem is causing financial difficulties for you, your
family, or your business.
• You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of
adverse action.
• You’ve tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has
responded to you, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date
promised.

If you think TAS might be able to help you, call your local
advocate, whose number is in your phone book and on our
website at www.irs.gov/advocate. You can also call our toll-free
number at 1-877-777-4778.
To request Taxpayer Advocate Service help worldwide, call the
Puerto Rico Taxpayer Advocate office at 1-787-622-8930
(Spanish) or 1-787-622-8940 (English).
TAS also handles large-scale or systemic problems that affect
many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues,
please report it to us through our Systemic Advocacy
Management System at www.irs.gov/advocate.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics

If you qualify for our help, we’ll do everything we can to get your
problem resolved. You’ll be assigned to one advocate who will
be with you at every turn. We have offices in every state, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Although TAS is
independent within the IRS, our advocates know how to work
with the IRS to get your problems resolved. And our services
are always free.
As a taxpayer, you have rights that the IRS must abide by
in its dealings with you. Our online tax toolkit at
www.TaxpayerAdvocate.irs.gov can help you understand these
rights.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the
IRS. Some clinics serve individuals whose income is below a
certain level and who need to resolve a tax problem. These
clinics provide professional representation before the IRS or in
court on audits, appeals, tax collection disputes, and other
issues for free or for a small fee. Some clinics can provide
information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in many
different languages for individuals who speak English as a
second language. For more information and to find a clinic near
you, see the LITC page on www.irs.gov/advocate or IRS
Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This
publication is also available by calling 1-800-829-3676 or at your
local IRS office.

Suggestions for Improving the IRS
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
Have a suggestion for improving the IRS and do not know who to contact? The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) is a diverse
group of citizen volunteers who listen to taxpayers, identify taxpayers’ issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS service
and customer satisfaction. The panel is demographically and geographically diverse, with at least one member from each state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Contact TAP at www.improveirs.org or 1-888-912-1227 (toll-free).

2011 Tax Table
!

CAUTION

Sample Table

See the instructions for line 42 to see if you must use the Tax Table below to figure
your tax.

Example. Mr. Green is filing as a qualifying widower. His taxable income on line 41 of
Form 1040NR is $25,300. First, he finds the $25,300 - 25,350 taxable income line.
Next he finds the column for qualifying widower and reads down the column. The
amount shown where the taxable income line and filing status column meet is $2,949.
This is the tax amount he must enter on line 42 of his Form 1040NR.
