related to Form 1040-NR and its
instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go
to IRS.gov/Form1040NR.

Apr 01, 2020

What's New
IRA and pension reporting. You will
now report your IRA distributions and
pensions and annuities on separate
lines. Use lines 16a and 16b on Form
1040-NR to report your total IRA
distributions and the taxable amount.
Continue to use lines 17a and 17b to
report your total pensions and
annuities and the taxable amount.
See the instructions for lines 16a and
16b and lines 17a and 17b, later.
Gross income limitation increase.
The limitation for gross income has
increased from $4,150 to $4,200 for
tax year 2019 for the following: for a
child or stepchild of a qualifying
widow(er), for a qualifying relative for
the child tax credit, and for a person
for whom the student loan interest
deduction is claimed.
Qualified disability trusts. The
exemption amount for a qualified
disability trust increased to $4,200 for
2019.
Qualified business income deduction. The simplified worksheet for
figuring your qualified business
income deduction is now Form 8995,
Qualified Business Income Deduction
Simplified Computation. If you don't
meet the requirements to file Form
8995, use Form 8995-A, Qualified
Business Income Deduction. For
more information, see each form's
instructions.
Virtual currency. Your transactions
in virtual currency may result in
income reportable on Form 1040-NR.
See Virtual currency, later.
Alternative minimum tax (AMT) exemption amount increased. The
AMT exemption amount is increased
to $71,700 ($111,700 if you have
checked box 6 on page 1 of Form
1040-NR; $55,850 if you have
checked box 5 on page 1 of Form

If you held a qualified investment in a
qualified opportunity fund (QOF) at
any time during the year, you must file
your return with Form 8997, Initial and
Annual Statement of Qualified
Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments,
attached. See the Instructions for
Form 8997 for additional reporting
requirements.
Form 1040-SR. Do not file new Form
1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for
Seniors, in lieu of Form 1040-NR or
Form 1040-NR-EZ. Form 1040-SR
generally mirrors Form 1040 and can
be filed in lieu of Form 1040 if certain
criteria are met.
Extended tax provisions. Recent
legislation extended certain tax
benefits that had expired at the end of
2017. These tax benefits include the
following.
• Nonbusiness energy property
credit.
• Alternative fuel vehicle refueling
credit.
• Indian employment credit.
If you are eligible for one or more of
these benefits in 2019, you can claim
them on your 2019 return. If you are
eligible for one or more of these
benefits for tax year 2018, you may
need to file an amended return, Form
1040-X, to claim them. See IRS.gov/
Form1040X for more information
about amending a tax return.
Disaster tax relief. Disaster tax
relief was enacted for 2018 and 2019
for those impacted by certain 2018
and 2019 federally declared disasters.
The tax benefits provided by this relief
include the following.
• For students and business
apprentices from India eligible for the
benefits of Article 21(2) of the United
States-India Income Tax Treaty and
taking the standard deduction, an
increased standard deduction based
on their qualified disaster losses. See

the Tip in Line 37, later. See also
Line 7 in the instructions for
Schedule A, later, for information on
qualifying for and figuring the
increased standard deduction.
• An election to use your prior year’s
earned income to figure your current
year’s additional child tax credit. See
the instructions for line 64 and the

Instructions for Schedule 8812 for
more information on this election.
• Special benefits for certain
retirement plan distributions if certain
criteria are met. See Pub. 590-B,
Distributions from Individual
Retirement Arrangements (IRAs); or
Pub. 575, Pension and Annuity
Income.

If you are eligible for one or more of
these benefits in 2019, you can claim
them on your 2019 return. If you are
eligible for one or more of these
benefits for tax year 2018, you may
need to file an amended return, Form
1040-X, to claim them. See IRS.gov/
Form1040X for more information
about amending a tax return.

You can electronically file (e-file) your Form 1040-NR.

Affordable Care Act— What You Need To Know
Requirement To Reconcile Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit
The premium tax credit helps pay premiums for health insurance purchased from the Marketplace. Eligible
individuals may have advance payments of the premium tax credit made on their behalf directly to the insurance
company.
If you or a family member enrolled in health insurance through the Marketplace and advance payments of the
premium tax credit were made to your insurance company to reduce your monthly premium payment, you must
attach Form 8962 to your return to reconcile (compare) the advance payments with your premium tax credit for the
year.
The Marketplace is required to send Form 1095-A by January 31, 2020, listing the advance payments and other
information you need to complete Form 8962.
1. You will need Form 1095-A from the Marketplace.
2. Complete Form 8962 to claim the credit and to reconcile your advance credit payments.
3. Include Form 8962 with your Form 1040-NR. (Do not include Form 1095-A.)

Health Coverage Reporting
If you or someone in your family was an employee in 2019, the employer may be required to send you a Form 1095-C.
Part II of Form 1095-C shows whether your employer offered you health insurance coverage and, if so, information
about the offer. You should receive Form 1095-C by early March 2020. This information may be relevant if you
purchased health insurance coverage for 2019 through the Health Insurance Marketplace and wish to claim the
premium tax credit on line 65. You do not need to wait to receive your Form 1095-C to file your return. You may rely on
other information received from your employer. Do not include Form 1095-C with your tax return. If you do not wish to
claim the premium tax credit for 2019, you do not need the information in Part II of Form 1095-C. For more information
on who is eligible for the premium tax credit, see the Instructions for Form 8962.
Reminder: Health care coverage. If you need health care coverage, go to www.HealthCare.gov to learn about health
insurance options for you and your family, how to buy health insurance, and how you might qualify to get financial
assistance to buy health insurance.

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

Options for e-filing your returns—safely, quickly, and easily.
Why do 89% of Americans file their taxes electronically?
• Security—The IRS uses the latest encryption technology to safeguard your information.
• Flexible Payments—File early; pay by the due date of your return (not counting
extensions)—April 15, 2020, for most people.
• Greater Accuracy—Fewer errors mean faster processing.
• Quick Receipt—Get an acknowledgment that your return was received and accepted.
• Go Green—Reduce the amount of paper used.
• Faster Refunds—Join the eight in 10 taxpayers who get their
refunds faster by using direct deposit and e-file.

IRS e-file: It’s Safe.
It’s Easy. It’s Time.
Joining the more than 135 million Americans who already are using e-file is easy. Just ask your tax preparer or
use commercial software. IRS e-file is the safest, most secure way to transmit your tax return to the IRS. Since
1990, the IRS has processed more than 1 billion e-filed tax returns safely and securely. There’s no paper return
to be lost or stolen.
Most tax return preparers are now required to use IRS e-file. If you are asked if you want to e-file, just give it a try.
IRS e-file is now the norm, not the exception.

IRS.gov is the gateway to all electronic services offered by the IRS, as well as the spot to download forms at
IRS.gov/Forms.

Make your tax payments electronically—it’s easy.
You can make electronic payments online, by phone, or from a mobile device. Paying electronically
is safe and secure. The IRS uses the latest encryption technology and does not store the bank
account number you use to submit your payment. When you use any of the IRS electronic payment
options, it puts you in control of paying your tax bill and gives you peace of mind. You determine
the payment date, and you will receive an immediate confirmation from the IRS. It’s easy, secure,
and much quicker than mailing in a check or money order. Go to IRS.gov/Payments to see all your
electronic payment options.

Foreign-owned domestic disregarded entities. For tax years beginning
on or after January 1, 2017, and
ending on or after December 13,
2017, if a foreign person wholly owns
a domestic disregarded entity (DE),

under section 6038A that apply to
25% foreign-owned domestic
corporations. See the Instructions for
Form 5472, Information Return of a
25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation
or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a
U.S. Trade or Business, for additional
information and coordination with
Form 5472 filing by the domestic DE.

DE is generally a transparent entity,
the foreign person will include (or
continue to include) on Form 1040-NR
any of the domestic DE’s tax items
that are subject to reporting.

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 2019. (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 2019. 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, see
Dual-Resident Taxpayer, later, if you
are a resident of the United States
under these tests but are eligible to
claim benefits as a resident of a
foreign country under a U.S. income
tax treaty.
For more details on resident and
nonresident status, the tests for
residence, and the exceptions to
them, see chapter 1 of Pub. 519.

Green Card Test

You are a resident for tax purposes if
you were a lawful permanent resident
(immigrant) of the United States at
any time during 2019. (Also see
Dual-Status Taxpayers, later.) In most
cases, you are a lawful permanent
resident if the USCIS (or its
predecessor organization, INS) has
issued you an alien registration card,
also known as a green card.
You continue to have resident
status under this test unless the status
is taken away from you or is
administratively or judicially
determined to have been abandoned.
An administrative or judicial
determination of abandonment of
resident status may be initiated by
you, the USCIS, or a U.S. consular
officer.
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

Your resident status is considered
to have been taken away from you if
the U.S. Government issues you a
final administrative or judicial order of
exclusion or deportation. When your
resident alien status is considered to
have been administratively or
judicially determined to be abandoned
depends on who initiates the
determination.
If the USCIS or U.S. consular
officer initiates this determination,
your resident status will be considered
to be abandoned when the final
administrative order of abandonment
is issued. If you initiate the
determination, your resident status is
considered to be abandoned when
you file either of the following
documents—along with your USCIS
Alien Registration Receipt Card—with
the USCIS or a U.S. consular officer.
• USCIS Form I-407 (Record of
Abandonment of Lawful Permanent
Resident Status).
• A letter stating your intent to
abandon your resident status.
The USCIS Alien Registration
Receipt Card is also referred to as a
green card.
When filing by mail, you must send
your filing by certified mail, return
receipt requested (or the foreign
equivalent), and keep a copy and
proof that it was mailed and 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 10 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 chapter 1 of
Pub. 519. Also see USCIS.gov/i-407.

Substantial Presence Test

You are considered a U.S. resident if
you meet the substantial presence
test for 2019. You meet this test if you
were physically present in the United
States for at least:
1. 31 days during 2019; and
2. 183 testing days during the
3-year period of 2019, 2018, and
2017, as calculated using the
following chart.

Generally, you are treated as
present in the United States on any
day that you are physically present in
the country at any time during the day.
However, there are exceptions to this
rule. In general, do not count the
following as days of presence in the
United States for the substantial
presence test.
1. Days you commute to work in
the United States from a residence in
Canada or Mexico if you regularly
commute from Canada or Mexico.
2. Days you are in the United
States for less than 24 hours when
you are in transit between two places
outside the United States.
3. Days you were temporarily in
the United States as a regular crew
member of a foreign vessel engaged
in transportation between the United
States and a foreign country or a
possession of the United States
unless you otherwise engaged in
trade or business on such day.
4. Days you intend, but are
unable, to leave the United States
because of a medical condition that
arose while you were in the United
States.
5. Days you are in the United
States under a NATO visa as a
member of a force or civilian
component to NATO. However, this
exception does not apply to an
immediate family member who is
present in the United States under a
NATO visa. A dependent family
member must count every day of
presence for purposes of the
substantial presence test.
6. Days you are an exempt
individual (defined next).

-5-

You may need to file Form
8843 to exclude days of
CAUTION presence in the United States
if you meet (4) or (6) above. For more
information on the requirements, see
Form 8843 in chapter 1 of Pub. 519.

Exempt individual. For purposes of
the substantial presence test, an
exempt individual is anyone in one of
the following categories.
• An individual temporarily present in
the United States as a foreign
government-related individual under
an “A” or “G” visa, other than
individuals holding “A-3” or “G-5”
class visas.
• A teacher or trainee who is
temporarily present under a “J” or “Q”
visa, who substantially complies with
the requirements of the visa.
• A student who is temporarily
present under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q”
visa, who substantially complies with
the requirements of the visa.
• A 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 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 chapter 1 of Pub. 519 for more
details regarding exempt individuals
and days of presence in the United
States for the substantial presence
test.
You cannot be an exempt
individual indefinitely.
CAUTION Generally, you will not be an
exempt individual as a teacher or
trainee in 2019 if you were exempt as
a teacher, trainee, or student for any
part of 2 of the preceding 6 years. You
will not be an exempt individual as a
student in 2019 if you were exempt as
a teacher, trainee, or student for any
part of more than 5 calendar years.
However, there are exceptions to
these limits. See Substantial
Presence Test in chapter 1 of Pub.
519 for more information.

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 2019,
• Establish that during 2019 you had
a tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2019 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.
You are not eligible for the closer
connection exception if you have an
application pending for adjustment of
status to that of a lawful permanent
resident or if you have applied, or
have taken steps to apply, for lawful
permanent residence. See chapter 1
of Pub. 519 for more information.

You must file a fully completed
Form 8840 with the IRS to claim the
closer connection exception. See
Form 8840 in chapter 1 of Pub. 519.
Each spouse must file a separate
Form 8840 to claim the closer
connection exception.
Dual-Resident Taxpayer
You are a dual-resident taxpayer if
you are a resident of both the United
States and a foreign country under
each country's tax laws. If the income
tax treaty between the United States
and that foreign country contains a
provision for resolving conflicting
claims of residence (often referred to
as “tie-breaker” rules), and you
determine that you are a resident of
the foreign country under that
provision, you can be treated as a
nonresident of the United States for
purposes of figuring out your income
tax liability if you file a Form 1040-NR

-6-

by the due date of the return (see
When To File, later) and attach a
Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return
Position Disclosure Under Section
6114 or 7701(b). A dual-resident
taxpayer who does not timely file
Form 1040-NR may be eligible for
U.S. competent authority assistance.
See Rev. Proc. 2015-40, 2015-35
I.R.B. 236, or its successor. You can

c. Your income is exempt from U.S. tax under a tax treaty or any section of the Internal Revenue Code.

Schedule NEC, lines 1 through 12.

CAUTION

If the partnership withholds
taxes on this income in 2020
and the tax withheld and

reported in box 10 of Form 1042-S is
more or less than the tax due on the
income, you will need to file Form
1040-NR for 2020 to pay the
underwithheld tax or claim a refund of

were made for you or a dependent
who enrolled in coverage through the
Marketplace, you must file a 2019
return and attach Form 8962. You (or
whoever enrolled you) should have
received Form 1095-A from the
Marketplace with information about
your coverage and any advance
payments. You must attach Form
8962 even if someone else enrolled
you or your dependent. If you are a
dependent who is claimed on

business, and that income totaled less
than $11,000, you can elect to report
your child's income on your return. To
do so, use Form 8814. If you make

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 1040-NR solely
to claim a refund of U.S. tax withheld
at source under chapter 3 or tax
withheld under chapter 4 (FATCA).
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 Simplified Method
-8-

Page 4—Schedule NEC, lines 1a
through 12. Enter the amounts of
gross income you received from
dividends, dividend equivalents,
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.

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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 under chapter 3 or tax

exception to withholding. For more
information, see Interest in Pub. 519
and Pub. 515.

Withholding on distributions. If

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
-9-

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.

Election To Be Taxed as a
Resident Alien

You can elect to be taxed as a U.S.
resident for the whole year if all of the
following apply.
• You were married.

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 or are no longer a lawful
permanent resident of the United
States. You may become a
nonresident alien when you leave if
-10-

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, defined
earlier) 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, defined earlier.
See chapter 1 of Pub. 519 for more
information.

Income Subject to Tax for
Dual-Status Year

As a dual-status taxpayer not filing a
joint return, you are taxed on income
from all sources for the part of the
year you were a resident alien.
Generally, you are taxed on income
only from U.S. sources for the part of
the year you were a nonresident alien.
However, all income effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States is
taxable.
Income you received as a
dual-status taxpayer from sources
outside the United States while a
resident alien is taxable even if you
became a nonresident alien after
receiving it and before the close of the
tax year. Conversely, income you
received from sources outside the
United States while a nonresident
alien is not taxable in most cases
even if you became a resident alien
after receiving it and before the close
of the tax year. Income from U.S.
sources is generally taxable whether
you received it while a nonresident
alien or a resident alien (unless
specifically exempt under the Internal
Revenue Code or a tax treaty
provision).

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 in the
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

Instructions for Forms 1040 and
1040-SR.
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.
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 a
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 or 1040-SR,
including medical expenses, real
property taxes, and certain interest.
See the Instructions for Schedule A
(Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
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.

How To Report Income on
Form 1040-NR
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
share income. The spouse with the
separate property must report this
income on his or her separate return.
Use Form 8958, Allocation of Tax
Amounts Between Certain Individuals
in Community Property States, to
figure the portion of the income
allocated to you. Attach your
completed Form 8958 to your tax
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
1040-NR. 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 of residence (as defined
under the treaty) and the United

States has set a lower rate that
applies to you. Report this income on
Schedule NEC on page 4 of Form
1040-NR. Pub. 519 describes this
income in greater detail.
Note. Use line 58 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 1040-NR and
line 22 on page 1.
Virtual currency. If, in 2019, you
engaged in a transaction involving
virtual currency, you may have
income reportable on Form 1040-NR.
A transaction involving virtual
currency includes:
• The receipt or transfer of virtual
currency for free (without providing
any consideration), including from an
air-drop or following a hard fork;
• An exchange of virtual currency for
goods or services;
• A sale of virtual currency; and
• An exchange of virtual currency for
other property, including for another
virtual currency.
If you disposed of any virtual
currency that was held as a capital
asset, use Form 8949 to figure your
capital gain or loss and report it on
Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
If you received any virtual currency
as compensation for services or
disposed of any virtual currency that
you held for sale to customers in a
U.S. trade or business, you must
report the income as you would report
other income of the same type (for
example, Form W-2 wages, or
inventory or services from
Schedule C).
Income from a sharing economy
activity. If you use one of the many
online platforms available to provide
goods and services, you may be
involved in what is known as the
sharing economy. If you receive
income from a sharing economy
activity, it is generally taxable even if
you do not receive a Form
1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income;
Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement;
or some other income statement. To
learn more about this income, go to
IRS.gov/Sharing.

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
or 1040-SR) and Form 1040-NR,
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.
You do not need to make an

TIP election to treat gain from the

disposition of a U.S. real
property interest as effectively
connected income. Dispositions of
U.S. real property interests are
automatically treated as effectively
connected income. See Dispositions
of U.S. Real Property Interests,
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.
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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.
Note. Once made, the section 871
election will remain in effect until
revoked with the consent of the
Commissioner. A new section 871
election may not be made until after
the 5th year in which the revocation
occurs.

Foreign Income Taxed by the
United States

You may be required to report some
income from foreign sources on your
U.S. return if the income 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 chapter 4 of 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.

For more information on the
expatriation tax provisions, see
Expatriation Tax in chapter 4 of Pub.
519; the Instructions for Form 8854;

after June 16, 2008), 2009-45 I.R.B.
598, available at IRS.gov/irb/
2009-45_IRB/ar10.html.

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

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

security number (SSN), later, for how
to contact the SSA.
Death of a taxpayer. See Death of a
Taxpayer under General Information,
later.

Identifying Number

An incorrect or missing identifying
number can increase your tax, reduce
your refund, or delay your refund.
Social security number (SSN). If
you are an individual, in most cases
you are required to enter your SSN. If
you do not have an SSN but are
eligible to get one, you should apply
for it. Get Form SS-5, Application for a
Social Security Card, online at
SSA.gov/ssnumber, from your local
Social Security Administration (SSA)
office, or by calling the SSA at
800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778).
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 must also show your
Form I-20. If you are a J-1 exchange
visitor, you must also 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, 1040-NR, and
1099 agree with your social security
card. If they do not, certain deductions
and credits on your Form 1040-NR
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 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 800-772-1213 (TTY
800-325-0778).
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 more information, 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 about 7 weeks to get an
ITIN.
Some ITINs must be renewed. If
you haven't used your ITIN on a
federal tax return at least once in the
last 3 years, or if your ITIN has the
middle digits 83, 84, 85, 86, or 87 (for
example, 9NN-83-NNNN), it expired
at the end of 2019 and must be
renewed if you need to file a federal
tax return in 2020. You don't need to
renew your ITIN if you don't need to
file a federal tax return. You can find
more information at IRS.gov/ITIN.
ITINs with middle digits 70

TIP through 82 have expired and

must also be renewed if you
need to file a tax return in 2020 and
haven't already renewed the ITIN.

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 you receive an SSN after
previously using an ITIN, stop using
your ITIN. Use your SSN instead. Visit
a local IRS office or write a letter to
the IRS explaining that you now have
an SSN and want all your tax records
combined under your SSN. Details
about what to include with the letter
and where to mail it are at IRS.gov/
ITINinfo.
Employer identification number
(EIN). If you are filing Form 1040-NR
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. For details on how to get an EIN,
see Form SS-4, Application for
Employer Identification Number, and
its instructions, which are available at
IRS.gov. Enter "SS-4" in the search
box. For more details, see IRS.gov/
Businesses/Small-Businesses-SelfEmployed/How-To-Apply-for-an-EIN.

main home for more than half of the
part of the year he or she was alive in
2019.
5. You could have claimed the
child as a dependent or could claim
the child except that the child's other

claim as a dependent or could claim
as a dependent except that, for 2019:
a. The child had gross income of
$4,200 or more,
b. The child filed a joint return, or
c. You could be claimed as a
dependent on someone else's return.
If the child is not claimed as your

Canada, Mexico, and South Korea,
and students or business apprentices
from India who are eligible for the
benefits of Article 21(2) of the United
States-India Income Tax Treaty may
have a qualifying dependent on line 7.
You will need to complete the
appropriate item A or B on
Schedule OI to identify your status as
a U.S. national or your residency.
You do not need to list a
qualifying dependent if your
CAUTION qualifying dependent does not
qualify you for any benefit.

Line 7—Dependents. If you have
more than four dependents, include a

In general, a dependent is a
qualifying child or a qualifying
relative. Three exceptions apply.
• An individual who is a dependent of
a taxpayer is treated as having no
dependents.

is not a dependent if the individual
files a joint return, unless the joint
-15-

return is filed only to claim a refund of
estimated or withheld taxes.
• An individual claimed as a
dependent must be a citizen, national,
or resident of the United States, or a
resident of Canada or Mexico.

For special rules and
additional information in
CAUTION applying the definitions of a
qualifying child and qualifying relative,
see Dependents in Pub. 501.

Children who did not live with
you due to divorce or separation.
If you were a U.S. national or a
resident of Canada or Mexico and are
claiming a child who did not live with
you as a dependent under the special
rule for children of divorced or
separated parents or parents who
lived apart during the last 6 months of
the year, include with your return a
copy of the custodial parent's signed
release of claim to exemption. The
release may be on Form 8332 or may
be a substantially similar statement
whose only purpose is to release a
claim to exemption for the child. The
release must be unconditional.
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

year.

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

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.
Line 7, column (2). You must
enter each dependent's identifying
number (SSN, ITIN, or ATIN).
Otherwise, at the time we process
your return, we may reduce or
disallow tax benefits (such as the
credit for other dependents) based on
the person's status as your
dependent.
For the child tax credit, your child
must have the required SSN. The
required SSN is one that is valid for
employment and that is issued by the

Social Security Administration (SSA)
before the due date of your 2019
return (including extensions). If "Not
Valid for Employment" is printed on
the social security card and your
child's immigration status has
changed so that your child is now a
U.S. citizen or permanent resident,
ask the SSA for a new social security
card without the legend. However, if
"Valid for Work Only With DHS
Authorization" is printed on your
child’s social security card, your child
has the required SSN only as long as
the DHS authorization is valid.
For the credit for other dependents,
your dependent must have an SSN,
ITIN, or ATIN issued on or before the
due date of your 2019 return
(including extensions). If the person
has not been issued an SSN, ITIN, or
ATIN by this date, you cannot use the
person to claim the credit for other
dependents on either your original or
amended 2019 tax return. If you apply
for the ITIN or ATIN on or before the
due date of your 2019 return
(including extensions) and the IRS
issues the ITIN or ATIN for the person
as a result of the application, the IRS
will consider the ITIN or ATIN as
issued on or before the due date of
your 2019 return.
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 2019 and you do not have
an identifying number for the child,
enter “Died” in column (2) and attach
a copy of the child's birth certificate,
death certificate, or hospital records.
The document must show the child
was born alive.
If you did not have an SSN (or ITIN)
issued on or before the due date of
your 2019 return (including
extensions), you cannot claim the
child tax credit or credit for other
dependents on either your original or
an amended 2019 return. If you apply
for an ITIN on or before the due date
of your 2019 return (including
extensions) and the IRS issues you an
ITIN as a result of the application, the
IRS will consider your ITIN as issued
on or before the due date of your 2019

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

credit. 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 49 and the additional
child tax credit on line 64.
Qualifying child for child tax
credit. A qualifying child for purposes
of the child tax credit is a qualifying
child for purposes of dependency
under Qualifying child earlier, except
that the child must meet the following
requirements.
• The child was under age 17 at the
end of 2019.
• The child was a U.S. citizen, a U.S.
national, or a U.S. resident alien.
You and the child must also
meet the taxpayer

relative (defined earlier) and a U.S.
citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident
alien.
You and the dependent must
also meet the taxpayer
CAUTION identification number
requirements for the credit for other
dependents in Line 7, column (2),
earlier.

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
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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.
If you are entering amounts that
include cents, make sure to include
the decimal point. There is no cents
column on the form.

Income Effectively
Connected With U.S. Trade
or Business
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.
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. See chapter 4
of Pub. 519.

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.
Amounts exempt under a treaty.
Wages, salaries, tips, etc. that you
claim are exempt from U.S. tax under
an income tax treaty should not be
reported on line 8. Instead, include
these amounts on line 22 and
complete item L of Schedule OI on
page 5 of Form 1040-NR. Generally, if
you submitted a properly completed
Form 8233, Exemption From
Withholding on Compensation for
Independent (and Certain Dependent)
Personal Services of a Nonresident
Alien Individual, to claim an exemption
from withholding based on a treaty,
your employer would not have
withheld tax on the exempt amount
and would have reported the exempt
amount on a Form 1042-S and not in
box 1 of Form W-2. However, if you
did not submit a Form 8233 to your
employer or if you submitted a Form
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

8233 to your employer but your
employer withheld tax on the exempt
amount because it could not readily
determine your eligibility for the
exemption, you can claim the
exemption on Form 1040-NR by
reducing your line 8 wages by the
exempt amount. You will need to
complete item L on Schedule OI and
attach a statement to your return
containing all information that
otherwise would have been required
on a Form 8233 to explain your
eligibility for the exemption. See the
examples next.
Example 1. Anna is a citizen of
France who came to the United States
on an F-1 visa in 2018 for the primary
purpose of studying at an accredited
university. In 2019, Anna completed a
paid summer internship with a U.S.
company as part of her optional
practical training. Anna earned $8,000
from this internship. Under Article 21
(Students and Trainees) of the
income tax treaty with France, Anna
can exempt up to $5,000 of personal
services income from U.S. tax. Anna
submitted a valid Form 8233 to her
employer to claim an exemption from
withholding for the portion of her
wages that is exempt under the treaty.
She received a Form 1042-S from her
employer showing the $5,000 exempt
amount and a Form W-2 showing
$3,000 of wages in box 1. On her
2019 Form 1040-NR, Anna should
report $3,000 on line 8, include
$5,000 on line 22, and complete item
L on Schedule OI. Anna should attach
both the Form W-2 and the Form
1042-S to her return.
Example 2. The facts are the
same as above except that Anna did
not realize she was eligible for a
$5,000 exemption when she began
work and did not submit a Form 8233
to her employer claiming the
exemption amount. All of Anna's
wages from the internship were
withheld upon and reported in box 1
on her Form W-2. On her Form
1040-NR, Anna should report $3,000
on line 8, include $5,000 on line 22,
and complete item L on Schedule OI.
Anna should attach the Form W-2 to
her Form 1040-NR. She should also
attach a statement to her Form
1040-NR containing all information
that otherwise would have been
required on a Form 8233 to justify the
exemption claimed.
-17-

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) is generally 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 outside 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 is
generally 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 2019, 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 1040-NR
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 outside 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.
Other types of income. The
following types of income must also
be included in the total on line 8.
• All wages received as a household
employee. An employer is not
required to provide a Form W-2 to you
if he or she paid you wages of less
than $2,100 in 2019. If you received
wages as a household employee and
you did not receive a Form W-2
because an employer paid you less
than $2,100 in 2019, enter “HSH” and
the amount not reported to you on a
Form W-2 on the dotted line next to
line 8. For information on employment
taxes for household employees, see
Tax Topic 756 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics.
• 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 56, later.

• Dependent care benefits, which
should be shown in box 10 of your
Form(s) W-2. But first complete Form
2441, Child and Dependent Care
Expenses, 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, Qualified Adoption Expenses,
to find out if you can exclude part or all
of the benefits. You may also be able
to exclude amounts if you adopted a
child with special needs and the
adoption became final in 2019.
• Excess elective 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 2019 under all plans
was more than $19,000 (excluding
catch-up contributions as explained
below), include the excess on line 8.
This limit is (a) $13,000 if you have
only SIMPLE plans, or (b) $22,000 for
section 403(b) plans if you qualify for
the 15-year rule in chapter 4 of Pub.
571. Although designated Roth
contributions are subject to this limit,
do not include the excess attributable
to such contributions on line 8. They
are already 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 2019, your employer may have
allowed an additional deferral
(catch-up contributions) of up to
$6,000 ($3,000 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,
Form 1099-R (other than payments
from an IRA*) or 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
elective deferrals or other 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.
* This includes a Roth, SEP, or
SIMPLE IRA.
• Wages from Form 8919, line 6.
Missing or incorrect Form W-2.
Your employer is required to provide
or send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2020. If you do not
-18-

receive it by early February, use Tax
Topic 154 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics to
find out what to do. Even if you do not
get a Form W-2, you must still 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.
For more details about reporting
taxable interest, including market
discount on bonds and adjustments
for amortizable bond premium or
acquisition premium, see Pub. 550.
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 2019 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
2019 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 (including any tax-exempt
original issue discount (OID)), report
the amount on line 9b. In general, your
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

stated tax-exempt interest should be
shown in box 8 of Form 1099-INT or,
for a tax-exempt OID bond, in box 2 of
Form 1099-OID, and your tax-exempt
OID should be shown in box 11 of
Form 1099-OID. Enter the total on
line 9b. Also include on line 9b any
exempt-interest dividends from a
mutual fund or other regulated
investment company. This amount
should be shown in box 10 of Form
1099-DIV. If you acquired a
tax-exempt bond at a premium, there
may be an amount in box 13 of Form
1099-INT or box 10 of Form 1099-OID
if you had bond premium amortization
allocable to interest paid on a
tax-exempt covered security. Reduce
the amount otherwise reportable on
line 9b by the amount, if any, shown in
box 13 of Form 1099-INT or box 10 of
Form 1099-OID. Also, if you acquired
a tax-exempt OID bond at an
acquisition premium, only report the
net amount of tax-exempt OID on
line 9b (that is, the excess of the
tax-exempt OID for the year over the
amortized acquisition premium for the
year). See Pub. 550 for more
information about OID, bond
premium, and acquisition premium.
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.
If you have interest income,
you should report this income
CAUTION on Form 1040-NR rather than
Form 1040-NR-EZ.

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
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

cost (or other basis). They will not be
taxed until you recover your cost (or
other basis). You must reduce your
cost (or other basis) by these
distributions. After you get back all of
your cost (or other basis), you must
report these distributions as capital
gains on Form 8949.
See chapter 1 of 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 are also
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 chapter 1 of 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 the following.
• Dividends you received as a
nominee. See chapter 1 of 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 chapter 1 of 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
-19-

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 chapter 1 of
Pub. 550 for more details. Preferred
dividends attributable to periods
totaling less than 367 days are subject
to the 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.
• Dividends from a corporation which
first became a surrogate foreign
corporation after December 22, 2017,
other than a foreign corporation which
is treated as a domestic corporation
under section 7874(b).
Example 1. You bought 5,000
shares of XYZ Corp. common stock
on July 8, 2019. XYZ Corp. paid a
cash dividend of 10 cents a share.
The ex-dividend date was July 16,
2019. 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, 2019.
You held your shares of XYZ Corp. for
only 34 days of the 121-day period
(from July 9, 2019, through August 11,
2019). The 121-day period began on
May 17, 2019 (60 days before the
ex-dividend date), and ended on
September 14, 2019. You have no
qualified dividends from XYZ Corp.
because you held the XYZ Corp.,
stock for less than 61 days.
Example 2. The facts are the
same as in Example 1 except that you
bought the stock on July 15, 2019 (the
day before the ex-dividend date), and
you sold the stock on September 16,
2019. You held the stock for 63 days
(from July 16, 2019, through
September 16, 2019). The $500 of
qualified dividends shown in box 1b of
Form 1099-DIV are all qualified
dividends because you held the stock
for 61 days of the 121-day period
(from July 16, 2019, through
September 14, 2019).

Example 3. You bought 10,000
shares of ABC Mutual Fund common
stock on July 8, 2019. ABC Mutual
Fund paid a cash dividend of 10 cents
a share. The ex-dividend date was
July 16, 2019. The ABC Mutual Fund
advises you that the part of the
dividend eligible to be treated as
qualified dividends equals 2 cents a
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,
2019. You have no qualified dividends
from ABC Mutual Fund because you
held the ABC Mutual Fund stock for
less than 61 days.
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 2018, you may
be required to report this amount. If
you did not receive a Form 1099-G,
check with the government agency
that made the payments to you. Your
2019 Form 1099-G may have been
made available to you only in an
electronic format, and you will need to
get instructions from the agency to
retrieve this document. Report any
taxable refund you received even if
you did not receive Form 1099-G.
If you chose to apply part or all of
the refund to your 2019 estimated
state or local income tax, the amount
applied is treated as received in 2019.
For details on how to figure the
amount you must report as income,
see Itemized Deduction Recoveries in
Pub. 525, Taxable and Nontaxable
Income.
None of your refund is taxable

TIP if, in the year you paid the tax,

you did not itemize
deductions on Schedule A. Currently,
this exception only applies to students
or business apprentices from India
eligible for the benefits of Article 21(2)
of the United States-India Income Tax
Treaty. If you were a student or
business apprentice from India
eligible for the benefits of Article 21(2)
of the United States-India Income Tax

Treaty in 2018 and you claimed the
standard deduction on your 2018 tax
return, none of your refund of 2018
taxes is taxable. See Students and
business apprentices from India under
Itemized Deductions in chapter 5 of
Pub. 519. If none of your refund is
taxable, leave line 11 blank.
Line 12—Scholarship and fellowship grants. If you received a
scholarship or fellowship, part or all of
it may be taxable. 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
scholarship or fellowship.
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.
If the grant was reported on
Form(s) 1042-S, you must generally
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
1040-NR.
Attach any Form(s) 1042-S you
received from the college or
institution.
For more information about
scholarships and fellowships in
general, see chapter 1 of 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.
You are not required to perform any
services, such as teaching, research,
or other services, to get the
scholarship. The total amounts you
received from ABC University during
2019 are as follows.

-20-

Tuition and
fees
Books,
supplies, and
equipment
Room and
board

$25,000
1,000
9,000
$35,000

The Form 1042-S you received from
ABC University for 2019 shows
$9,000 in box 2 and $1,260 (14% of
$9,000) in box 10.
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 1040-NR,
do the following.
• 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 1040-NR), you cannot
exclude any of the section 117
amounts on line 31.
• Include on line 62d the $1,260
shown in box 10 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 for income tax purposes
immediately before arriving in the
United States to attend ABC
University. Also, assume that, under
the terms of the tax treaty, you are
present in the United States only
temporarily to finish your degree, and
all of your scholarship income is
exempt from tax because ABC
University is a nonprofit educational
organization.
Note. Under some treaties,
scholarship or fellowship grant income
is not exempt from tax if the income is
received in exchange for the
performance of services, such as
teaching, research, or other services.
Also, many tax treaties do not permit
an exemption from tax on scholarship
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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
1040-NR. See the instructions for item
L of Schedule OI, later, for details.
When completing Form 1040-NR,
do the following.
• 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 62d any withholding
shown in box 10 of Form 1042-S.
• Provide all the required information
in item L of Schedule OI, on page 5 of
Form 1040-NR.
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 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Include any income you received
as a dealer in stocks, securities, and
commodities through your U.S. office
or dependent agent. 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 or 1040-SR).
But see the Exceptions below.
Gains and losses from disposing of
U.S. real property interests are
reported on Schedule D (Form 1040
or 1040-SR) and included on line 14
of Form 1040-NR. See Dispositions of
U.S. Real Property Interests, earlier.
Exception 1. You do not have to
file Form 8949 or Schedule D (Form
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

1040 or 1040-SR) if you are not
deferring any capital gain by investing
in a qualified opportunity zone fund
and both of the following apply.
However, you may need to file Form
8997 to report the investment.
1. You have no capital losses, and
your only capital gains are capital gain
distributions from Form(s) 1099-DIV,
box 2a (or substitute statement(s)).
2. None of the Form(s) 1099-DIV
(or substitute statement(s)) 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 or 1040-SR),
but generally do not have to file Form
8949, if you are not deferring any
capital gain by investing in a qualified
opportunity zone fund, Exception 1
does not apply, and your only capital
gains and losses are:
• Capital gain distributions;
• A capital loss carryover from 2018;
• A gain from Form 2439 or 6252 or
Part I of Form 4797;
• A gain or loss from Form 4684,
6781, or 8824;
• A gain or loss from a partnership, S
corporation, estate, or trust; or
• Gains and losses from transactions
for which you received a Form 1099-B
(or substitute statement) that shows
basis was reported to the IRS and for
which you do not need to make any
adjustments in column (g) of Form
8949 or enter any codes in column (f)
of Form 8949.
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 or

1040-SR), use the Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet in the line 42 instructions
to figure your tax.

Qualified opportunity
investment. If you deferred a capital
gain into a qualified opportunity fund
(QOF), you must file your return with
Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR),
Form 8949, and Form 8997 attached.
And you will need to file Form 8997
annually until you dispose of the
investment. See the Form 8997
instructions.
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 IRA before
income tax or other deductions were
withheld. This amount should be
shown in box 1 of Form 1099-R.
Special rules may apply if you

TIP received a distribution from

your IRA and your main home
was in one of the federally declared
disaster areas eligible for these
special rules at any time during the
incident period. Special rules may
also apply if you received a
distribution to buy or construct a main
home in one of the federally declared
disaster areas eligible for these
special rules, but that home wasn't
bought or constructed because of the
disaster. See Pub. 590-B for details.
You should receive a Form 1099-R
showing the total amount of any
distribution from your 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, do not include the
distribution on line 16a and include
the total distribution (from box 1 of
Form 1099-R) on line 16b.
Exception 1. Include the total
distribution on line 16a if you rolled
over part or all of the distribution from
one:
• Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, or
• IRA (other than a Roth IRA) to a
qualified plan or another IRA (other
than a Roth IRA).

Also, enter “Rollover” next to
line 16b. If the total distribution was
rolled over, do not include any portion
of the distribution on line 16b. If the
total distribution was not rolled over,
include the part not rolled over on
line 16b unless Exception 2 applies to
the part not rolled over. Generally, a
rollover must be made within 60 days
after the day you received the
distribution. For more details on
rollovers, see Can You Move
Retirement Plan Assets? in chapter 1
of Pub. 590-A, Contributions to
Individual Retirement Arrangements
(IRAs); see also Pub. 590-B.
If you rolled over the distribution
into a qualified plan or you made the
rollover in 2020, include a statement
explaining what you did.
Exception 2. If any of the
following apply, include the total
distribution on line 16a and see Form
8606 and its instructions to figure the
amount to include 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 2019 or an earlier year. If you
made nondeductible contributions to
these IRAs for 2019, also see How
Much Can You Deduct? in chapter 1
of Pub. 590-A.
2. You received a distribution from
a Roth IRA. But if either (a) or (b)
below applies, do not include any of
the distribution 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 2014 or an earlier
year.
b. Distribution code Q is shown in
box 7 of Form 1099-R.
3. You converted part or all of a
traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a
Roth IRA in 2019.
4. You had a 2018 or 2019 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 2019.
6. You recharacterized part or all
of a contribution to a Roth IRA as a

contribution to another type of IRA, or
vice versa.
Exception 3. If all or part of the
distribution is a qualified charitable
distribution (QCD), include the total
distribution on line 16a. If the total
amount distributed is a QCD, do not
include any of the distribution on
line 16b. If only part of the distribution
is a QCD, include 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.
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. See Pub. 590-A for details.
You cannot claim a charitable
contribution deduction for any
CAUTION QCD not included in your
income.

Exception 4. An HFD is a health
savings account (HSA) funding
distribution. If all or part of the
distribution is an HFD, include the
total distribution on line 16a. If the
total amount distributed is an HFD
and you elect to exclude it from
income, do not include any of the
distribution on line 16b. If only part of
the distribution is an HFD and you
elect to exclude that part from income,
include 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 can generally 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
-22-

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.
More than one distribution. If
you received more than one
distribution, figure the taxable amount
of each distribution and include the
total of the taxable amounts on
line 16b. Include the total amount of
those distributions on line 16a.
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, 1948, and received less
than the minimum required
distribution from your traditional, SEP,
and SIMPLE IRAs. See the
instructions for line 57, later, for
details.

More information. For more
information about IRAs, see Pub.
590-A and Pub. 590-B.
Lines 17a and 17b—Pensions and
annuities. 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.
Special rules may apply if you

TIP received a distribution from a

retirement plan and your main

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

home was in one of the federally
declared disaster areas eligible for
these special rules at any time during
the incident period. Special rules may
also apply if you received a
distribution to buy or construct a main
home in one of the federally declared
disaster areas eligible for these
special rules, but that home wasn't
bought or constructed because of the
disaster. See Pub. 575 for details.
Include 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 income not
effectively connected with the conduct
of a U.S. trade or business is subject
to 30% withholding (unless reduced or
eliminated by treaty). Include this not
effectively connected 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 elective
deferrals or other 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 1040-NR if

any federal income tax was
withheld.
Effectively connected pension
distributions. If you performed
services in the United States while
you were a nonresident alien, your
income is generally effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or
business. (See section 864 for details
and exceptions.)
If you worked in the United States
after December 31, 1986, the part of
each pension distribution that is
attributable to the services you
performed after 1986 is income that is
effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business.

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 include 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 2 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 2019.
If your pension or annuity is fully
taxable, include the total pension or
annuity payments on line 17b; do not
include any portion of the payments
on line 17a.
If you received a Form
RRB-1099-R, see General
Information in Pub. 575 to find out
how to report your benefits.

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

Partially taxable pensions and
annuities. Include the total pension
or annuity payments (from box 1 of
Form 1099-R and box 2 of Form
1042-S) on line 17a. If your Form
1042-S or Form 1099-R does not
show the taxable amount, you must
figure the taxable amount and include
that amount on line 17b. If your
annuity is paid under a qualified plan
and your annuity starting date was
after July 1, 1986, see Simplified
Method, later.
If your annuity is paid under a
nonqualified plan or paid under a

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

-23-

qualified plan and your annuity
starting date was before July 2, 1986,
you must generally use the General
Rule. If you are required to use the
General Rule, you can ask the IRS to
figure the taxable part for a $1,000
fee. For more information about the
General Rule, see Pub. 939.
If your Form 1099-R shows a
taxable amount, you can include that
amount on line 17b. But you may be
able to report a lower taxable amount
by using the General Rule or the
Simplified Method. If you received
Form 1042-S, you must figure the
taxable part by using the General Rule
or the Simplified Method.
Simplified Method. You must use
the Simplified Method if (a) your
annuity starting date (defined 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 5. See Taxation of Periodic
Payments in Pub. 575 for the
definition of guaranteed payments.
If you must use the Simplified
Method, complete the Simplified
Method Worksheet to figure the
taxable part of your pension or
annuity. See Taxation of Periodic
Payments in 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.
See Survivors and Beneficiaries in
Pub. 575 if you are the beneficiary of
an employee who died, or if there is
more than one beneficiary and you

need 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 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 rollover to a Roth IRA or a
designated Roth account is generally
not a tax-free distribution. Use lines
17a and 17b to report a qualified
rollover, including a direct rollover,
from one qualified employer's plan to
another or to an IRA or SEP.
Enter on line 17a the distribution
from box 1 of Form 1099-R or box 2 of
Form 1042-S. From that result,
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 rollover. Include the
remaining amount on line 17b. If the
remaining amount is zero and you
have no other distribution (pension,
annuity, or IRA) to report on line 17b,
enter -0- on line 17b. Also, enter
“Rollover” next to line 17b.
See Rollovers in Pub. 575 for more
details, including special rules that
apply to rollovers from designated
Roth accounts, partial rollovers of
property, and distributions under
qualified domestic relations orders.
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 rollover. For details, see the
instructions for line 57, later.
Include the total distribution on
line 17a and the taxable part on
line 17b. For details, see Taxation of
Nonperiodic Payments in Pub. 575.

If you or the plan participant

TIP was born before January 2,

1936, you could pay less tax
on the distribution. 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 or 1040-SR)
to figure the amount to enter on
line 18 and attach Schedule E (Form
1040 or 1040-SR) to your return. For
more information, see the Instructions
for Schedule E (Form 1040 or
1040-SR).
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, report rental
income or loss on line 18. See Income
You Can Elect To Treat as Effectively
Connected With a U.S. Trade or
Business, earlier, for more details on
how to make the election. If you have
not made or 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
or 1040-SR) to figure the amount to
enter on line 19 and attach
Schedule F (Form 1040 or 1040-SR)
to your return. For more information,
see the Instructions for Schedule F
(Form 1040 or 1040-SR). Also see
Pub. 225, Farmer's Tax Guide, for 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 2019. Report this amount on
line 20. However, if you made
contributions to a governmental
unemployment compensation
program or to a governmental paid
family leave program and you are not
itemizing deductions, reduce the
amount you report on line 20 by those
contributions. If you are itemizing
deductions, see the Instructions on
Form 1099-G.
-24-

If you received an overpayment of
unemployment compensation in 2019
and you repaid any of it in 2019,
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
2019, you repaid more than $3,000 of
unemployment compensation that you
included in gross income in an earlier
year, 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) in the case of distributions from a
QTP, they are more than the qualified
higher education expenses of the
designated beneficiary in 2019 or, in
the case of distributions from an ESA,
they are more than the qualified
education expenses of the designated
beneficiary in 2019; and (b) they were
not included in a qualified rollover.
See chapters 7 and 8 in Pub. 970.
Nontaxable distributions from these
accounts, including rollovers, do not
have to be reported on Form
1040-NR.
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 2019, and (b) they were not
included in a qualified rollover. See
Pub. 969.

self-employed and owe
self-employment tax, fill in
Schedule SE (Form 1040 or 1040-SR)
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 can also cover your child
who was under age 27 at the end of
2019, even if the child was not your
dependent. A child includes your son,
daughter, stepchild, adopted child, or
foster child (defined in the line 7
instructions).
One of the following statements
must be true.
• You were self-employed and had a
net profit for the year reported on
Schedule C or F.
• 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 or
1040-SR).
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
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

Schedule C or F (Form 1040 or
1040-SR), 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 2019, 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
2019, do not use amounts paid for
coverage for that month to figure the
deduction.
A qualified small employer
health reimbursement
CAUTION arrangement (QSEHRA) is
considered to be a subsidized health
plan maintained by an employer.

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.
Medicare premiums you voluntarily
pay to obtain insurance in your name
that is similar to qualifying private
health insurance can be used to figure
the deduction.
For more details, see Pub. 535.
If you qualify to take the deduction,
use the Self-Employed Health
Insurance Deduction Worksheet to
figure the amount you can deduct.
Exceptions. Use Worksheet 6-A
in chapter 6 of Pub. 535 instead of the
Self-Employed Health Insurance
Deduction Worksheet in these
instructions to figure your deduction if
either of the following applies.

-27-

• 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.
Use Pub. 974 instead of the
worksheet in these instructions if the
insurance plan was considered to be
established under your business and
was obtained through the
Marketplace, and advance payments
of the premium tax credit were made
or you are claiming the premium tax
credit.
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 contributions to a traditional
individual retirement arrangement
(IRA) for 2019, 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 How
Much Can You Deduct? in chapter 1
of Pub. 590-A for more details.
A statement should be sent to you
by June 1, 2020, that shows all
contributions to your traditional IRA for
2019.
If you made any

TIP nondeductible contributions to

a traditional IRA for 2019, you
must report them on Form 8606.

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 can still make contributions to an
IRA even if you cannot deduct them.
In any case, the income earned on
your IRA contributions is not taxed
until it is paid to you.
The “Retirement plan” box in
box 13 of Form W-2 should be
checked if you were covered by a plan
at work even if you were not vested in
the plan. You are also covered by a

had a SEP, SIMPLE, or qualified
retirement plan.
If you were covered by a retirement
plan and you file Form 8815 or you
exclude employer-provided adoption
benefits, see How Much Can You
Deduct? in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A to

income) to figure your tax.
Form 8615. Form 8615 must be filed
for a child (including a nonresident
alien child) if they meet all of the
following conditions.
1. They had more than $2,200 of
unearned 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.
2. They are required to file a tax
return.
3. They were either:
a. Under age 18 at the end of
2019,
b. Age 18 at the end of 2019 and
did not have earned income that was
more than half of their support, or
c. A full-time student at least age
19 but under age 24 at the end of

was alive at the end of 2019, do not
use Form 8615 to figure the child’s
tax.
A child born on January 1, 2002, is
considered to be age 18 at the end of
2019; a child born on January 1,
2001, is considered to be age 19 at
the end of 2019; a child born on
January 1, 1996, is considered to be
age 24 at the end of 2019.
Your parent may be able to

distributions, may be higher if this
election is made. For more details,
see Form 8814, Parents' Election To
Report Child's Interest and Dividends.
Schedule D Tax Worksheet. If you
have to file Schedule D (Form 1040 or
1040-SR), 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
1040-NR, line 42.

1040 or 1040-SR) and Schedule D,
lines 15 and 16, are both more than
zero.
Schedule J (Form 1040 or
1040-SR). 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 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Line 43—Alternative minimum tax.
The tax law gives special treatment to
some kinds of income and allows
special deductions and credits for
some kinds of expenses. If you benefit
from these provisions, you may have
to pay a minimum amount of tax
through the alternative minimum tax.
This tax is figured on Form 6251 for
individuals. If you are filing for an
estate or trust, see Schedule I (Form
1041) and its instructions to find out if
you owe this tax.

your 2018 earned income to figure
your additional child tax credit, enter
"PYEI" and the amount of your 2018
earned income on the dotted line next
to line 64. For more information, see
the Instructions for Schedule 8812.
You may be able to use your

your additional child tax credit
if (a) your 2018 earned income is
more than your 2019 earned income,
and (b) your main home was located
in one of the federally declared
disaster areas eligible for this relief at
any time during the incident period.
For details, see the Instructions for
Form 8812.
This credit is for certain people who
have at least one qualifying child for
the child tax credit (as defined in the
instructions for line 7, column (4),
child tax credit). The additional child
tax credit may give you a refund even
if you do not owe any tax or did not
have any tax withheld.
To qualify for the additional child
tax credit (ACTC), the child must be a
U.S citizen, U.S. national, or U.S.
resident alien.
To claim the child tax credit,
additional child tax credit, or credit for
other dependents in full, you must be
a U.S. national or a resident of
Canada or Mexico. Residents of
South Korea and India can claim the
credits to the extent described in Pub.
519.
If your qualifying child did not
have an SSN valid for
CAUTION employment issued before the
due date of your 2019 return
(including extensions), you can't claim
the additional child tax credit for that
child on either your original or an
amended 2019 return.

Two Steps To Take the Additional
Child Tax Credit!
Step 1. Be sure you figured the
amount, if any, of your child tax credit
and credit for other dependents. See
the instructions for line 49.
Step 2. Read the TIP at the end of
your Child Tax Credit and Credit for
Other Dependents Worksheet. Use
Schedule 8812 to see if you can take
-42-

the ACTC, but only if you meet the
condition given in that TIP.
Refunds for returns claiming

TIP the additional child tax credit

cannot be issued before
mid-February 2020. This delay
applies to the entire refund, not just
the portion associated with the
additional child tax credit.

Form 8862, who must file. You
must file Form 8862 if your child tax
credit or additional child tax credit for
a year after 2015 was denied or
reduced for any reason other than a
math or clerical error. Attach a
completed Form 8862 to your 2019
return to claim the credit for 2019. Do
not file Form 8862 if you filed Form
8862 for 2018 and the child tax credit
or additional child tax credit was
allowed for that year. See Form 8862
and its instructions for details.
If you take the additional child
tax credit even though you are
CAUTION not eligible and it is
determined that your error is due to
reckless or intentional disregard of the
additional child tax credit rules, you
will not be allowed to take the child tax
credit, the credit for other dependents,
or the additional child tax credit for 2
years even if you are otherwise
eligible to do so. If you take the
additional child tax credit even though
you aren't eligible and it is later
determined that you fraudulently took
the credit, you will not be allowed to
take the child tax credit, the credit for
other dependents, or the additional
child tax credit for 10 years. You may
also have to pay penalties.

Line 65—Net premium tax credit.
You may be eligible to claim the
premium tax credit if you, your
spouse, or a dependent enrolled in
health insurance through the
Marketplace. The premium tax credit
helps pay for this health insurance.
Complete Form 8962 to determine the
amount of your premium tax credit, if
any. If the premium tax credit you can
claim exceeds your advance credit
payments, your net premium tax credit
will be shown on Form 8962, line 26.
Enter that amount, if any, on line 65.
See Pub. 974 and the Instructions for
Form 8962 for more information.
Line 66—Amount paid with request for extension to file. If you
got an automatic extension of time to
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

file Form 1040-NR by filing Form 4868
or by making a payment, enter the
amount of the payment or any amount
you paid with Form 4868. If you paid
by debit or credit card, do not include
on line 66 the convenience fee you
were charged.
Line 67—Excess social security
and tier 1 RRTA tax withheld. If you
had more than one employer for 2019
and total wages of more than
$132,900, too much social security or
tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) tax
may have been withheld. You can
take a credit on this line for the
amount withheld in excess of
$8,239.80. But if any one employer
withheld more than $8,239.80, you
cannot claim the excess on your
return. The employer should adjust
the tax for you. If the employer does
not adjust the overcollection, you can
file a claim for refund using Form 843.
You cannot claim a refund for
excess tier 2 RRTA tax on Form
1040-NR. Instead, use Form 843.
See chapter 3 of Pub. 505 for more
details.
Line 68—Credit for federal tax on
fuels. Enter any credit for federal
excise taxes paid on fuels that are
ultimately used for a nontaxable
purpose (for example, an off-highway
business use). Attach Form 4136.
Line 69—Other payments. Check
the box(es) on line 69 to report any
credit from Form 2439 or 8885.
If you are claiming a credit for
repayment of amounts you included in
your income in an earlier year
because it appeared you had a right
to the income, include the credit on
line 69, check box d, and enter “I.R.C.
1341” in the space next to that box.
See Pub. 525 for details about this
credit.
If you made a tax payment that
does not belong on any other line,
include the payment on line 69. Check
box d and enter “Tax” in the space
next to that box.
If you check more than one box,
enter the total of the line 69 credits
and payments.

state unemployment compensation
debts, child support, spousal support,
or certain federal nontax debts, such
as student loans, all or part of the
overpayment on line 72 may be used
(offset) to pay the past-due amount.
Offsets for federal taxes are made by
the IRS. All other offsets are made by
the Treasury Department's Bureau of
the Fiscal Service. For federal tax
offsets, you will receive a notice from
the IRS. For all other offsets, you will
receive a notice from the Fiscal
Service. To find out if you may have
an offset or if you have any questions
about it, contact the agency to which

Simple. Safe. Secure.
Fast Refunds! Join the eight in 10 taxpayers
who 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 73a 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 73b through 73d (if
you want your refund deposited to
only one account), or
• Check the box on line 73a 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 73a. Draw a
line through the boxes on lines 73b
and 73d. We will send you a check
instead.
Account must be in your name. Do
not request a deposit of any part of
your refund to an account that is not in
your name. Although you may owe
your tax return preparer a fee for
preparing your return, do not have any
part of your refund deposited into the
preparer's account to pay the fee.
The number of refunds that can be
directly deposited to a single account
or prepaid debit card is limited to three
a year. After this limit is reached,
paper checks will be sent instead.
Learn more at IRS.gov/DepositLimit.
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.
• It's proven itself. Nearly 98% of
social security and veterans' benefits

are sent electronically using direct
deposit.

more information on IRA
contributions, see Pub. 590-A.

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 U.S. bank or
other financial institution in the United
States before you request direct
deposit. Make sure your direct deposit
will be accepted.
You must also 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 2019). 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 2019
return during 2020 and do not notify
the trustee or custodian in advance,
the trustee or custodian can assume
the deposit to your IRA is for 2020.
If you designate your deposit to be
for 2019, you must verify that the
deposit was actually made to the
account by the due date of the return
(not counting extensions). If the
deposit is not made by that date, the
deposit is not an IRA contribution for
2019. In that case, you must file an
amended 2019 return and reduce any
IRA deduction and any retirement
savings contributions credit (saver’s
credit) you claimed.

For more information on IRAs, see
Pub. 590-A and Pub. 590-B.

You may be able to contribute
up to $6,000 ($7,000 if age 50
CAUTION or older at the end of 2019) to

contributions exceed these limits, and
the limits may be lower depending on
your compensation and income. For

• 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 an installment agreement is granted,
you will be charged interest and may
be charged a late payment penalty on
the tax not paid by April 15, 2020 (or
June 15, 2020, if you did not receive
wages as an employee subject to U.S.
income tax withholding). You must
also pay a fee. To limit the interest
and penalty charges, pay as much of
the tax as possible when you file or
with your extension request. But
before requesting an installment

agreement, you should consider other
less costly alternatives, such as a
bank loan or credit card payment.

more than zero or you would owe the
penalty even if you did not include
those taxes.

To ask for an installment
agreement, you can apply online or
use Form 9465. To apply online, go to
IRS.gov/OPA.

Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2018 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
2018 return and you were a U.S.
citizen or resident for all of 2018.
2. The total of lines 62a through
62d, 63, 67, and 70 on your 2019
return is at least 100% of the tax
shown on your 2018 return. (But see
Caution, below.) Your estimated tax
payments for 2019 must have been
made on time and for the required
amount.

Extension of time to pay. If
paying the tax when it is due would
cause you an undue hardship, you
can ask for an extension of time to
pay by filing Form 1127, Application
for Extension of Time for Payment of
Tax Due to Undue Hardship, by April
15, 2020 (or June 15, 2020, if you did
not receive wages as an employee

withholding). An extension will
generally not be granted for more than
6 months. You will be charged interest
on the tax not paid by April 15, 2020
(or June 15, 2020, if you did not
receive wages as an employee
subject to U.S. income tax
withholding). You must pay the tax
before the extension runs out.
Penalties and interest will be imposed
until taxes are paid in full. For the
most up-to-date information on Form
1127, go to IRS.gov/Form1127.

Line 76—Estimated Tax Penalty

You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 75 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
2019 Form 1040-NR, line 61, minus
the total of any amounts shown on
lines 64, 65, and 68, and Forms 8828,
4137, 5329 (Parts III through IX only),
8885, and 8919.
Also, subtract from line 61 any:

• Tax on an excess parachute

payment,
• Excise tax on insider stock
compensation of an expatriated
corporation,
• Uncollected social security and
Medicare or RRTA tax on tips or
group-term life insurance, and
• Look-back interest due under
section 167(g) or 460(b).
When figuring the amount on
line 61, include household
employment taxes (line 59a) only if
the total of lines 62a through 62d is
-46-

If your 2018 AGI was over
$150,000 (over $75,000 if you
CAUTION checked filing status box 5 for
2018), item (2) applies only if the total
of lines 62a through 62d, 63, 67, and
70 on your 2019 tax return is at least
110% of the tax shown on your 2018
return. This rule does not apply to
farmers and fishermen.

For most people, the “tax shown on
your 2018 return” is the amount on
your 2018 Form 1040NR, line 61,
minus the total of any amounts shown
on lines 64, 65, and 68 and Forms
8828, 4137, 5329 (Parts III through IX
only), 8885, and 8919.
Also, subtract from line 61 any:
• Tax on an excess parachute
payment,
• Excise tax on insider stock
compensation of an expatriated
corporation,
• Uncollected social security and
Medicare or RRTA tax on tips or
group-term life insurance, and
• Look-back interest due under
section 167(g) or 460(b).
When figuring the amount on
line 61, include household
employment taxes only if the total of
lines 62a through 62d is more than
zero or you would have owed the
estimated tax penalty for 2018 even if
you did not include those taxes.
If the Exception just described
doesn't apply, see the Instructions for
Form 2210 for other situations in
which you may be able to lower your
penalty by filing Form 2210.
Figuring the penalty. If you choose
to figure the penalty yourself, use
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

Form 2210 (or Form 2210-F for
farmers and fishermen).
Enter any penalty on line 76. Add
the penalty to any tax due and enter
the total on line 75.
However, if you have an
overpayment on line 72, subtract the
penalty from the amount you would
otherwise enter on line 73a or 74.
Lines 73a, 74, and 76 must equal
line 72.
If the penalty is more than the
overpayment on line 72, enter -0- on
lines 73a and 74. Then subtract
line 72 from line 76 and enter the
result on line 75.
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 76 blank and the IRS will
figure the penalty and send you a bill.
We will not charge you interest on the
penalty if you pay by the date
specified on the bill. If your income
varied during the year, the annualized
income installment method may
reduce the amount of your penalty.
But you must file Form 2210 because
the IRS cannot figure your penalty
under this method.

Third Party Designee

If you want to allow your preparer, a
friend, a family member, or any other
person you choose to discuss your
2019 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 are also
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

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

• 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 (not counting extensions) for
filing your 2020 tax return.

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

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 and Casualty and Theft
Losses, later.

State and Local Income Taxes
Line 1a. You can deduct state and
local income taxes you paid or that
were withheld from your salary during
2019 on income connected with a
U.S. trade or business. If, during
2019, you received any refunds of, or
credits for, income tax paid in earlier
years, do not subtract them from the
amount you deduct here. Also do not
reduce your deduction by any state or
local income tax refund or credit you
expect to receive for 2019. Instead,
-47-

see the instructions for Form
1040-NR, line 11, earlier.
Safe harbor for certain charitable
contributions made in exchange
for a state or local income tax
credit. If you made a charitable
contribution in exchange for a state or
local income tax credit and your
charitable contribution deduction must
be reduced as a result of receiving or
expecting to receive the tax credit,
you may qualify for a safe harbor that
allows you to treat some or all of the
disallowed charitable contribution as a
payment of state and local income
taxes.
The safe harbor applies if you meet
the following conditions. You made a
cash contribution to an entity
described in section 170(c). In return
for the cash contribution, you received
a state or local income tax credit. You
must reduce your charitable
contribution amount by the amount of
the state or local income tax credit
you receive.
If you meet these conditions, and to
the extent you apply the state or local
income tax credit to this or a prior
year's state or local income tax
liability, you may include this amount
on line 1a. To the extent you apply a
portion of the credit to offset your
state or local income tax liability in a
subsequent year (as permitted by
law), you may treat this amount as
state or local income tax paid in the
year the credit is applied.
For more information about this
safe harbor and examples, see Notice
2019-12 at IRS.gov/pub/irs-drop/
n-19-12.pdf.
Line 1b. The deduction for state and
local taxes is limited to $10,000
($5,000 if box 5 is checked). Enter the
amount which is the smaller of state
and local income taxes from line 1a
and $10,000 ($5,000 if box 5 is
checked) on entry line 1b.

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
can also deduct what you gave to
organizations that work to prevent
cruelty to children or animals. Certain
whaling captains may be able to
deduct expenses paid in 2019 for

Native Alaskan subsistence bowhead
whale hunting activities. See Pub. 526
for details.
To verify an organization's
charitable status, you can do the
following.
• Check with the organization to
which you made the donation. The
organization should be able to provide
you with verification of its charitable
status.
• Use our online search tool at
IRS.gov/TEOS to see if an
organization is eligible to receive
tax-deductible contributions (Pub. 78
data). Click on Tax Exempt
Organization Search.
Examples of U.S. qualified
charitable organizations include the
following.
• Churches, mosques, synagogues,
temples, and other religious
organizations.
• 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 hospitals and medical
research organizations.
• Most nonprofit educational
organizations, such as colleges, but
only if your contribution is not a
substitute for tuition or other
enrollment fees.
• 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 can generally
deduct only the amount that is more
than the value of the benefit. But this
rule does not apply to certain
membership benefits provided in

return for an annual payment of $75 or
less or to certain items or benefits of
token value. For details, see Pub. 526.
Example. You paid $70 to a
charitable organization to attend a
fund-raising dinner and the value of
the dinner was $40. You can deduct
only $30.
Gifts of $250 or more. You can
deduct a gift of $250 or more only if
you have a statement from the
charitable organization showing the
information in (1) and (2) 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 1040-NR, line 35.
2. Your gifts of capital gain
property are more than 20% of the
amount on Form 1040-NR, line 35.
3. You gave gifts of property that
increased in value or gave gifts of the
use of property.
-48-

Amounts you cannot deduct.
• Certain contributions to charitable
organizations, to the extent that you
receive a state or local tax credit in
return for your contribution. See Pub.
526 for more details and exceptions.
See Safe harbor for certain

TIP charitable contributions made

in exchange for a state or
local income tax credit, earlier, under
Line 1a, if your cash contribution is
disallowed because you received or
expected to receive a credit.

• An amount paid to or for the benefit
of a college or university in exchange
for the right to purchase tickets to an
athletic event in the college’s or
university's stadium.
• 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.
• 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,
no deduction is allowed until the entire
interest has been transferred.
• Gifts to individuals and groups that
are operated 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.
• Cost of tuition.

below)), you may also have to get
appraisals of the values of the
donated property.
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

Pub. 561.

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
You may have contributions that you
could not deduct in an earlier year
because they exceeded the limits on
the amount you could deduct. In most
cases, you have 5 years to use
contributions that were limited in an
earlier year. The same limits apply this
year to your carryover amounts as
applied to those amounts in the earlier
year. After applying those limits, enter
the amount of your carryover that you
are allowed to deduct this year. See
Pub. 526 for details.

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 who 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. See Treaty Table 1, Tax
Rates on Income Other Than
Personal Service Income Under
Chapter 3, Internal Revenue Code,
and Income Tax Treaties, available at
IRS.gov/Individuals/InternationalTaxpayers/Tax-Treaty-Tables.
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 (see below for
original issue discount), dividends,
rents, salaries, wages, premiums,
annuities, other compensation, or
certain alimony received (see Caution
below). Other items of income, such
as royalties, may also be subject to
the 30% tax.
2. Gains, other than capital gains,
from the sale or exchange of patents,
copyrights, and other intangible
property.
Alimony pursuant to a divorce
or separation agreement
CAUTION entered into on or before
December 31, 2018, is income on
your 2019 Form 1040-NR unless that
agreement was changed after
December 31, 2018, to expressly
provide that alimony received isn't
included in your income. Alimony
received is not included in your
income if you entered into the divorce
or separation agreement after
December 31, 2018.

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
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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 2019. Include these gains only
if you were in the United States at
least 183 days during 2019.
5. Prizes, awards, and certain
gambling winnings. Proceeds from
lotteries, raffles, etc., are gambling
winnings (see Pub. 519 for

(directly or indirectly) contingent on, or
determined by reference to, the
payment of a dividend from U.S.
sources.
An NPC that is treated as a
specified notional principal contract as
of January 1, 2017, will remain a
specified notional principal contract
after January 1, 2017.
For payments made on or after
January 1, 2017, a notional principal
contract is a simple notional principal
contract under Regulations section
Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

1.871-15(d)(2)(i) or a complex
notional principal contract under
Regulations section 1.871-15(d)(2)(ii).
In 2017 and 2018, a simple notional
principal contract that has a delta of
one with respect to an underlying
security when the notional principal
contract is issued is a specified
notional principal contract. Beginning
in 2019, these rules will also apply to
certain non-delta-one notional
principal contracts. Similar rules apply
to a complex notional principal
contract; however, a complex notional
principal contract is subject to the
substantial equivalence test rather
than the delta test. See Regulations
section 1.871-15(h) for rules relating
to the substantial equivalence test.
For more information on dividend
equivalent payments, see Pub. 519
and Pub. 515. For information on
payments with respect to notional
principal contracts and equity-linked
instruments, see Regulations section
1.871-15.

Form W-8BEN with XYZ to claim the
lower treaty rate, and XYZ correctly
withheld $150. In addition, John has

General Information
How To Avoid Common
Mistakes

Mistakes can delay your refund or
result in notices being sent to you.
One of the best ways to file an
accurate return is to file electronically.
Tax software does the math for you
and will help you avoid mistakes. Join
the eight in 10 taxpayers who get their
refunds faster by using direct deposit
and e-file.
• File your return on a standard size
sheet of paper. Cutting the paper may
cause problems in processing your
return.
• Make sure you entered the correct
name and SSN for each dependent
you claim in the Dependents section
as a qualifying child for the child tax
credit. Check that each dependent's
name and SSN agrees with his or her
social security card. For each
dependent who qualifies for the credit
for other dependents, make sure you
checked the appropriate box in
column (4) of the Dependents section
and that you entered the dependent’s
correct name and identifying number
(SSN, ITIN, or ATIN).
• Check your math, especially for the
child tax credit, total income, itemized
deductions, taxable income, total tax,
federal income tax withheld, and
refund or amount you owe.
• Be sure to add the correct amounts
on Form 1040-NR. Some lines require
you to add across instead of down
and some lines require you to add
amounts from another form or

schedule and then enter the total on
Form 1040-NR.
• 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 1040-NR. 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 or
1040-SR), make sure you checked
the box on line 14.
• Remember to sign and date Form
1040-NR and enter your occupation 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 75 for details.
• Do not file more than one original
return for the same year, even if you
have not gotten your refund or have
not heard from the IRS since you filed.
Filing more than one original return for
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.
• Make sure that if you, your spouse,

Income Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax
Payments for 2020

In general, you do not have to make
estimated tax payments if you expect
that your 2020 Form 1040-NR will
show a tax refund or a tax balance
due of less than $1,000. If your total
estimated tax for 2020 is $1,000 or
more, see Form 1040-ES (NR) and
Pub. 505 for a worksheet you can use
to see if you have to make estimated
tax payments. 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. For more
information, see Pub. 5027, Identity
Theft Information for Taxpayers.
If your SSN has been lost or stolen
or you suspect you are a victim of
tax-related identity theft, visit IRS.gov/
IdentityTheft to learn what steps you
should take.
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
-56-

Advocate helpline at 877-777-4778.
People who are deaf, hard of hearing,
or who have a speech disability and
who have access to TTY/TDD
equipment can call 800-829-4059.
Persons who are deaf, hard of
hearing, or who have a speech
disability can also contact the IRS
through relay services such as the
Federal Relay Service, available at
GSA.gov/fedrelay.
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 may also report misuse of the IRS
name, logo, forms, or other IRS
property to the Treasury Inspector
General for Tax Administration toll
free at 800-366-4484. People who are
deaf, hard of hearing, or have a
speech disability and who have
access to TTY/TDD equipment can
call 800-877-8339. You can forward
suspicious emails to the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) at
[email protected] or report them at
FTC.gov/complaint. You may contact
them at FTC.gov/idtheft or
877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you
have been a victim of identity theft,
see IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.
People who are deaf, hard of hearing,
or have a speech disability and who
have access to TTY/TDD equipment
can call 866-653-4261.

theft” in the search box to learn more
about identity theft and how to reduce
your risk.

Service.” You can send it to:
Bureau of the Fiscal Service
Department G
P.O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, WV
26106-2188

on “How to Make a Contribution to
Reduce the Debt” for information on
how to make this type of gift online.
You may be able to deduct
TIP this gift on your 2020 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
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.

How Do You Amend Your
Tax Return?

File Form 1040-X to change a return
you already filed. Also, use Form
1040-X if you filed Form 1040-NR and
you should have filed Form 1040 or
1040-SR, or vice versa. Generally,
Form 1040-X 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

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

file Form 1040-X 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 Pub. 556 for details.
Use the Where's My Amended
Return? application on IRS.gov to
track the status of your amended
return. It can take up to 3 weeks from
the date you mailed it to show up in
our system.

How Do You Get a Copy of
Your Tax Return
Information?

Tax return transcripts are free and are
generally used to validate income and
tax filing status for mortgage
applications, student and small
business loan applications, and
during tax preparation. To get a free
transcript:
• Visit IRS.gov/Transcript;
• Use Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ;
• If you are in the United States, call
800-908-9946; or
• If you are outside the United States,
call 267-941-1000 (English speaking
only). This number is not toll free.
If you need a copy of your actual
tax return, use Form 4506. There is a
fee for each return requested. See
Form 4506 for the current fee. If your
main home, principal place of
business, or tax records are located in
a federally declared disaster area, this
fee will be waived.

Death of a Taxpayer

If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2019, 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 that
files the return must enter
“Deceased,” the deceased taxpayer's
name, and the date of death across
the top of the return. If this information
is not provided, it may delay the
processing of the return.
The personal representative should
promptly notify all payers of income,
including financial institutions, of the
taxpayer's death. This will ensure the
-57-

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 1040-NR 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, use Tax Topic
356 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics or see Pub.
559, Survivors, Executors, and
Administrators.

Past Due Returns

If you or someone you know needs to
file past due tax returns, use Tax
Topic 153 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics or go
to IRS.gov/Individuals for help in filing
those returns. Send the return to the
address shown in the latest Form
1040-NR instructions. For example, if
you are filing a 2016 return in 2020,
use the address in Where To File,
earlier. However, if you got an IRS
notice, mail the return to the address
in the notice.

Taxpayer Bill of Rights
All taxpayers have fundamental rights they should be aware of when dealing with the IRS. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights,
which the IRS adopted in June of 2014, takes existing rights in the tax code and groups them into the following 10
broad categories, making them easier to understand. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them.
The right to be informed. Taxpayers have the right to know what they need to do to comply with the tax laws. They
are entitled to clear explanations of the laws and IRS procedures in all tax forms, instructions, publications, notices,
and correspondence. They have the right to be informed of IRS decisions about their tax accounts and to receive clear
explanations of the outcomes.
The right to quality service. Taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous, and professional assistance in
their dealings with the IRS, to be spoken to in a way they can easily understand, to receive clear and easily
understandable communications from the IRS, and to speak to a supervisor about inadequate service.
The right to pay no more than the correct amount of tax. Taxpayers have the right to pay only the amount of tax
legally due, including interest and penalties, and to have the IRS apply all tax payments properly.
The right to challenge the IRS's position and be heard. Taxpayers have the right to raise objections and provide
additional documentation in response to formal IRS actions or proposed actions, to expect that the IRS will consider
their timely objections and documentation promptly and fairly, and to receive a response if the IRS does not agree with
their position.
The right to appeal an IRS decision in an independent forum. Taxpayers are entitled to a fair and impartial
administrative appeal of most IRS decisions, including many penalties, and have the right to receive a written
response regarding the Office of Appeals’ decision. Taxpayers generally have the right to take their cases to court.
The right to finality. Taxpayers have the right to know the maximum amount of time they have to challenge the IRS’s
position as well as the maximum amount of time the IRS has to audit a particular tax year or collect a tax debt.
Taxpayers have the right to know when the IRS has finished an audit.
The right to privacy. Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry, examination, or enforcement action will
comply with the law and be no more intrusive than necessary, and will respect all due process rights, including search
and seizure protections, and will provide, where applicable, a collection due process hearing.
The right to confidentiality. Taxpayers have the right to expect that any information they provide to the IRS will not
be disclosed unless authorized by the taxpayer or by law. Taxpayers have the right to expect appropriate action will be
taken against employees, return preparers, and others who wrongfully use or disclose taxpayer return information.
The right to retain representation. Taxpayers have the right to retain an authorized representative of their choice to
represent them in their dealings with the IRS. Taxpayers have the right to seek assistance from a Low Income
Taxpayer Clinic if they cannot afford representation.
The right to a fair and just tax system. Taxpayers have the right to expect the tax system to consider facts and
circumstances that might affect their underlying liabilities, ability to pay, or ability to provide information timely.
Taxpayers have the right to receive assistance from the Taxpayer Advocate Service if they are experiencing financial
difficulty or if the IRS has not resolved their tax issues properly and timely through its normal channels.

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 1040-NR, page 2. Do not
include interest or penalties (other
than the estimated tax penalty) in the
amount you owe on line 75.

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
will also charge you interest on
-60-

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).

Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2019)

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 an explanation
meeting reasonable cause criteria. If
you have an explanation meeting the
criteria for reasonable cause, 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 $435 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 IRS.gov/irb/
2010-17_IRB#NOT-2010-33.
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,
making a false statement, or identity
theft. See chapter 7 of Pub. 519 for
details on some of these penalties.

number. If you fail to provide the
requested information in a timely
manner, you may be charged
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 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 as described in the
Code. For example, we may disclose
your tax information to the
Department of Justice, to enforce
federal civil and criminal tax laws, and
to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths
or possessions to carry out their tax
laws. We may disclose 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.

We Welcome Comments on
Forms

Estimates of Taxpayer Burden

We try to create forms and
instructions that can be easily
understood. Often, this is difficult to
do because our tax laws are very
complex. For some people with
income mostly from wages, filling in
the forms is easy. For others who
have businesses, pensions, stocks,
rental income, or other investments, it
is more difficult.

We welcome your comments about
these instructions and your
suggestions for future editions. You
can send us comments through
IRS.gov/FormComments. Or you can
write to the:
Internal Revenue Service

Don't send your Form 1040-NR to this

earlier.
Although we cannot respond
individually to each comment
received, we do appreciate your
feedback and will consider your

Reported time and cost burdens are
national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a “typical” case.
The estimated average time burden
for all taxpayers filing a Form
1040-NR is 11 hours, with an average
cost of $210 (see the amount in the
table below), per return. This average
includes all related forms and
schedules, across all preparation
methods and taxpayer activities.
Within 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, you can
contact us at either one of the
addresses shown under We Welcome
Comments on Forms, earlier.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Is Here To Help You
What is the Taxpayer Advocate Service?
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service that helps
taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. Their job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and
understand your rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
How can you learn about your taxpayer rights?
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights describes 10 basic rights that all taxpayers have when dealing with the IRS. Go to
TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov to help you understand what these rights mean to you and how they apply. These are your
rights. Know them. Use them.
What can the TAS do for you?
TAS can help you resolve problems that you can’t resolve with the IRS. And their service is free. If you qualify for their
assistance, you will be assigned to one advocate who will work with you throughout the process and will do everything
possible to resolve your issue. TAS can help you if:
• Your problem is causing financial difficulty for you, your family, or your business;
• You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action; or
• You have tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS has not responded by the date
promised.
How can you reach TAS?
TAS has offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Your local advocate’s number is in your local
directory at TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/Contact-Us. You can also call them at 877-777-4778.
How else does the TAS help taxpayers?
TAS works to resolve large-scale problems that affect many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues, please
report it to them at IRS.gov/SAMS.
TAS also has a website, Tax Reform Changes, which shows you how the new tax law may change your future tax filings and
helps you plan for these changes. The information is categorized by tax topic in the order of the IRS Form 1040 or 1040-SR.
Go to TaxChanges.us for more information.
TAS for Tax Professionals
TAS can provide a variety of information for tax professionals, including tax law updates and guidance, TAS programs, and
ways to let TAS know about systemic problems you’ve seen in your practice.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the IRS. LITCs represent individuals whose income is below a
certain level and need to resolve tax problems with the IRS, such as audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes. In addition,
clinics can provide information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in different languages for individuals who speak
English as a second language. Services are offered for free or a small fee. To find a clinic near you, visit IRS.gov/LITC or see
IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This publication is also available online at IRS.gov or by calling the
IRS tollfree at 1-800-829-3676.

Tax 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 1040-NR 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 $2,651. This is
the tax amount he must enter on line 42 of his Form
1040-NR.
