My husband is on F-1 OPT. We are filing Form 1040 NR (under married filing separately. Although I don't have any income. AM on F-2, not filing taxes).
Together with the Form 1040 NR we are filing:
Form 8843 form 540 NR (long form) form CA (540 NR)
My questions:
- Are we filing the correct forms? are they adequate?
Where will contribution to 401(k) appear in tax filing? Will it appear under 17 a (Pensions and annuities) or under Itemized deductions?
If Standardized deduction is claimed (Line 38 of Page 2, Form 1040-NR), will it appear on Page 5 (Schedule OI) under L-1 (Tax treaty)?
