How does a F1 student from the UK file a US Income tax return?

I'm really confused as to how I fill out form 1040NR-EZ. I know that the UK and the US has a tax treaty but I'm not sure how it works.





I am an F1 student in VA and I earned about $4200 in the tax year. Will I get all of the federal tax back?|||On F1 you are exempt from residency for 5-years. You must file non-resident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843. Your income is not subject to FICA taxes but you must pay federal and state income taxes.


On your income you will get deduction based on tax treaty between the U.S. and your country. The UK and US tax treaty for students does not have any deduction for students from UK. You can claim itemized deduction.|||You get a personal exemption of $3,650. If you earned more than that you will have some tax liability so you won't receive a refund of all of the tax that was withheld. The treaty essentially exempts any non-US income from US taxation while you are an F1 student.



Non-resident Aliens cannot claim the standard deduction or most itemized deductions. You can claim the sate income taxes that you paid during the year but that's about it.
