Course Materials

This course will provide tax preparers with a drill-down of Form 1040NR filing requirements, determining who should file, correctly reporting income and claiming refunds, identifying available deductions and limitations, listing dependents and spouses, and avoiding costly errors.

Description

Tax advisors completing Form 1040NR for nonresident individuals working in the U.S. must understand the distinctions between U.S. residents, non-residents, dual-status or undocumented aliens to ensure accurate filing. Immigration laws affect the tax liability of tax filers who are not citizens but reside in the U.S.

Determining which taxpayers must file, and when estates and trusts are required to file Form 1040NR, is only the beginning. Preparers must select the proper taxpayer classification, and know when to claim the non-resident alien election.

Other complexities include dual status taxpayers, properly reporting income and claiming refunds, and navigating available deductions and limitations. Return preparers will benefit from a thorough briefing on effective approaches for filing Form 1040NR by our experienced panel.

Listen as our authoritative panel reviews the federal tax rules and regulations and offers guidance for tax professionals filing Form 1040NR for non-resident aliens living in the U.S.
