Filing Taxes as a Resident Alien with No Tax Treaty Benefit

You qualify as a Resident Alien with No Tax Treaty Benefit if the following criteria apply to you:

• Have been in the U.S. as an F-1 or J-1 Student for more than 5 calendar years.
• Have been in the U.S. as a J-1 non-student (Research Scholar/Professor) for more than 2 calendar years

• You are not taking advantage of a tax treaty, or are from a country with no tax treaty with the U.S.

Resident Aliens can use any number of software products that are available in the US market, such as Turbo Tax, Tax Act etc., to file their tax return.

After completing and printing your Federal Income Tax Report you will need to complete a State Tax Report for the states that you were living and working in. The software you use will also help you with this.
