Can you use turbotax on F-1 OPT?
TC: 290k #taxes
You are on OPT with 290k?
Doable given the high value of amazon stocks but still is a great offer.
Fresh grad with 290K is crazy. Almost 6yoe and I'm still at 250 lol
Nope. They partner with sprintax for 1040nr or 1040nr-ez. 1040nr-ez is simple enough for you to do on your own
How about going to tax consultants like H&R Block?
If you’ve been here for at least 5 years, then you’re a resident for tax purposes, which means any standard return form would work for you, including through Turbotax. However, Turbotax has a partner that handles non-residents. https://www.sprintax.com/non-resident-alien-tax-1040nr-turbotax.html
@Bouillon No it's not flat 5years. Here is a link to better understand : https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/non-resident-vs-resident-alien-status.html
Depends on if you're a resident alien or not, for tax purposes. Which in turn depends on the length of the time you've been here over the last years.
I stayed in US since 2017 August and didn’t visit my home country. How do I determine it?
TLDR; You can't use TurboTax. You can go online and check criteria for resident alien, however you have not been in the country long enough on F1. You can safely use the non-resident alien tax prep software CINTAX or Glacier Tax or something like that. Disclaimer: This is not legal or tax advice, I'm not qualified to provide either.
