Form 1040-NR Helpful Hints
The lines on Form 1040-NR are arranged so that, in most instances, they are for the same tax items as the lines on 2022 Forms 1040 and 1040-SR.
 
You may also need the three Form 1040 numbered schedules: Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Additional Income and Adjustments to Income; Schedule 2 (Form 
1040), Additional Taxes; and Schedule 3 (Form 1040), Additional Credits and Payments.
 
You will need to complete the applicable items on Schedule OI (Form 1040-NR) and include that schedule with your Form 1040-NR.
CAUTION: There are a Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) and a Schedule A (Form 1040). Do not use Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) with Form 1040 or Form 
1040-SR. Use Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) only with Form 1040-NR. If using a Schedule A with Form 1040 or 1040-SR, use Schedule A (Form 1040).
 
Though you will need to file Form 1040-NR and Schedule OI (Form 1040-NR), you may not need to file the numbered schedules (Schedules 1 through 3 
(Form 1040)), or Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) and Schedule NEC (Form 1040-NR). However, if your return is more complicated (for example, you claim 
certain deductions or credits or owe additional taxes, or you have U.S. source income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), you will need to 
complete one or more of those schedules. Below is a general guide to which schedule(s) you will need to file based on your circumstances. See the 
instructions for the schedules later for more information. If you e-file your return, you will generally not notice much of a change and the software you use will 
generally determine which schedules you need.
 
You will need the Instructions for Form 1040. Throughout these instructions, you are directed to go to the Instructions for Forms 1040 (also known as the 
Instructions for Form 1040 (and 1040-SR)) for details on how to complete a line. But, in most instances, you will need to look at whether you must take 
exceptions into consideration when applying those instructions. The specific exceptions for a line are listed under the instructions for the line. Some of the 
exceptions noted repeatedly in the line instructions are below. 
 
A nonresident alien filing Form 1040-NR cannot have a Married filing jointly or a Head of household filing status.
Certain tax benefits (such as the child tax credit, the credit for other dependents, and the additional child tax credit; and the premium tax credit for 
dependents) are only available in full to residents of Canada and Mexico and, to a limited extent, to residents of India and South Korea. These tax benefits 
cannot be claimed by other nonresident aliens.
There are certain forms used by Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR filers that are NOT used by Form 1040-NR filers: for example, Form 2555, Form 965, and 
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S).
The instructions for estates and trusts on the main form may, in certain instances, align more with the Instructions for Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return 
for Estates and Trusts, than with the Instructions for Form 1040, which are for individuals. If you are filing for a nonresident alien estate or trust, you will still 
need to follow the Instructions for Schedule NEC, later, if the estate or trust has U.S. source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or 
business. And there may be tax benefits and income inclusions on Form 1041 not applicable to a nonresident alien trust or estate.

IF YOU . . .                                                                                                THEN USE . . . 
Can claim deductions and losses properly allocated and apportioned to income effectively connected           Schedule A (Form 1040-NR)
with a U.S. trade or business. Do not include deductions and/or losses that relate to exempt income or to   Note. Do not use Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) 
income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.                                     with Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. Use Schedule A 
                                                                                                            (Form 1040-NR) only with Form 1040-NR. With 
                                                                                                            Form 1040 or 1040-SR, use Schedule A (Form 
                                                                                                            1040).
Have income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.                                         Schedule NEC (Form 1040-NR)
Have additional income, such as business or farm income or loss, unemployment compensation, or prize         Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part I
or award money from a U.S. trade or business.
Have any deductions to claim, such as student loan interest deduction, self-employment tax deduction,        Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part II
or educator expenses.
Owe alternative minimum tax (AMT) or need to make an excess advance premium tax credit repayment.            Schedule 2 (Form 1040), Part I
Owe other taxes, such as self-employment tax, household employment taxes, and additional tax on IRAs         Schedule 2 (Form 1040), Part II
or other qualified retirement plans and tax-favored accounts.
Can claim a nonrefundable credit (other than the child tax credit or the credit for other dependents), such  Schedule 3 (Form 1040), Part I
as the foreign tax credit or general business credit.
Can claim a refundable credit (other than the additional child tax credit), such as the net premium tax 
credit or qualified sick and family leave credits from Schedule H.
                                                                                                             Schedule 3 (Form 1040), Part II
Have other payments, such as an amount paid with a request for an extension to file or excess social 
security tax withheld.

                                                                        -2-                                  Instructions for Form 1040-NR (2022)

                            The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Is Here To Help You

What is the Taxpayer Advocate Service?
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the IRS that helps taxpayers and protects 
taxpayer rights. Their job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and understand your rights 
under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
 
How can you learn about your taxpayer rights?
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights describes 10 basic rights that all taxpayers have when dealing with the IRS. Go to 
TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov to help you understand what these rights mean to you and how they apply. These are your 
rights. Know them. Use them.
 
What can TAS do for you?
TAS can help you resolve problems that you can’t resolve with the IRS. And their service is free. If you qualify for their 
assistance, you will be assigned to one advocate who will work with you throughout the process and will do everything 
possible to resolve your issue. TAS can help you if:
Your problem is causing financial difficulty for you, your family, or your business;
You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action; or
You have tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS has not responded by the date 
promised.
 
How can you reach TAS?
TAS has offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Your local advocate’s number is in your local 
directory at TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/Contact-Us. You can also call them at 877-777-4778.
 
How else does TAS help taxpayers?
TAS works to resolve large-scale problems that affect many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues, please 
report it to them at IRS.gov/SAMS. 
 
TAS for Tax Professionals
TAS can provide a variety of information for tax professionals, including tax law updates and guidance, TAS programs, and 
ways to let TAS know about systemic problems you’ve seen in your practice.

                                              Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Taxpayer Advocate 
Service (TAS). LITCs represent individuals whose income is below a certain level and who need to resolve tax problems with 
the IRS. LITCs can represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes before the IRS and in court. In 
addition, LITCs can provide information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in different languages for individuals who 
speak English as a second language. Services are offered for free or a small fee. For more information or to find an LITC 
near you, see the LITC page at TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/LITCMap or IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic 
List. This publication is available online at IRS.gov/Forms-Pubs or by calling the IRS toll free at 800-829-3676.

             Flexible Payments—File early; pay by the due date of your return (not counting 
                extensions)—April 18, 2023 (for most people).

             Quick Receipt—Get an acknowledgment that your return was received and accepted.

IRS e-le is now the norm, not the exception. 

IRS.gov is the gateway to all electronic services offered by the IRS, as well as the spot to download forms at 
IRS.gov/Forms.

    b. You have no U.S. source income, or
    c. Your income is exempt from U.S. tax under a tax treaty or any section of the Internal Revenue Code.
However, if you have no gross income* for 2022, do not complete the schedules for Form 1040-NR other than Schedule OI (Form 1040-NR).

3. You owe any special taxes, including any of the following.
    a. Alternative minimum tax. 
    b. Additional tax on a qualified plan, including an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), or other tax favored account. (If you are filing a return 
    only because you owe this tax, you can file Form 5329 by itself.)
    c. Household employment taxes. (If you are filing a return only because you owe these taxes, you can file Schedule H (Form 1040) by itself.)
    d. Social security and Medicare tax on tips you did not report to your employer or on wages you received from an employer who did not 
    withhold these taxes.

    line 17d, later.
4. You received HSA, Archer Medical Savings Account (MSA), or Medicare Advantage MSA distributions. See the instructions for Schedule 2,

                                         Taxpayer Bill of Rights
                                                         
All taxpayers have fundamental rights they should be aware of when dealing with the IRS. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights, 
which the IRS adopted in June of 2014, takes existing rights in the tax code and groups them into the following 10 
broad categories, making them easier to understand. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them.
The right to be informed. Taxpayers have the right to know what they need to do to comply with the tax laws. They 
are entitled to clear explanations of the laws and IRS procedures in all tax forms, instructions, publications, notices, 
and correspondence. They have the right to be informed of IRS decisions about their tax accounts and to receive clear 
explanations of the outcomes.
 
The right to quality service. Taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous, and professional assistance in 
their dealings with the IRS, to be spoken to in a way they can easily understand, to receive clear and easily 
understandable communications from the IRS, and to speak to a supervisor about inadequate service.
 
The right to pay no more than the correct amount of tax. Taxpayers have the right to pay only the amount of tax 
legally due, including interest and penalties, and to have the IRS apply all tax payments properly.
 
The right to challenge the IRS's position and be heard. Taxpayers have the right to raise objections and provide 
additional documentation in response to formal IRS actions or proposed actions, to expect that the IRS will consider 
their timely objections and documentation promptly and fairly, and to receive a response if the IRS does not agree with 
their position. 
 
The right to appeal an IRS decision in an independent forum. Taxpayers are entitled to a fair and impartial 
administrative appeal of most IRS decisions, including many penalties, and have the right to receive a written 
response regarding the IRS Independent Office of Appeals’ decision. Taxpayers generally have the right to take their 
cases to court. 
 
The right to finality. Taxpayers have the right to know the maximum amount of time they have to challenge the IRS’s 
position as well as the maximum amount of time the IRS has to audit a particular tax year or collect a tax debt. 
Taxpayers have the right to know when the IRS has finished an audit.
 
The right to privacy. Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry, examination, or enforcement action will 
comply with the law and be no more intrusive than necessary, and will respect all due process rights, including search 
and seizure protections, and will provide, where applicable, a collection due process hearing.
 
The right to confidentiality. Taxpayers have the right to expect that any information they provide to the IRS will not 
be disclosed unless authorized by the taxpayer or by law. Taxpayers have the right to expect appropriate action will be 
taken against employees, return preparers, and others who wrongfully use or disclose taxpayer return information.
 
The right to retain representation. Taxpayers have the right to retain an authorized representative of their choice to 
represent them in their dealings with the IRS. Taxpayers have the right to seek assistance from a Low Income 
Taxpayer Clinic if they cannot afford representation.
 
The right to a fair and just tax system. Taxpayers have the right to expect the tax system to consider facts and 
circumstances that might affect their underlying liabilities, ability to pay, or ability to provide information timely. 
Taxpayers have the right to receive assistance from the Taxpayer Advocate Service if they are experiencing financial 
difficulty or if the IRS has not resolved their tax issues properly and timely through its normal channels.
