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 2023 Forms 1040, U.S. Individual Income  
Tax Return, and 1040-SR, U.S. Income Tax Return for Seniors.  
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), Other Information, and include that schedule with your Form  
1040-NR.  
CAUTION: There is a Schedule A (Form 1040-NR), Itemized Deductions, and a Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. Use Schedule A (Form  
1040-NR) only with Form 1040-NR. Do not use Schedule A (Form 1040-NR) with Forms 1040 or 1040-SR.  
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), Schedule NEC (Form 1040-NR), Tax on Income Not Effectively Connected With a U.S. Trade or Business, and  
Schedule P (Form 1040-NR), Foreign Partner’s Interests in Certain Foreign Partnerships Transferred During the Tax Year. 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, 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 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

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)  
Had a gain or loss from your transfer of an interest in a partnership that is either directly or indirectly  
engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States or holds any U.S. real property  
interests.  
Schedule P (Form 1040-NR)  
Have additional income, such as business or farm income or loss, unemployment compensation, or prize  
or award money from a U.S. trade or business.  
Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part I  
Have any adjustments to income to claim, such as student loan interest deduction, self-employment tax  
deduction, or educator expenses.  
Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part II  
Schedule 2 (Form 1040), Part I  
Schedule 2 (Form 1040), Part II  
Owe alternative minimum tax (AMT) or need to make an excess advance premium tax credit repayment.  
Owe other taxes, such as self-employment tax, household employment taxes, and additional tax on  
individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) 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  
as the foreign tax credit or general business credit.  
Schedule 3 (Form 1040), Part I  
Can claim a refundable credit (other than the additional child tax credit), such as the net premium tax  
credit.  
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.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help You  
What is the Taxpayer Advocate Service?  
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that helps  
taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. TAS strives to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and  
understand your rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.  
What can TAS do for you?  
TAS can help you if your tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, you’ve tried and been unable to resolve your issue with  
the IRS, or you believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn’t working as it should. And the service is free. If you  
qualify for TAS 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.  
You’ve tried to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date promised.  
How can you reach TAS?  
TAS has offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To find your advocate’s number:  
Download Publication 1546, Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Your Voice at the IRS. If you don’t have Internet access, you  
can call the IRS toll free at 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676) and ask for a copy of Publication 1546;  
Check your local directory; or  
Call TAS toll free at 877-777-4778.  
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. The TAS  
websiteTaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov can help you understand what these rights mean to you and how they apply. These are  
your rights. Know them. Use them.  
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 TAS at IRS.gov/SAMS. Be sure not to include any personal taxpayer information.  
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  
List. This publication is available online at IRS.gov/Forms-Pubs or by calling the IRS toll free at 800-TAX-FORM  
(800-829-3676).  
Suggestions for Improving the IRS  
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel  
Taxpayers have an opportunity to provide direct feedback to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the Taxpayer  
Advocacy Panel (TAP). The TAP is a Federal Advisory Committee comprised of an independent panel of citizen volunteers  
who listen to taxpayers, identify taxpayers' systemic issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS customer service.  
Contact TAP at ImproveIRS.org.

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.
