Perkiraan pajak nonresident alien

Nonresident aliens for U.S. tax purposes—often F-1/J-1 students and scholars during their exempt-individual years, and some new arrivals—generally report U.S.-source income on Form 1040-NR (or 1040-NR-EZ historically). Once you become a resident alien under the green card or Substantial Presence Test rules, you typically file Form 1040 instead.

Often yes while you remain a nonresident alien in F-1 (commonly the first five calendar years as a student) or certain J-1 categories (often the first two calendar years for teachers/researchers). H-1B wages are generally subject to Social Security and Medicare. This tool shows a heuristic exemption flag—confirm with payroll and IRS Publication 519.

Generally no. A notable exception is that students and business apprentices who are residents of India may claim the standard deduction under the U.S.–India income tax treaty. Most other NRAs itemize only limited deductions or claim treaty benefits instead.

Many treaties include a student article that can exempt a limited amount of personal-service income (often illustrated as about $5,000, though the exact article and amount depend on your country). Always read your country’s treaty text and Form 8833 requirements—this estimator’s $5,000 option is a simplified placeholder.

University tax software (Sprintax, Glacier Tax Prep, etc.) helps many students generate 1040-NR returns and treaty forms. Use this calculator for quick planning only, then complete official software or work with a cross-border tax professional before filing.

No. Visa, wages, scholarship, treaty, and withholding inputs stay in React state on your device. Nothing is transmitted—safe for private tax planning drafts.
