Additional Information
If you need more information, our free
publications may help you. Pub. 519,
U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, will be the
most beneficial, but the following
publications also may help.
Pub. 597 Information on the United
States–Canada Income Tax
Treaty
Pub. 901 U.S. Tax Treaties
These free publications and the
forms and schedules you will need are
available from the IRS. You can
download them at IRS.gov. Also see
How To Get Tax Help, later, for other
ways to get them (as well as information
on receiving IRS assistance in
completing the forms).
Resident Alien or
Nonresident Alien
If you are not a citizen of the United
States, specific rules apply to determine
if you are a resident alien or a
nonresident alien for tax purposes.
Generally, you are considered a
resident alien if you meet either the
green card test or the substantial
presence test for 2018. (These tests are
explained in Green Card Test next and
Substantial Presence Test, later.) Even
if you do not meet either of these tests,
you may be able to choose to be treated
as a U.S. resident for part of 2018. See
First-Year Choice in chapter 1 of Pub.
519 for details.
Generally, you are considered a
nonresident alien for the year if you are
not a U.S. resident under either of these
tests. However, even if you are a U.S.
resident under one of these tests, you
will be treated as a nonresident alien if
you qualify as a resident of a treaty
country within the meaning of an income
tax treaty between the United States
and that country and you claim a treaty
benefit (as a nonresident of the United
States) so as to reduce your U.S.
income tax liability. You can download
the complete text of most U.S. tax
treaties at IRS.gov. Enter “tax treaties”
in the search box at the top of the page.
Technical explanations for many of
those treaties are also available at that
site.
For more details on resident and
nonresident status, the tests for
residence, and the exceptions to them,
see chapter 1 of Pub. 519.
Green Card Test
You are a resident for tax purposes if
you were a lawful permanent resident
(immigrant) of the United States at any
time during 2018. (However, see
Dual-Status Taxpayers, later.) In most
cases you are a lawful permanent
resident if the U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) (or its
predecessor organization, INS) has
issued you an alien registration card,
also known as a green card.
You continue to have resident status
under this test unless the status is taken
away from you or is administratively or
judicially determined to have been
abandoned.
Your resident status is considered to
have been taken away from you if the
U.S. Government issues you a final
administrative or judicial order of
exclusion or deportation. When your
resident status is considered to have
been administratively or judicially
determined to be abandoned depends
on who initiates the determination.
If the USCIS or U.S. consular officer
initiates this determination, your
resident status will be considered to be
abandoned when the final
administrative order of abandonment is
issued.
If you initiate the determination, your
resident status is considered to be
abandoned when you file either of the
following documents—along with your
USCIS Alien Registration Receipt
Card—with the USCIS or a U.S.
consular officer.
• USCIS Form I-407, Record of
Abandonment of Lawful Permanent
Resident Status.
• A letter stating your intent to abandon
your resident status.
The USCIS Alien Registration
Receipt Card is also referred to as a
green card.
When filing by mail, you must send
your filing by certified mail, return
receipt requested (or the foreign
equivalent) and keep a copy and proof
that it was mailed and received.
Until you have proof your letter
was received, you remain a
CAUTION resident for tax purposes even if
the USCIS would not recognize the
validity of your green card because it is
more than 10 years old or because you
have been absent from the United
States for a period of time.
!
For more details, including special
rules that apply if you give up your green
card after holding it in at least 8 of the
prior 15 years, see Pub. 519.
Substantial Presence Test
You are considered a U.S. resident if
you meet the substantial presence test
for 2018. You meet this test if you were
physically present in the United States
for at least:
1. 31 days during 2018; and
2. 183 testing days during the
period 2018, 2017, and 2016, using the
following chart.

Generally, you are treated as present
in the United States on any day that you
are physically present in the country at
any time during the day. However, there
are exceptions to this rule. In general,
do not count the following as days of
presence in the United States for the
substantial presence test.
1. Days you commute to work in the
United States from a residence in
Canada or Mexico if you regularly
commute from Canada or Mexico.
-2-
2. Days you are in the United States
for less than 24 hours when you are in
transit between two places outside the
United States.
3. Days you were temporarily in the
United States as a regular crew member
of a foreign vessel engaged in
transportation between the United
States and a foreign country or a
possession of the United States unless
you otherwise engaged in trade or
business on such day.
4. Days you intend, but are unable,
to leave the United States because of a
medical condition that arose while you
were in the United States.
5. Days you are in the United States
under a NATO visa as a member of a
force or civilian component to NATO.
However, this exception does not apply
to an immediate family member who is
present in the United States under a
NATO visa. A dependent family
member must count every day of
presence for purposes of the substantial
presence test.
6. Days you are an exempt
individual (defined next).
You may need to file Form 8843
to exclude days of presence in
CAUTION the United States if you meet (4)
or (6) above. For more information on
the requirements, see Form 8843 in
chapter 1 of Pub. 519.
!
Exempt individual. For purposes of
the substantial presence test, an
exempt individual is generally an
individual who is a:
• Foreign government-related
individual;
• Teacher or trainee who is temporarily
present under a “J” or “Q” visa;
• Student who is temporarily present
under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa; or
• Professional athlete who is
temporarily in the United States to
compete in a charitable sports event.
Note. Alien individuals with “Q” visas
are treated as either students, teachers,
or trainees and, as such, are exempt
individuals for purposes of the
substantial presence test if they
otherwise qualify. “Q” visas are issued
to aliens participating in certain
international cultural exchange
programs.
See chapter 1 of Pub. 519 for more
details regarding days of presence in
the United States for the substantial
presence test.
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
You cannot be an exempt
individual indefinitely. Generally,
CAUTION you will not be an exempt
individual as a teacher or trainee in
2018 if you were exempt as a teacher,
trainee, or student for any part of 2 of
the preceding 6 years. You will not be
an exempt individual as a student in
2018 if you were exempt as a teacher,
trainee, or student for any part of more
than 5 calendar years. However, there
are exceptions to these limits. See
Substantial Presence Test in chapter 1
of Pub. 519 for more information.
!
Closer Connection to Foreign
Country
Even though you otherwise would meet
the substantial presence test, you can
be treated as a nonresident alien if you:
• Were present in the United States for
fewer than 183 days during 2018,
• Establish that during 2018 you had a
tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2018 you had a
closer connection to one foreign country
in which you had a tax home than to the
United States unless you had a closer
connection to two foreign countries.
You are not eligible for the closer
connection exception if you have an
application pending for adjustment of
status to that of a lawful permanent
resident or if you have applied, or have
taken other steps to apply, for lawful
permanent residence.
See chapter 1 of Pub. 519 for more
information.
You must file a fully completed Form
8840 with the IRS to claim the closer
connection exception. Each spouse
must file a separate Form 8840 to claim
the closer connection exception. See
Form 8840 in chapter 1 of Pub. 519.
Who Must File
File Form 1040NR-EZ (or Form
1040NR) if you were a nonresident alien
engaged in a trade or business in the
United States during 2018. You must file
even if:

business conducted in the United
States,
• You have no income from U.S.
sources, or
• Your income is exempt from U.S. tax
under a tax treaty or any section of the
Internal Revenue Code.
Other situations when you must file.
You also must file a return for 2018 if
you need to pay 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.
Exception. You do not need to file
Form 1040NR-EZ (or Form 1040NR) if
you meet the following exception. You
were a nonresident alien student,
teacher, or trainee who was temporarily
present in the United States under an
“F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa, and you have
no income (such as wages, salaries,
tips, etc., or scholarship or fellowship
grants) that is subject to tax under
section 871.
When To File
If you were an employee and received
wages subject to U.S. income tax
withholding, file Form 1040NR-EZ by
April 15, 2019.
If you did not receive wages as an
employee subject to U.S. income tax

date of the return. Instead of filing Form
4868, you can apply for an automatic
extension by making an electronic
payment by the due date of your return.
An automatic 6-month
extension of time to file does not
CAUTION extend the time to pay your tax.
If you do not pay your tax by the original
due date of your return, you will owe
interest on the unpaid tax and may owe
penalties. See Form 4868.

Election To Be Taxed as a
Resident Alien
You can elect to be taxed as a U.S.
resident for the whole year if all of the
following apply.
• You were married.
• Your spouse was a U.S. citizen or
resident alien on the last day of the tax
year.
• You file a joint return for the year of
the election using Form 1040.
To make this election, you must
attach the statement described under
Nonresident Spouse Treated as a
Resident in chapter 1 of Pub. 519 to
your return. Do not use Form
1040NR-EZ or 1040NR.

election in an earlier year, you can file a
joint return or separate return for 2018. If
you file a separate return, use Form
1040. You must include your worldwide
income for the whole year whether you
file a joint or separate return.
If you make this election, you
may forfeit the right to claim
CAUTION benefits otherwise available
under a U.S. tax treaty. For more
information about the benefits that
otherwise might be available, see the
specific treaty.
!
Dual-Status Taxpayers
If you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (discussed earlier
CAUTION under Election To Be Taxed as
a Resident Alien), the special
instructions and restrictions discussed
here do not apply.
!
Dual-Status Tax Year
A dual-status year is one in which you
change status between nonresident and
resident alien. Different U.S. income tax
rules apply to each status.
Most dual-status years are the years
of arrival or departure. Before you arrive
in the United States, you are a
nonresident alien. After you arrive, you
may or may not be a resident,
depending on the circumstances.
If you become a U.S. resident, you
stay a resident until you leave the
United States or are no longer a lawful
permanent resident of the United
States. You may become a nonresident
alien when you leave if you meet both of
the following conditions.
• After leaving (or after your last day of
lawful permanent residency if you met
the green card test, defined earlier) and
for the remainder of the calendar year of
your departure, you have a closer
connection to a foreign country than to
the United States.
• During the next calendar year you are
not a U.S. resident under either the
green card test or the substantial
presence test.
See Pub. 519 for more information.
What and Where To File for a
Dual-Status Year
If you were a U.S. resident on the last
day of the tax year, file Form 1040.
Enter “Dual-Status Return” across the
top and attach a statement showing
your income for the part of the year you
were a nonresident. You can use
Form 1040NR-EZ as the statement;
enter “Dual-Status Statement” across
the top. Do not sign Form 1040NR-EZ. If
you are not enclosing a payment, mail
your return and statement to the
following address.

U.S.A.
Statements. Any statement you file
with your return must show your name,
address, and identifying number (see
Identifying Number, later).
Income Subject to Tax for
Dual-Status Year
As a dual-status taxpayer not filing a
joint return, you are taxed on income
from all sources for the part of the year
you were a resident alien. Generally,
you are taxed on income only from U.S.
sources for the part of the year you were
a nonresident alien. However, all
income effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the
United States is taxable.
Income you received as a dual-status
taxpayer from sources outside the
United States while a resident alien is
taxable even if you became a
nonresident alien after receiving it and
before the close of the tax year.
Conversely, income you received from
sources outside the United States while
a nonresident alien is not taxable in
most cases even if you became a
resident alien after receiving it and
before the close of the tax year. Income
from U.S. sources is generally taxable
whether you received it while a
nonresident alien or a resident alien
(unless specifically exempt under the
Internal Revenue Code or a tax treaty
provision).

the Head of household Tax Table
column in the Instructions for Form
1040.

information on other credits, see
chapter 6 of Pub. 519.
How To Figure Tax for a
Dual-Status Tax Year
When you figure your U.S. tax for a
dual-status year, you are subject to
different rules for the part of the year
you were a resident and the part of the
year you were a nonresident.
All income for the period of residence
and all income that is effectively
connected with a trade or business in
the United States for the period of
nonresidence, after allowable
deductions, is combined and taxed at
the same rates that apply to U.S.
citizens and residents.
Credit for taxes paid. You are allowed
a credit against your U.S. income tax
liability for certain taxes you paid, or are
considered to have paid, or that were
withheld from your income. These
include the following.
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
1. Taxes withheld from wages earned
in the United States and taxes
withheld at the source from
scholarship income from U.S.
sources.
When filing Form 1040, show the
total tax withheld on line 16. Enter
amounts from the attached

your new address.
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
Name change. If you changed your
name because of marriage, divorce,
etc., and your identifying number is a
social security number, be sure to report
the change to the Social Security
Administration (SSA) before filing your
return. This prevents delays in
processing your return and issuing
refunds. It also safeguards your future
social security benefits. See Social
security number (SSN) below for how to
contact the SSA.

Taxpayer, later.
return at least once in the last 3
consecutive tax years have expired. In
addition, ITINs that were assigned
before 2013 will expire according to an
annual schedule based on the middle
digits of the ITIN. The middle digits refer
to the fourth and fifth positions of the
ITIN. For example, the middle digits for
9xx-78-xxxx are “78.” Expired ITINs
must be renewed in order to avoid
delays in processing your tax return. For
more information, see the Form W-7
instructions, or visit IRS.gov/ITIN.
Identifying Number
An incorrect or missing identifying
number can increase your tax, reduce
your refund, or delay your refund.
Social security number (SSN). In
most cases, you are required to enter
your SSN. If you do not have an SSN
but are eligible to get one, you should
apply for it. Get Form SS-5, Application
for a Social Security Card, online at
SSA.gov/ssnumber, from your local
Social Security Administration (SSA)
office, or by calling the SSA at
1-800-772-1213. For those who are
deaf or hard of hearing, or have a
speech disability and have access to
TTY/TDD equipment, call
1-800-325-0778.
Fill in Form SS-5 and bring it to your
local SSA office in person, along with
original documentation showing your
age, identity, immigration status, and
authority to work in the United States. If
you are an F-1 or M-1 student, you also
must show your Form I-20. If you are a
J-1 exchange visitor, you also must
show your Form DS-2019. It usually
takes about 2 weeks to get an SSN
once the SSA has all the evidence and
information it needs.
Check that both the name and SSN
on your Forms 1040NR-EZ, W-2, and
1099 agree with your social security
card. If they do not, certain deductions
and credits on your Form 1040NR-EZ
may be reduced or disallowed and you
may not receive credit for your social
security earnings. If your Form W-2

ITINs that have not been
TIP included on a U.S. federal tax
An ITIN is for tax use only. It does not
entitle you to social security benefits or
change your employment or immigration
status under U.S. law.
If you receive an SSN after
previously using an ITIN, stop using
your ITIN. Use your SSN instead. Visit a
local IRS office or write a letter to the
IRS explaining that you now have an
SSN and want all your tax records
combined under your SSN. Details
about what to include with the letter and
where to mail it are at IRS.gov/ITINinfo.
Filing Status
Lines 1 and 2. The amount of your tax
depends on your filing status. Before
you decide which box to check, read the
following explanations. For more
information about marital status, see
Pub. 501.
Were You Single or Married?
Single. You can check the box on
line 1 if any of the following was true on
December 31, 2018.
• You were never married.
• You were legally separated under a
decree of divorce or separate
maintenance. But if, at the end of 2018,
your divorce was not final (an
interlocutory decree), you are
considered married and cannot check
the box on line 1.
• You were widowed before January 1,
2018, and did not remarry before the
end of 2018.
• You meet the tests described under
Married persons who live apart, later.
Note. If you qualify for the “Qualifying
widow(er)” filing status, you may be able
to lower your taxes by filing Form
1040NR instead. For more information
about filing as a "Qualifying widow(er),"
see Line 6—Qualifying widow(er) in the
Instructions for Form 1040NR.
Married. If you were married on
December 31, 2018, consider yourself
married for the whole year, even if you
did not live with your spouse at the end
of 2018.
If your spouse died in 2018, consider
yourself married to that spouse for the
whole year, unless you remarried before
the end of 2018.
U.S. national. A U.S. national is an
individual who, although not a U.S.
citizen, owes his or her allegiance to the
United States. U.S. nationals include
American Samoans and Northern
Mariana Islanders who chose to
become U.S. nationals instead of U.S.
citizens.
Married persons who live apart.
Some married persons who have a child
and who do not live with their spouse
can file as single. If you meet all five of
the following tests and you are a
married resident of Canada, Mexico, or
South Korea, or you are a married U.S.
national, check the box on line 1.
1. You file a separate return from
your spouse.
2. You paid over half the cost of
keeping up your home for 2018.
3. You lived apart from your spouse
for the last 6 months of 2018.
Temporary absences for special
circumstances, such as for business,
medical care, school, or military service,
count as time lived in the home.
4. Your home was the main home of
your child, stepchild, or foster child for
more than half of 2018. Temporary
absences by you or the child for special
circumstances, such as school,
vacation, business, or medical care,
count as time the child lived in the
home. If the child was born or died in
2018, you still can file as single as long
as the home was that child's main home
for more than half of the part of the year
he or she was alive in 2018.
5. You could have claimed the child
as a dependent (on Form 1040NR) or
the child's other parent claims him or
her as a dependent under the rules for
children of divorced or separated
parents. See Form 8332, Release/
Revocation of Release of Claim to
Exemption for Child by Custodial
Parent.
Adopted child. An adopted child is
always treated as your own child. An
adopted child includes a child lawfully
placed with you for legal adoption.
Foster child. A foster child is any
child placed with you by an authorized
placement agency or by judgment,
decree, or other order of any court of
competent jurisdiction.
Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
You can round off cents to whole dollars
on your return. If you do round to whole
dollars, you must round all amounts. To
round, drop amounts under 50 cents
and increase amounts from 50 to 99
cents to the next dollar. For example,
$1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes
$3.
If you have to add two or more
amounts to figure the amount to enter
on a line, include cents when adding the
amounts and round off only the total.
Taxable Income
Line 3—Wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Enter the total of your effectively
connected wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Only U.S. source income is included on
line 3 as effectively connected wages.
For most people, the amount to enter on
this line should be shown in box 1 of
their Form(s) W-2.
Do not include on line 3
amounts exempted under a tax
CAUTION treaty. Instead, include these
amounts on line 6 and complete item J
of Schedule OI on page 2 of Form
1040NR-EZ.
!
The following types of income also
must be included on line 3.
• Wages received as a household
employee. An employer is not required
to provide a Form W-2 to you if he or
she paid you wages of less than $2,100
in 2018. If you received wages as a
household employee and you didn't
receive a Form W-2 because an
employer paid you less than $2,100 in
2018, enter “HSH” and the amount not
reported to you on a Form W-2 on the
dotted line next to line 3. For information
on employment taxes for household
employees, see Tax Topic 756 at
IRS.gov/TaxTopics.
• Tip income you did not report to your
employer. This should include any
-6-
allocated tips shown in box 8 on your
Form(s) W-2 unless you can prove that
your unreported tips are less than the
amount in box 8. Allocated tips are not
included as income in box 1. See Pub.
531, Reporting Tip Income, for more
details. Also include the value of any
noncash tips you received, such as
tickets, passes, or other items of value.
Although you do not report these
noncash tips to your employer, you
must report them on line 3.
You may owe social security
and Medicare tax on unreported
CAUTION tips. See the instructions for
line 16, later.
!
• Disability pensions shown on
Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R if you
have not reached the minimum
retirement age set by your employer.
Note. You must use Form 1040NR to
report disability pensions received after
you reach your employer's minimum
retirement age and other payments
shown on Form 1042-S or Form
1099-R.
• Wages from Form 8919, line 6.
Missing or incorrect Form W-2.
Your employer is required to provide or
send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2019. If you do not receive
it by early February, use Tax Topic 154
at IRS.gov/TaxTopics to find out what to
do. Even if you do not get a Form W-2,
you still must report your earnings on
line 3. If you lose your Form W-2 or it is
incorrect, ask your employer for a new
one.
Dependent care benefits. If you
received benefits for 2018 under your
employer's dependent care plan, you
must use Form 1040NR. The benefits
should be shown in box 10 of your
Form(s) W-2.
Adoption benefits. If you received
employer-provided adoption benefits for
2018, you must use Form 1040NR. The
benefits should be shown in box 12 of
your Form(s) W-2, with code T.
Tax-exempt interest. Certain types
of interest income from investments in
state and municipal bonds and similar
instruments are not taxed by the United
States. If you received such tax-exempt
interest income, enter “TEI” and the
amount of your tax-exempt interest on
the dotted line next to line 3. Include any
exempt-interest dividends from a mutual
fund or other regulated investment
company.
Do not include interest earned on
your individual retirement arrangement
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
(IRA), health savings account, Archer or
Medicare Advantage MSA, or Coverdell
education savings account. Also, do not
include interest from a U.S. bank,
savings and loan association, credit
union, or similar institution (or from
certain deposits with U.S. insurance
companies) that is exempt from tax
under a tax treaty or under section
871(i) because the interest is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade
or business. Do not add any tax-exempt
interest to your line 3 total.
Income from a sharing economy.
If you use one of the many online
platforms available to provide goods
and services, you may be involved in
what is known as the sharing economy.
If you receive income from a sharing
economy activity, it is generally taxable
even if you do not receive a Form
1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income;
Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement; or
some other income statement. To learn
more about this income, go to IRS.gov/
Sharing. If you receive income from a
sharing economy activity, you may have
to use Form 1040NR instead of Form
1040NR-EZ.
Line 4—Taxable refunds, credits, or
offsets of state and local income taxes. If you received a refund, credit, or
offset of state or local income taxes in
2018, you may receive a Form 1099-G.
If you chose to apply part or all of the
refund to your 2018 estimated state or
local income tax, the amount applied is
treated as received in 2018.
For details on how to figure the
amount you must report as income, see
Itemized Deduction Recoveries in Pub.
525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
None of your refund is taxable if,
TIP in the year you paid the tax, you
did not itemize deductions.
Currently this exception only applies to
students or business apprentices from
India. If you were a student or business
apprentice from India in 2017 and you
claimed the standard deduction on your
2017 tax return, none of your refund of
2017 taxes is taxable. See Students and
business apprentices from India under
Itemized Deductions in chapter 5 of
Pub. 519. If none of your refund is
taxable, leave line 4 blank.
Line 5—Scholarship and fellowship
grants. If you received a scholarship or
fellowship, part or all of it may be
taxable. Amounts received in the form of
a scholarship or fellowship that are
payment for teaching, research, or other
services are generally taxable as wages
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
even if the services were required to get
the scholarship or fellowship.
If you were a degree candidate, the
amounts you used for expenses other
than tuition and course-related
expenses (fees, books, supplies, and
equipment) are generally taxable. For
example, amounts used for room,
board, and travel are generally taxable.
If you were not a degree candidate,
the full amount of the scholarship or
fellowship is generally taxable.
If the grant was reported on
Form(s) 1042-S, you generally must
include the amount shown in box 2 of
Form(s) 1042-S on line 5. However, if
any or all of that amount is exempt by
treaty, do not include the treaty-exempt
amount on line 5. Instead, include the
treaty-exempt amount on line 6 and
complete item J of Schedule OI on
page 2 of Form 1040NR-EZ.
Attach any Form(s) 1042-S you
received from the college or institution.
If you did not receive a Form 1042-S,
attach a statement from the college or
institution (on their letterhead) showing
the details of the grant.
For more information about
scholarships and fellowships in general,
see chapter 1 of Pub. 970, Tax Benefits
for Education.
Example 1. You are a citizen of a
country that does not have an income
tax treaty in force with the United States.
You are a candidate for a degree at
ABC University (located in the United
States). You are receiving a full
scholarship from ABC University. You
are not required to perform any
services, such as teaching, research, or
other services, to get the scholarship.
The total amounts you received from
ABC University during 2018 are as
follows.
Tuition and
fees
Books,
supplies, and
equipment
Room and
board
$25,000
1,000
9,000
$35,000
The Form 1042-S you received from
ABC University for 2018 shows $9,000
in box 2 and $1,260 (14% of $9,000) in
box 10.
Note. Box 2 shows only $9,000
because withholding agents (such as
-7-
ABC University) are not required to
report section 117 amounts (tuition,
fees, books, supplies, and equipment)
on Form 1042-S.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ,
do the following.
• Enter on line 5 the $9,000 shown in
box 2 of Form 1042-S.
• Enter $0 on line 8. Because
section 117 amounts (tuition, fees,
books, supplies, and equipment) were
not included in box 2 of your
Form 1042-S (and are not included on
line 5 of Form 1040NR-EZ), you cannot
exclude any of the section 117 amounts
on line 8.
• Include on line 18b the $1,260 shown
in box 10 of Form 1042-S.
Example 2. The facts are the same
as in Example 1, except that you are a
citizen of a country that has an income
tax treaty in force with the United States
that includes a provision that exempts
scholarship income and you were a
resident of that country for income tax
purposes immediately before arriving in
the United States to attend ABC
University. Also, assume that, under the
terms of the tax treaty, you are present
in the United States only temporarily to
finish your degree, and all of your
scholarship income is exempt from tax
because ABC University is a nonprofit
educational organization.
Note. Scholarship or fellowship grant
income is not exempt from tax under
some treaties if the income is received
in exchange for the performance of
services, such as teaching, research, or
other services. Also, many tax treaties
do not permit an exemption from tax on
scholarship or fellowship grant income
unless the income is from sources
outside the United States. If you are a
resident of a treaty country, you must
know the terms of the tax treaty
between the United States and the
treaty country to claim treaty benefits on
Form 1040NR-EZ. For details, see the
instructions for item J of Schedule OI,
later.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ,
do the following.
• Enter $0 on line 5. The $9,000
reported to you in box 2 of Form 1042-S
is reported on line 6 (not line 5).
• Enter $9,000 on line 6.
• Enter $0 on line 8. Because none of
the $9,000 reported to you in box 2 of
Form 1042-S is included in your income,
you cannot exclude it on line 8.
• Include on line 18b any withholding
shown in box 10 of Form 1042-S.
• Provide all the required information in
item J of Schedule OI on page 2 of Form
1040NR-EZ.
Line 6—Treaty-exempt income.
Report on line 6 the total of all your
income that is exempt from tax by an
income tax treaty, including both
effectively connected income and not
effectively connected income. Do not
include this exempt income on line 7.
You must complete item J of
Schedule OI on page 2 of Form
1040NR-EZ to report income that is
exempt from U.S. tax.
Line 8—Scholarship and fellowship
grants excluded. If you received a
scholarship or fellowship grant and were
a degree candidate, enter amounts
used for tuition and course-related
expenses (fees, books, supplies, and
equipment), but only to the extent the
amounts are included on line 5. See the
examples in the instructions for line 5,
earlier.
Line 9—Student loan interest deduction. You can take this deduction if all
of the following apply.
1. You paid interest in 2018 on a
qualified student loan (defined next).
2. Your filing status is single.
3. Your modified adjusted gross
income (AGI) is less than $80,000. Use
lines 2 through 4 of the Student Loan
Interest Deduction Worksheet to figure
your modified AGI.
Use the Student Loan Interest
Deduction Worksheet to figure your
student loan interest deduction.
Qualified student loan. This is any
loan you took out to pay the qualified
higher education expenses for any of
the following individuals.
1. Yourself or your spouse.
2. Any person who was your
dependent when the loan was taken
out.
3. Any person you could have
claimed as a dependent for the year the
loan was taken out except that:
a. The person filed a joint return,
b. The person had gross income
that was equal to or more than $4,150
for 2018, or
c. You could be claimed as a
dependent on someone else's return.
The person for whom the expenses
were paid must have been an eligible
student (see Eligible student, later).
However, a loan is not a qualified
student loan if (a) any of the proceeds
were used for other purposes, or (b) the
Student Loan Interest Deduction

The number of refunds that can be
directly deposited to a single account or
prepaid debit card is limited to three a
year. After this limit is reached, paper
checks will be sent instead. Learn more
at IRS.gov/DepositLimit.
Why Use Direct Deposit?
• You get your refund faster by direct
deposit than you do by check.
• Payment is more secure. There is no
check that can get lost or stolen.
• It is more convenient. You do not
have to make a trip to the bank to
deposit your check.
• It saves tax dollars. It costs the
government less to refund by direct
deposit.
IRA. You can have your refund (or part
of it) directly deposited to a traditional
IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP-IRA, but not a
SIMPLE IRA. You must establish the
IRA at a U.S. bank or other financial
institution in the United States before
you request direct deposit. Make sure
your direct deposit will be accepted.
You also must notify the trustee or
custodian of your account of the year to
which the deposit is to be applied
(unless the trustee or custodian will not
accept a deposit for 2018). If you do not,
the trustee or custodian can assume the
deposit is for the year during which you
are filing the return. For example, if you
file your 2018 return during 2019 and do
not notify the trustee or custodian in
advance, the trustee or custodian can
assume the deposit to your IRA is for
2019. If you designate your deposit to
be for 2018, you must verify that the
deposit was actually made to the
account by the due date of the return
(not counting extensions). If the deposit
is not made by that date, the deposit is
not an IRA contribution for 2018.
You may be able to contribute
up to $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50
CAUTION or older at the end of 2018) to a
traditional IRA or Roth IRA for 2018.
You may owe a penalty if your
contributions exceed these limits and
the limits may be lower depending on
your compensation and income. For
more information on IRA contributions,
see Pub. 590-A.
!
For more information on IRAs, see
Pub. 590-A and Pub. 590-B.
TreasuryDirect®. You can request a
deposit of your refund (or part of it) to a
TreasuryDirect® online account to buy
U.S. Treasury marketable securities and
savings bonds. For more information,
go to go.usa.gov/3KvcP.
Form 8888. You can have your refund
directly deposited into more than one
account or use it to buy up to $5,000 in
paper series I savings bonds. You do
not need a TreasuryDirect® account to
do this. For more information, see the
Form 8888 instructions.
Line 23b. The routing number must
be nine digits. The first two digits must
be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. On
the sample check, shown here, the
routing number is 250250025. Rufus
and Mary Maple would use that routing
number unless their financial institution
instructed them to use a different routing
number for direct deposits.
Ask your financial institution for the
correct routing number to enter on
line 23b if:
• The routing number on a deposit slip
is different from the routing number on
your checks,
• Your deposit is to a savings account
that does not allow you to write checks,
or
• Your checks state they are payable
through a financial institution different

Line 23c. Check the appropriate
box for the type of account. Do not
check more than one box. If the deposit
is to an account such as an IRA, health
savings account, brokerage account, or
other similar account, ask your financial
institution whether you should check the
“Checking” or “Savings” box. You must
check the correct box to ensure your
deposit is accepted. If your deposit is to
a TreasuryDirect® online account,
check the “Savings” box.
Line 23d. The account number can
be up to 17 characters (both numbers
and letters). Include hyphens but omit
spaces and special symbols. Enter the
number from left to right and leave any
unused boxes blank. On the sample
check, shown here, the account number
is 20202086. Do not include the check
number.
If the direct deposit to your
account(s) is different from the amount
you expected, you will receive an
explanation in the mail about 2 weeks
after your refund is deposited.
Reasons Your Direct Deposit
Request Will Be Rejected
If any of the following apply, your direct
deposit request will be rejected and a
check will be sent instead.
• The name on your account does not
match the name on the refund, and your
financial institution(s) will not allow a
refund to be deposited unless the name
on the refund matches the name on the
account.
• Three direct deposits of tax refunds
already have been made to the same
account or prepaid debit card.
• You have not given a valid account
number.
• You file your 2018 return after
November 30, 2019.
• Any numbers or letters on lines 23b
through 23d are crossed out or whited
out.
The IRS is not responsible for a
lost refund if you enter the
CAUTION wrong account information.
Check with your financial institution to
get the correct routing and account
numbers and to make sure your direct
deposit will be accepted.
!
Line 23e. If you want your refund
mailed to an address not listed on
page 1 of Form 1040NR-EZ, enter that
address on line 23e. See Foreign
address, earlier, for information on
entering a foreign address.
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
Note. If the address on page 1 is not in
the United States, you can enter an
address in the United States on
line 23e. However, if the address on
page 1 is in the United States, the IRS
cannot mail a refund to a different
address in the United States.

amount, if any, of the overpayment on
line 22 you want applied to your 2019
estimated tax.

Amount You Owe
To avoid interest and penalties,
TIP pay your taxes in full by the due
date of your return (not
including extensions). See When To
File, earlier. You do not have to pay if
line 25 is under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty from
line 26 in the amount you enter on
line 25. Do not include any estimated
tax payment for 2019 in this payment.
Instead, make the estimated tax
payment separately.
Bad check or payment. The penalty
for writing a bad check to the IRS is $25
or 2% of the check, whichever is more.
However, if the amount of the check is
less than $25, the penalty equals the
amount of the check. This penalty also
applies to other forms of payment if the
IRS does not receive the funds. Use Tax
Topic 206 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics.
Line 25—Amount you owe. The IRS
offers several payment options. You can
pay online, by phone, mobile device,
cash (maximum $1,000 per day and per
transaction), check, or money order. Go
to IRS.gov/Payments for payment
options.
Pay Online
The IRS offers an electronic payment
option that is right for you. Paying online
is convenient and secure and helps
make sure we get your payments on
time. To pay your taxes online or for
more information, go to IRS.gov/
Payments. You can pay using any of the
following methods.
• IRS Direct Pay for online transfers
from your checking or savings account
at a U.S. bank or other financial
institution in the United States at no cost
to you; go to IRS.gov/Payments.

• Pay by Card. To pay by debit or
credit card, go to IRS.gov/Payments. A
convenience fee is charged by these
service providers.
• Online Payment Agreement. If you
cannot pay in full by the due date of your
tax return, you can apply for an online
monthly installment agreement at
IRS.gov/OPA. Once you complete the
online process, you will receive
immediate notification of whether your
agreement has been approved. A user
fee is charged unless you are a
low-income taxpayer meeting certain
criteria.
• IRS2Go is the mobile application of
the IRS; you can access Direct Pay or
Pay by Card by downloading the
application.
Pay by Phone
Paying by phone is another safe and
secure method of paying electronically.
Use one of the following methods: (1)
call one of the debit or credit card

Installment agreement. Under an
installment agreement, you can pay all
or part of the tax you owe in monthly
installments. However, even if an
installment agreement is granted, you
will be charged interest and may be
charged a late payment penalty on the
tax not paid by the due date (not
counting extensions). You also must
pay a fee. To limit the interest and
penalty charges, pay as much of the tax
as possible when you file. But before
requesting an installment agreement,
you should consider other less costly
alternatives, such as a bank loan or
credit card payment.
To ask for an installment agreement,
you can apply online or use Form 9465.
To apply online, go to IRS.gov/OPA.
Extension of time to pay. If paying
the tax when it is due would cause you
an undue hardship, you can ask for an
extension of time to pay by filing Form
1127, Application for Extension of Time
for Payment of Tax Due to Undue
Hardship, on or before the due date (not
counting extensions) for filing your
return. An extension generally will not
be granted for more than 6 months. You
will be charged interest on the tax not
paid by the due date (not counting
extensions) for filing your return. You
must pay the tax before the extension
runs out. Penalties and interest will be
imposed until taxes are paid in full. For
the most up-to-date information on Form
1127, go to IRS.gov/Form1127.
Line 26—Estimated tax penalty. You
may owe this penalty if:
• Line 25 is at least $1,000 and it is
more than 10% of the tax shown on your
return, or
• You did not pay enough estimated tax
by any of the due dates. This is true
even if you are due a refund.
The “tax shown on your return” is the
amount on your 2018 Form 1040NR-EZ,
line 15.
Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2017 tax return was for a
tax year of 12 full months and either of
the following applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your
2017 return and you were a U.S. citizen
or resident for all of 2017.
2. Line 21 on your 2018 return is at
least 100% of the tax shown on your
2017 return. (But see Caution below.)
Your estimated tax payments for 2018
must have been made on time and for
the required amount.
If your 2017 AGI was over
$150,000 (over $75,000 if you
CAUTION checked filing status box 2 for
2017), item (2) applies only if line 21 on
your 2018 tax return is at least 110% of
the tax shown on your 2017 return. This
rule does not apply to farmers and
fishermen.
!
For most people, the “tax shown on
your 2017 return” is the amount on your
2017 Form 1040NR-EZ, line 15.
Figuring the penalty. If the
exception above does not apply and
you choose to figure the penalty
yourself, see Form 2210 to find out if
you owe the penalty. If you do, you can
use the form to figure the amount.
Enter the penalty on line 26. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the
total on line 25.
However, if you have an
overpayment on line 22, subtract the
penalty from the amount you otherwise
would enter on line 23a or line 24. The
total of lines 23a, 24, and 26 must equal
line 22.
If the penalty is more than the
overpayment on line 22, enter -0- on
lines 23a and 24. Then subtract line 22
from line 26 and enter the result on
line 25.
Do not file Form 2210 with your
return unless Form 2210 indicates that
you must do so. Instead, keep it for your
records.
Because Form 2210 is
TIP complicated, you can leave
line 26 blank and the IRS will
figure the penalty and send you a bill.
We will not charge you interest on the
penalty if you pay by the date specified
on the bill. If your income varied during
the year, the annualized income
installment method may reduce the
amount of your penalty. But you must
file Form 2210 because the IRS cannot
figure your penalty under this method.
See the Instructions for Form 2210 for
other situations in which you may be
able to lower your penalty by filing Form
2210.
Third Party Designee
If you want to allow your preparer, a
friend, family member, or any other
person you choose to discuss your
2018 tax return with the IRS, check the
“Yes” box in the “Third Party Designee”
area of your return. Also, enter the
designee's name, U.S. phone number,
and any five digits the designee
chooses as his or her personal
identification number (PIN).
If you check the “Yes” box, you are
authorizing the IRS to call the designee
to answer any questions that may arise
during the processing of your return.
You also are authorizing the designee
to:
• Give the IRS any information that is
missing from your return;
• Call the IRS for information about the
processing of your return or the status of
your refund or payment(s);
• Receive copies of notices or
transcripts related to your return, upon
request; and
• Respond to certain IRS notices about
math errors, offsets, and return
preparation.
You are not authorizing the designee
to receive any refund check, bind you to
anything (including any additional tax
liability), or otherwise represent you
before the IRS. If you want to expand
the designee's authorization, see Pub.
-12-
947, Practice Before the IRS and Power
of Attorney.
The authorization will automatically
end no later than the due date (not
counting extensions) for filing your 2019
tax return (see When To File, earlier). If
you want to revoke the authorization
before it ends, see Pub. 947.
Sign Your Return
Form 1040NR-EZ is not considered a
valid return unless you sign it. Be sure to
date your return and enter your
occupation in the United States. If you
have someone prepare your return, you
are still responsible for the correctness
of the return. If your return is signed by a
representative for you, you must have a
power of attorney attached that
specifically authorizes the
representative to sign your return. To do
this, you can use Form 2848.
You can have an agent in the United
States prepare and sign your return if
you could not do so for one of the
following reasons.
• You were ill.
• You were not in the United States at
any time during the 60 days before the
return was due.
• Other reasons approved by the IRS,
which you explain in writing to:

Child's return. If your child cannot sign
his or her return, either parent can sign
the child's name in the space provided.
Then enter “By (your signature), parent
for minor child.”
Paid preparer must sign your return.
Generally, anyone you pay to prepare
your return must sign it and include their
Preparer Tax Identification Number
(PTIN) in the space provided. The
preparer must give you a copy of the
return for your records. Someone who
prepares your return but does not
charge you should not sign your return.
Identity Protection PIN
For 2018, if you received an Identity
Protection Personal Identification
Number (IP PIN) from the IRS, enter it in
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
the IP PIN spaces provided next to your
occupation in the United States. You
must correctly enter all six numbers of
your IP PIN. If you did not receive an IP
PIN, leave these spaces blank.
If you were not present in the United
States on the last day of the tax year,
and you have no U.S. immigration
status, enter “Not present in U.S.—No
U.S. immigration status.”
New IP PINs are issued every
year. Enter the latest IP PIN you
CAUTION received. IP PINs for 2018 tax
returns generally were sent in
December 2018.

for 2 years at this U.S. school. She
began teaching in September 2017 and
plans to continue teaching through May
2019. Sara's salary per school year is
$40,000. She plans to return to Italy in
June 2019 and resume her Italian
residence. For calendar year 2018, Sara
earned $40,000 from her teaching
position. She completes the table in
item J on her 2018 tax return as shown

entered the correct tax on line 15.
Check your math, especially when figuring
your taxable income, federal income tax
withheld, total payments, and refund or
amount you owe?
If you fail to report the required

check or money order? See the
instructions for line 25, earlier, for details.
File only one original return for the same
year, even if you have not gotten your
refund or have not heard from the IRS
since you filed? Filing more than one
original return for the same year or
sending in more than one copy of the
same return (unless we ask you to do so)

Income Tax Withholding and
Estimated Tax Payments for
2019
If the amount you owe or the amount
you overpaid is large, you may want to
file a new Form W-4 with your employer
to change the amount of income tax
withheld from your 2019 pay. For details
on how to complete Form W-4, see the
Instructions for Form 8233 and Notice
1392, Supplemental Form W-4
Instructions for Nonresident Aliens.
If you do not pay your tax through
withholding, or do not pay enough tax
that way, you might have to pay
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ (2018)
estimated tax. In general, you do not
have to make estimated tax payments if
you expect that your 2019 Form
1040NR-EZ will show a tax refund or a
tax balance due of less than $1,000. If
your total estimated tax for 2019 is
$1,000 or more, see Form 1040-ES
(NR). It has a worksheet you can use to
see if you have to make estimated tax
payments. However, if you expect to be
a resident of Puerto Rico during all of
2019 and you must pay estimated tax,
use Form 1040-ES. For more
information, see Pub. 505, Tax
Withholding and Estimated Tax, and
Pub. 519.
How Do You Get a Copy of Your
Tax Return Information?
Tax return transcripts are free and
generally are used to validate income
and tax filing status for mortgage
applications, student and small
business loan applications, and during
tax preparation. To get a free transcript:
• Visit IRS.gov/Transcript;
• Use Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ;
• If you are in the United States, call
1-800-908-9946; or
• If you are outside the United States,
call 267-941-1000 (English-speaking
only). This number is not toll free.
If you need a copy of your actual tax
return, use Form 4506. There is a fee for
each return requested. See Form 4506
for the current fee. If your main home,
principal place of business, or tax
records are located in a federally
declared disaster area, this fee will be
waived.
How Do You Amend Your Tax
Return?
File Form 1040X to change a return you
already filed. Also, use Form 1040X if
you filed Form 1040NR-EZ and you
should have filed Form 1040, or vice
versa. Generally, Form 1040X must be
filed within 3 years after the date the
original return was filed or within 2 years
after the date the tax was paid,
whichever is later. You may have more
time to file Form 1040X if you live in a
federally declared disaster area or you
are physically or mentally unable to
manage your financial affairs. See Pub.
519 and Pub. 556, Examination of
Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims for
Refund, for details.
Use the Where's-My-AmendedReturn application on IRS.gov to track
the status of your amended return. It
can take up to 3 weeks from the date
you mailed it to show up in our system.
-15-
Past Due Returns
If you or someone you know needs to
file past due tax returns, see Tax Topic
153 at IRS.gov/TaxTopics or go to
IRS.gov/Individuals for help in filing
those returns. Send the return to the
address that applies to you in the latest
Form 1040NR-EZ instructions. For
example, if you are filing a 2015 return
in 2019, use the address in Where To
File, earlier. However, if you got an IRS
notice, mail the return to the address in
the notice.
Interest and Penalties
You do not have to figure the amount of
any interest or penalties you may owe.
Because figuring these amounts can be
complicated, we will do it for you if you
want. We will send you a bill for any
amount due.
If you include interest or penalties
(other than the estimated tax penalty)
with your payment, identify and enter
the amount in the bottom margin of
Form 1040NR-EZ, page 1. Do not
include interest or penalties (other than
the estimated tax penalty) in the amount
you owe on line 25.
Interest. We will charge you interest on
taxes not paid by their due date, even if
an extension of time to file is granted.
We also will charge you interest on
penalties imposed for failure to file,
negligence, fraud, substantial valuation
misstatements, substantial
understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements. Interest is
charged on the penalty from the due
date of the return (including extensions).
Penalty for late filing. If you do not file
your return by the due date (including
extensions), the penalty is usually 5% of
the amount due for each month or part
of a month your return is late, unless
you have a reasonable explanation. If
you do, include it with your return. The
penalty can be as much as 25% of the
tax due. The penalty is 15% per month,
up to a maximum of 75%, if the failure to
file is fraudulent. If your return is more
than 60 days late, the minimum penalty
will be $210 or the amount of any tax
you owe, whichever is smaller.
Penalty for late payment of tax. If
you pay your taxes late, the penalty is
usually 1/2 of 1% of the unpaid amount
for each month or part of a month the
tax is not paid. The penalty can be as
much as 25% of the unpaid amount. It
applies to any unpaid tax on the return.
This penalty is in addition to interest
charges on late payments.
Penalty for frivolous return. In
addition to any other penalties, the law
imposes a penalty of $5,000 for filing a
frivolous return. A frivolous return is one
that does not contain information
needed to figure the correct tax or
shows a substantially incorrect tax
because you take a frivolous position or
desire to delay or interfere with the tax
laws. This includes altering or striking
out the preprinted language above the
space where you sign. For a list of
positions identified as frivolous, see
Notice 2010-33, 2010-17 I.R.B. 609,
available at
IRS.gov/irb/2010-17_IRB/ar13.html.
Other penalties. Other penalties can
be imposed for negligence, substantial
understatement of tax, reportable
transaction understatements, filing an
erroneous refund claim, and fraud.
Criminal penalties may be imposed for
willful failure to file, tax evasion, making
a false statement, or identity theft. See
Pub. 519 for details on some of these
penalties.
How Long Should Records Be
Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return,
worksheets you used, and records of all
items appearing on it (such as Forms
W-2, 1042-S, and 1099) until the statute
of limitations runs out for that return.
Usually, this is 3 years from the date the
return was due or filed or 2 years from
the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. You should keep some records
longer. For example, keep property
records (including those on your home)
as long as they are needed to figure the
basis of the original or replacement
property. For more details, see
chapter 1 of Pub. 17.
Secure Your Tax Records From
Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone
uses your personal information, such as
your name, social security number
(SSN) or individual taxpayer
identification number (ITIN), or other
identifying information, without your
permission, to commit fraud or other
crimes. An identity thief may use your
SSN to get a job or may file a tax return
using your SSN to receive a refund.
To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN or ITIN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting
your SSN or ITIN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax
preparer.
If your tax records are affected by
identity theft and you receive a notice
from the IRS, respond right away to the
name and phone number printed on the
IRS notice or letter. For more
information, see Pub. 5027, Identity
Theft Information for Taxpayers.
If your SSN has been lost or stolen or
you suspect you are a victim of
tax-related identity theft, visit IRS.gov/
IdentityTheft to learn what steps to take.
Victims of identity theft who are
experiencing economic harm or a
systemic problem, or are seeking help in
resolving tax problems that have not
been resolved through normal channels,
may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate
Service (TAS) assistance. You can
reach TAS by calling the National
Taxpayer Advocate helpline at
1-877-777-4778. People who are deaf
or hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability and who have access to
TTY/TDD equipment can call
1-800-829-4059. People who are deaf
or hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability also can contact the IRS
through relay services such as the
Federal Relay Service available at
www.gsa.gov/fedrelay.
legitimate business emails and
websites. The most common form is
sending an email to a user falsely
claiming to be an established legitimate
enterprise in an attempt to scam the
user into surrendering private
information that will be used for identity
theft.
The IRS does not initiate contacts
with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS
does not request detailed personal
information through email or ask
taxpayers for the PIN numbers,
passwords, or similar secret access
information for their credit card, bank, or
other financial accounts.
If you receive an unsolicited email
claiming to be from the IRS, forward the
message to phishing@irs.gov. You also
may report misuse of the IRS name,
logo, forms, or other IRS property to the
Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration toll free at
1-800-366-4484. People who are deaf
or hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability and who have access to
TTY/TDD equipment can call
1-800-877-8339. You can forward
suspicious emails to the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) at spam@uce.gov or
report them at ftc.gov/complaint. You
can contact them at ftc.gov/idtheft or
1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). If
you have been a victim of identity theft,
see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub.
5027. People who are deaf or hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability and
who have access to TTY/TDD
equipment can call 1-866-653-4261.
Visit IRS.gov and enter “identity theft”
in the search box to learn more about
identity theft and how to reduce your
risk.
Protect yourself from suspicious
emails or phishing schemes.
Phishing is the creation and use of email
and websites designed to mimic
W-2 verification code. A “verification
code” box will appear on Form W-2, but
not all W-2s will have the 16-digit code
in box 9. Do not enter the verification
code on your Form 1040NR-EZ.

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 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.

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2018, the taxpayer's personal
representative may have to file and sign
a return for that taxpayer. A personal
representative can be an executor,
administrator, or anyone who is in
charge of the deceased taxpayer's
property. If the deceased taxpayer did
not have to file a return but had tax
withheld, a return must be filed to get a
refund. The person who files the return
must enter “Deceased,” the deceased
taxpayer's name, and the date of death
across the top of the return. If this
information is not provided, it may delay
the processing of the return.
The personal representative should
promptly notify all payers of income,
including financial institutions, of the
taxpayer's death. This will ensure the
proper reporting of income earned by
the taxpayer's estate or heirs. A
deceased taxpayer's SSN or ITIN
should not be used for tax years after
the year of death, except for estate tax
return purposes.
Claiming a refund for a deceased
taxpayer. If you are a court-appointed
representative, file Form 1040NR-EZ for
the decedent and include a copy of the
certificate that shows your appointment.
All other filers requesting the deceased
taxpayer's refund, including the
deceased taxpayer's spouse, must file
the return and attach Form 1310.

relating to a form or its instructions must
be retained as long as their contents
may become material in the
administration of any Internal Revenue
law.
Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as required
by section 6103. However, section 6103
allows or requires the IRS to disclose or
give the information to others. For
example, we may disclose your tax
information to the Department of Justice
to enforce the tax laws, both civil and
criminal, and to cities, states, the District
of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths
or possessions to carry out their tax
laws. We may disclose this information
to the Department of Treasury and
contractors for tax administration
purposes; and to other persons as
necessary to obtain information to
determine the amount of or to collect the
tax you owe. We may disclose this
information to the Comptroller General
of the United States to permit review of
the IRS. We may disclose this
information to Committees of Congress;
federal, state, and local child support
agencies; and to other federal agencies
for purposes of determining entitlement
for benefits or the eligibility for and the
repayment of loans. We may also
disclose this information to other
countries under a tax treaty, to federal
and state agencies to enforce federal
nontax criminal laws, or to federal law
enforcement and intelligence agencies
to combat terrorism.
Keep this notice with your records. It
may help you if we ask for other
information. If you have any questions
about the rules for filing and giving
information, call or visit any IRS office.
We welcome comments on forms. If
you have suggestions for making this
form simpler, we would be happy to

Estimates of taxpayer burden. The
table below shows burden estimates as
of September 2018 for taxpayers filing a
2018 Form 1040NR-EZ tax return.

Average
Time
Burden
(Hours)
$70
* Dollars rounded to the nearest $10.
Reported time and cost burdens are
national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a “typical” case. The
estimated average time burden for all
taxpayers filing a Form 1040NR-EZ is 7
hours, with an average cost of $70 per
return. This average includes all related
forms and schedules, across all
preparation methods and taxpayer
activities. There may be significant
variation in taxpayer activity within this
estimate.
Out-of-pocket costs include any
expenses incurred by taxpayers to
prepare and submit their tax returns.
Examples include tax return preparation
and submission fees, postage and
photocopying costs, and tax preparation
software costs. Tax preparation fees
vary widely depending on the tax
situation of the taxpayer, the type of
professional preparer, and the
geographic area.
If you have comments concerning the
time and cost estimates above, you can
contact us at either one of the
addresses shown under We welcome
comments on forms, earlier.
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 Internal Revenue Service 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 the 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 at
TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/Contact-Us. You can also call them at 877-777-4778.
How else does the 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 also has a website, Tax Reform Changes, which shows you how the new tax law may change your future tax filings and
helps you plan for these changes. The information is categorized by tax topic in the order of the IRS Form 1040. Go to
TaxChanges.us for more information.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the IRS. LITCs represent individuals whose income is below a
certain level and need to resolve tax problems with the IRS, such as audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes. In addition,
clinics 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 a clinic near you,
see the LITC page at TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/LITCmap or IRS Pub. 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This
publication is also available online at IRS.gov or by calling the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-3676.

Tax Table
Example. Mr. Brown is single. His taxable income on line 14
of Form 1040NR-EZ is $23,250. First, he finds the $23,250 –
23,300 income line. Next, he finds the “Single” column and
reads down the column. The amount shown where the
income line and filing status column meet is $2,603. This is
the tax amount he should enter on line 15 of Form
1040NR-EZ.
