Course Description

Form 1040NR, U.S. Non-Resident Alien Income Tax Return, presents several daunting challenges for tax advisers and compliance professionals. Just deciding whether a foreign person needs to file a Form 1040NR is unclear. The adviser's determination of whether a person is a resident alien, non-resident alien, dual-status alien, or undocumented alien is critical in this evaluation. Immigration laws impact the tax liability of non-resident aliens and individuals who are not citizens but reside in the United States.

Advisers must also know available elections, deductions, and limitations, how to report income and claim refunds, treatment of spouse and dependents, and filing due dates and non-compliance penalties. As with other foreign-related filings, the IRS imposes penalties for failure to timely file Form 1040NR even if the taxpayer has no tax liability. The 2017 tax reform law added new complications, particularly in treating fixed, determinable, annual, or periodic (FDAP) income. Also, international students in U.S. colleges and universities face reporting and tax requirements on previously non-taxable stipends.

Listen as our experienced instructor, Marc J. Strohl, CPA, provides a thorough and practical guide to identifying and meeting the unique challenges of preparing Form 1040NR, U.S. Non-Resident Alien Income Tax Return.

Learning Objectives:


  • Define a foreign investor

  • Identify source-of-income rules

  • Identify the impact of the 2017 tax reform law on non-resident filing requirements

  • Recognize who files Form 1040NR (non-resident alien standard, dual-resident taxpayers, dual-status taxpayers)
