Line Instructions for Form 1040NR

This is archived information that pertains only to the 2006 Tax Year. If you
are looking for information for the current tax year, go to the Tax Prep Help Area.

Table of Contents

Name, Address, and Identifying Number

Name. If you are filing Form 1040NR for an estate or trust, enter the name of the estate or trust. Attach a statement to Form 1040NR with your name, title, address, and the name and address of any U.S. grantors and beneficiaries. If you are filing Form 1040NR for an estate or trust engaged in a trade or business in the United States during 2006, give the names and addresses of all beneficiaries.

P.O. box. Enter your box number only if your post office does not deliver mail to your home.

Foreign address. Enter the information in the following order: City, province or state, and country. Follow the country's practice for entering the postal code. Do not abbreviate the country name.

Identifying number. If you are an individual, you generally are required to enter your social security number (SSN). To apply for this number, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration (SSA) office or call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. You can also download Form SS-5 from the SSA's website at www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.html. You must visit an SSA office in person and submit your Form SS-5 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 will also need to show your Form DS-2019. Generally, you will receive your card about 2 weeks after the SSA has all the evidence and information it needs.

If you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, you must apply for an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). For details on how to do so, see Form W-7 and its instructions. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to get an ITIN.

If you already have an ITIN, enter it wherever your SSN is requested on your tax return. If you are required to include another person's SSN on your return and that person does not have and cannot get an SSN, enter that person's ITIN.

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 are filing Form 1040NR for an estate or trust, enter the employer identification number (EIN) of the estate or trust. For details on how to get an EIN, see Form SS-4 and its instructions.

An incorrect or missing identifying number may increase your tax or reduce your refund.

Filing Status

The amount of your tax depends on your filing status. Before you decide which box to check, read the following explanations.

Were you single or married? If you were married on December 31, consider yourself married for the whole year. If you were single, divorced, or legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance on December 31, consider yourself single for the whole year. If you meet the tests described under Married persons who live apart below, you may consider yourself single for the whole year.

If your spouse died in 2006, consider yourself married to that spouse for the whole year, unless you remarried before the end of 2006.

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 or Mexico, or you are a married U.S. national, check the box on line 1. If you meet the tests below and you are a married resident of the Republic of Korea (South Korea), check the box on line 2.

You file a return separate from your spouse.
You paid more than half the cost to keep up your home in 2006.
You lived apart from your spouse during the last 6 months of 2006.
Your home was the main home of your child, stepchild, or foster child for more than half of 2006. Temporary absences, such as for school, vacation, or medical care, count as time lived in the home.
You are able to claim a dependency exemption for the child 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 of Claim to Exemption for Child of Divorced or Separated Parents.

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.

Line 6—Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. You can check the box on line 6 if all seven of the following apply.

You were a resident of Canada, Mexico, or the Republic of Korea (South Korea), or were a U.S. national.
Your spouse died in 2004 or 2005 and you did not remarry before the end of 2006.
You have a child or stepchild whom you claim as a dependent. This does not include a foster child.

You paid over half the cost of keeping up your home.
You were a resident alien or U.S. citizen the year your spouse died. This refers to your actual status, not the election that some nonresident aliens can make to be taxed as U.S. residents.
You were entitled to file a joint return with your spouse the year he or she died, even if you did not actually do so.

Exemptions

Exemptions for estates and trusts are described in the instructions for line 39 on page 18.

Residents of India who were students or business apprentices may be able to claim exemptions for their spouse and dependents. See Pub. 519 for details.

Line 7b—Spouse. If you checked filing status box 3 or 4, you can take an exemption for your spouse only if your spouse had no gross income for U.S. tax purposes and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another U.S. taxpayer's return. (You can do this even if your spouse died in 2006.) In addition, if you checked filing status box 4, your spouse must have lived with you in the United States at some time during 2006. Finally, your spouse must have an SSN or an ITIN. If your spouse is not eligible to obtain an SSN, he or she must apply for an ITIN. See Identifying number on page 8 for additional information.

Line 7c—Dependents. Only U.S. nationals and residents of Canada, Mexico, and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) can claim exemptions for their dependents. If you were a U.S. national or a resident of Canada or Mexico, you can claim exemptions for your children and other dependents on the same terms as U.S. citizens. See Pub. 501 for more details. If you were a resident of the Republic of Korea (South Korea), you can claim an exemption for any of your children who lived with you in the United States at some time during 2006. Be sure to complete item I on page 5 of the form.

You can take an exemption for each of your dependents. If you have more than four dependents, attach a statement to your return with the required information.

For additional information on whether you can claim an exemption for a dependent, see Exemptions for Dependents in Pub. 501.

Children who did not live with you due to divorce or separation. If you checked filing status box 1 or 3 and are claiming as a dependent a child who did not live with you under the rules for children of divorced or separated parents, attach Form 8332 or similar statement to your return. See Form 8332 for details.

Other dependent children. Include the total number of children who did not live with you for reasons other than divorce or separation on the line labeled “Dependents on 7c not entered above.”

Line 7c, column (2). You must enter each dependent's identifying number (SSN, ITIN, or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN)). If you do not enter the correct identifying number, at the time we process your return we may disallow the exemption claimed for the dependent and reduce or disallow any other tax benefits (such as the child tax credit) based on the dependent.

For details on how your dependent can get an identifying number, see Identifying number on page 8.

If your dependent child was born and died in 2006 and you do not have an identifying number for the child, you may attach a copy of the child's birth certificate instead and enter “Died” in column (2).

Adoption taxpayer identification numbers (ATINs). If you have a dependent who was placed with you by an authorized placement agency and you do not know his or her SSN, you must get an ATIN for the dependent from the IRS. An authorized placement agency includes any person authorized by state law to place children for legal adoption. See Form W-7A for details.

Line 7c, column (4). Check the box in this column if your dependent is a qualifying child for the child tax credit (defined below). If you have at least one qualifying child, you may be able to take the child tax credit on line 48 and the additional child tax credit on line 62.

Qualifying child for child tax credit. A qualifying child for purposes of the child tax credit is a child who:

Was under age 17 at the end of 2006.
Is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew).
Is a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or a resident alien.
Did not provide over half of his or her own support for 2006.
Lived with you more than half of 2006. Temporary absences, such as for school, vacation, or medical care, count as time lived in the home.

An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption.

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars

You may round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. 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.

Income Effectively Connected With U.S. Trade or Business

Pub. 519 explains how income is classified and what income you should report here. The instructions for this section assume you have decided that the income involved is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business in which you were engaged. But your decision may not be easy. Interest, for example, may be effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, it may not be, or it may be tax-exempt. The tax status of income also depends on its source. Under some circumstances, items of income from foreign sources are treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Other items are reportable as effectively connected or not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, depending on how you elect to treat them.

Line 8—Wages, salaries, tips, etc. Enter the total of your effectively connected wages, salaries, tips, etc. For most people, the amount to enter on this line should be shown in their Form(s) W-2, box 1. However, do not include on line 8 amounts exempted under a tax treaty. Instead, include these amounts on line 22 and complete item M on page 5 of Form 1040NR.

Services performed partly inside and partly outside the United States. If you performed services as an employee both inside and outside the United States, you must allocate your compensation between U.S. and non-U.S. sources. Only the U.S. source income is included on line 8 as effectively connected wages.

Compensation (other than certain fringe benefits) generally is sourced on a time basis. To figure your U.S. source income, divide the number of days you performed labor or personal services within the United States by the total number of days you performed labor or personal services within and without the United States. Multiply the result by your total compensation (other than certain fringe benefits).

Certain fringe benefits (such as housing and educational expenses) are sourced on a geographic basis. The source of the fringe benefit compensation generally is your principal place of work. The amount of the fringe benefit compensation must be reasonable and you must keep records that are adequate to support the fringe benefit compensation.

However, you may be able to use an alternative basis to determine the source of your compensation if the alternative basis more properly determines the source of the compensation. For 2006, if your total compensation is $250,000 or more and you allocate your compensation using an alternative basis, check the box in item R on page 5. In addition, attach to Form 1040NR a statement that contains the following information.

The specific compensation or the specific fringe benefit for which an alternative basis is used.
For each such item, the alternative basis of allocation of source used.
For each such item, a computation showing how the alternative allocation was computed.
A comparison of the dollar amount of the compensation sourced within and without the United States under both the alternative basis and the time or geographical basis for determining the source.

You must keep documentation showing why the alternative basis more properly determines the source of the compensation.

Also include on line 8:

Wages received as a household employee for which you did not receive a Form W-2 because your employer paid you less than $1,500 in 2006. Also, enter “HSH” and the amount not reported on a Form W-2 on the dotted line next to line 8.
Tip income you did not report to your employer. Also include allocated tips shown on your Form(s) W-2 unless you can prove that you received less. Allocated tips should be shown in your Form(s) W-2, box 8. They are not included as income in box 1. See Pub. 531 for more details.

You may owe social security and Medicare tax on unreported or allocated tips. See the instructions for line 54 on page 21.
Dependent care benefits, which should be shown in your Form(s) W-2, box 10. But first complete Form 2441 to see if you can exclude part or all of the benefits.
Employer-provided adoption benefits, which should be shown in your Form(s) W-2, box 12, with code T. You also may be able to exclude amounts if you adopted a child with special needs and the adoption became final in 2006. See the Instructions for Form 8839 to find out if you can exclude part or all of the benefits.
Excess salary deferrals. The amount deferred should be shown in your Form W-2, box 12, and the “Retirement plan” box in box 13 should be checked. If the total amount you deferred for 2006 under all plans was more than $15,000 (excluding catch-up contributions as explained below), include the excess on line 8. This limit is (a) $10,000 if you only have SIMPLE plans, or (b) $18,000 for section 403(b) plans, if you qualify for the 15-year rule in Pub. 571. Although designated Roth contributions are subject to this limit, do not include the excess attributable to such contributions on line 8. They already are included as income in box 1 of your Form W-2.

A higher limit may apply to participants in section 457(b) deferred compensation plans for the 3 years before retirement age. Contact your plan administrator for more information.

If you were age 50 or older at the end of 2006, your employer may have allowed an additional deferral of up to $5,000 ($2,500 for SIMPLE plans). This additional deferral amount is not subject to the overall limit on elective deferrals.

You cannot deduct the amount deferred. It is not included as income in your Form W-2,
box 1.
Disability pensions shown on Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R if you have not reached the minimum retirement age set by your employer. Disability pensions received after you reach that age and other payments shown on Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R (other than payments from an IRA*) are reported on lines 17a and 17b. Payments from an IRA are reported on lines 16a and 16b.
Corrective distributions from a retirement plan shown on Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R of excess salary deferrals and excess contributions (plus earnings). But do not include distributions from an IRA* on line 8. Instead, report distributions from an IRA on lines 16a and 16b.

*This includes a Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA.

Missing or incorrect Form W-2. Your employer is required to provide or send Form W-2 to you no later than January 31, 2007. If you do not receive it by early February, ask your employer for it. Even if you do not get a Form W-2, you still must report your earnings on line 8. If you lose your Form W-2 or it is incorrect, ask your employer for a new one.

Line 9a—Taxable interest. Report on line 9a all of your taxable interest income from assets effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

If you received interest not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, report it on Form 1040NR, page 4, unless it is tax exempt under a treaty and the withholding agent did not withhold tax on the payment. If the interest is tax exempt under a treaty, complete item M on page 5.

See Pub. 901 for a quick reference guide to the provisions of U.S. tax treaties.

In addition, interest from a U.S. bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or similar institution, and from certain deposits with U.S. insurance companies, is tax exempt to a nonresident alien if it is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

Interest credited in 2006 on deposits that you could not withdraw because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the financial institution may not have to be included in your 2006 income. For details, see Pub. 550.

Line 9b—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, report the amount on line 9b. Include any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company. Do not include interest earned on your IRA 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.

Line 10a—Ordinary dividends. Enter your total ordinary dividends from assets effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Each payer should send you a Form 1099-DIV.

Capital gain distributions. If you received any capital gain distributions, see the instructions for line 14 on page 12.

Nondividend distributions. Some distributions are a return of your cost (or other basis). They will not be taxed until you recover your cost (or other basis). You must reduce your cost (or other basis) by these distributions. After you get back all of your cost (or other basis), you must report these distributions as capital gains on Schedule D (Form 1040). For details, see Pub. 550.

Dividends on insurance policies are a partial return of the premiums you paid. Do not report them as dividends. Include them in income only if they exceed the total of all net premiums you paid for the contract.

Line 10b—Qualified dividends. Enter your total qualified dividends on line 10b. Qualified dividends are eligible for a lower tax rate than other ordinary income. Generally, these dividends are shown in your Form(s) 1099-DIV, box 1b. See Pub. 550 for the definition of qualified dividends if you received dividends not reported on Form 1099-DIV.

Exception. Some dividends may be reported as qualified dividends in Form 1099-DIV, box 1b, but are not qualified dividends. These include:

Dividends you received as a nominee. See chapter 1 in Pub. 550.
Dividends you received on any share of stock that you held for less than 61 days during the 121-day period that began 60 days before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the first date following the declaration of a dividend on which the purchaser of a stock is not entitled to receive the next dividend payment. When counting the number of days you held the stock, include the day you disposed of the stock but not the day you acquired it. See the examples below. However, you cannot count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details.
Dividends attributable to periods totaling more than 366 days that you received on any share of preferred stock held for less than 91 days during the 181-day period that began 90 days before the ex-dividend date. When counting the number of days you held the stock, you cannot count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details. Preferred dividends attributable to periods totaling less than 367 days are subject to the 61-day holding period rule above.
Dividends on any share of stock to the extent that you are under an obligation (including a short sale) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.
Payments in lieu of dividends, but only if you know or have reason to know that the payments are not qualified dividends.

Example 1. You bought 5,000 shares of XYZ Corp. common stock on June 29, 2006. XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of 10 cents per share. The ex-dividend date was July 7, 2006. Your Form 1099-DIV from XYZ Corp. shows $500 in box 1a (ordinary dividends) and in box 1b (qualified dividends). However, you sold the 5,000 shares on August 2, 2006. You held your shares of XYZ Corp. for only 34 days of the 121-day period (from June 30, 2006, through August 2, 2006). The 121-day period began on May 8, 2006 (60 days before the ex-dividend date), and ended on September 5, 2006. You have no qualified dividends from XYZ Corp. because you held the XYZ stock for less than 61 days.

Example 2. Assume the same facts as in Example 1 except that you bought the stock on July 6, 2006 (the day before the ex-dividend date), and you sold the stock on September 7, 2006. You held the stock for 63 days (from July 7, 2006, through September 7, 2006). The $500 of qualified dividends shown in Form 1099-DIV, box 1b, are all qualified dividends because you held the stock for 61 days of the 121-day period (from July 7, 2006, through September 5, 2006).

Example 3. You bought 10,000 shares of ABC Mutual Fund common stock on June 29, 2006. ABC Mutual Fund paid a cash dividend of 10 cents a share. The ex-dividend date was July 7, 2006. The ABC Mutual Fund advises you that the portion of the dividend eligible to be treated as qualified dividends equals 2 cents per share. Your Form 1099-DIV from ABC Mutual Fund shows total ordinary dividends of $1,000 and qualified dividends of $200. However, you sold the 10,000 shares on August 2, 2006. You have no qualified dividends from ABC Mutual Fund because you held the ABC Mutual Fund stock for less than 61 days.

Be sure you use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or the Schedule D Tax Worksheet, whichever applies, to figure your tax. Your tax may be less. See the instructions for line 41 beginning on page 18 for details.

Line 11—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 2006, you may receive a Form 1099-G. If you chose to apply part or all of the refund to your 2006 estimated state or local income tax, the amount applied is treated as received in 2006.

For details on how to figure the amount you must report as income, see Recoveries in Pub. 525.

Line 12—Scholarship and fellowship grants. If you received a scholarship or fellowship, part or all of it may be taxable.

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. Also, amounts received in the form of a scholarship or fellowship that are payment for teaching, research, or other services are generally taxable as wages even if the services were required to get the grant.

If the grant was reported on
Form(s) 1042-S, you must generally include the amount shown in Form(s) 1042-S, box 2, on line 12. However, if any or all of that amount is exempt by treaty, do not include the treaty-exempt amount on line 12. Instead, include the treaty-exempt amount on line 22 and complete item M on page 5 of Form 1040NR.

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 Pub. 970.

Example 1. You are a citizen of a country that has not negotiated a tax treaty 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. The total amounts you received from ABC University during 2006 are as follows:

	Tuition and fees	$25,000
	Books, supplies, and equipment	1,000
	Room and board	9,000
		$35,000

The Form 1042-S you received from ABC University for 2006 shows $9,000 in box 2 and $1,260 (14% of $9,000) in box 7.

Box 2 shows only $9,000 because withholding agents (such as ABC University) are not required to report section 117 amounts (tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment) on Form 1042-S.

When completing Form 1040NR:

Enter on line 12 the $9,000 shown in box 2 of Form 1042-S.
Enter $0 on line 30. 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 12 of Form 1040NR), you cannot exclude any of the section 117 amounts on line 30.
Include on line 59 the $1,260 shown in box 7 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 negotiated a tax treaty with the United States and you were a resident of that country immediately before leaving for the United States to attend ABC University. Also, assume that, under the terms of the tax treaty, all of your scholarship income is exempt from tax because ABC University is a nonprofit educational organization.

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. See the instructions for item M on page 29 for details.

When completing Form 1040NR:

Enter $0 on line 12. The $9,000 reported to you in box 2 of
Form 1042-S is reported on line 22 (not line 12).
Enter $9,000 on line 22.
Enter $0 on line 30. 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 30.
Include on line 59 any withholding shown in box 7 of Form 1042-S.
Provide all the required information in item M on page 5.

Line 13—Business income or (loss). If you operated a business or practiced your profession as a sole proprietor, report your effectively connected income and expenses on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040).

Include any income you received as a dealer in stocks, securities, and commodities through your U.S. office. If you dealt in these items through an independent agent, such as a U.S. broker, custodian, or commissioned agent, your income may not be considered effectively connected with a U.S. business.

Line 14—Capital gain or (loss). If you had effectively connected capital gains or losses, including any effectively connected capital gain distributions, or a capital loss carryover from 2005, you must complete and attach Schedule D (Form 1040). But see the Exception below. Enter the effectively connected gain or (loss) from Schedule D (Form 1040) on line 14.

Gains and losses from disposing of U.S. real property interests are reported on Schedule D (Form 1040) and included on line 14 of Form 1040NR. See Dispositions of U.S. Real Property Interests on page 6.

Exception. You do not have to file Schedule D (Form 1040) if both of the following apply.

The only amounts you have to report on Schedule D (Form 1040) are effectively connected capital gain distributions from Form(s) 1099-DIV, box 2a, or substitute statements.
None of the Form(s) 1099-DIV or substitute statements have an amount in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain).

If both of the above apply, enter your effectively connected capital gain distributions (from box 2a of Form(s) 1099-DIV) on line 14 and check the box on that line. If you received capital gain distributions as a nominee (that is, they were paid to you but actually belong to someone else), report on line 14 only the amount that belongs to you. Attach a statement showing the full amount you received and the amount you received as a nominee. See chapter 1 of Pub. 550 for filing requirements for Forms 1099-DIV and 1096.

If you do not have to file Schedule D (Form 1040), be sure you use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet on page 19 to figure your tax. Your tax may be less if you use this worksheet.

Line 15—Other gains or (losses). If you sold or exchanged assets used in a U.S. trade or business, see the Instructions for Form 4797.

Lines 16a and 16b—IRA distributions. You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the amount of any distribution from your individual retirement arrangement (IRA). Unless otherwise noted in the line 16a and 16b instructions, an IRA includes a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA, and a savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRA. Except as provided below, leave line 16a blank and enter the total distribution on
line 16b.

Special rules may apply if you received a distribution from your IRA, and your main home was in the Hurricane Katrina, Rita, or Wilma disaster areas. See Form 8915 and its instructions for details.

Exception 1. Enter the total distribution on line 16a if you rolled over part or all of the distribution from one:

IRA to another IRA of the same type (for example, from one traditional IRA to another traditional IRA), or
SEP or SIMPLE IRA to a traditional IRA.

Also, enter “Rollover” next to line 16b. If the total distribution was rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter -0- on line 16b. If the total distribution was not rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter the part not rolled over on line 16b unless Exception 2 applies to the part not rolled over. Generally, a qualified rollover must be made within 60 days after the day you received the distribution. For more details on rollovers, see Pub. 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).

If you rolled over the distribution (a) in 2007, or (b) from an IRA into a qualified plan (other than an IRA), attach a statement explaining what you did.

Exception 2. If any of the following apply, enter the total distribution on
line 16a and see Form 8606 and its instructions to figure the amount to enter on line 16b.

You received a distribution from an IRA (other than a Roth IRA) and you made nondeductible contributions to any of your traditional or SEP IRAs for 2006 or an earlier year. If you made nondeductible contributions to these IRAs for 2006, also see Pub. 590.
You received a distribution from a Roth IRA. But if either 1 or 2 below applies, enter -0- on line 16b; you do not have to see Form 8606 or its instructions.
1. Distribution code T is shown in Form 1099-R, box 7, and you made a contribution (including a conversion) to a Roth IRA for 2001 or an earlier year.
2. Distribution code Q is shown in Form 1099-R, box 7.
You converted part or all of a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA in 2006.
You had a 2005 or 2006 IRA contribution returned to you, with the related earnings or less any loss, by the due date (including extensions) of your tax return for that year.
You made excess contributions to your IRA for an earlier year and had them returned to you in 2006.
You recharacterized part or all of a contribution to a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or vice versa.

Exception 3. If the distribution is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), enter the total distribution on line 16a. If the total amount distributed is a QCD, enter -0- on line 16b. If only part of the distribution is a QCD, enter the part that is not a QCD on line 16b unless Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter “QCD” next to line 16b.

A QCD is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your IRA (other than a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions (with certain exceptions). You must have been at least age 70½ when the distribution was made. Your total QCDs for the year cannot be more than $100,000. The amount of the QCD is limited to the amount that otherwise would be included in your income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contributions, the distribution first is considered to be paid out of otherwise taxable income. See Pub. 590 for details.

You cannot claim a charitable contribution deduction for any QCD not included in your income.

If you received more than one distribution, figure the taxable amount of each distribution and enter the total of the taxable amounts on line 16b. Enter the total amount of those distributions on line 16a.

You may have to pay an additional tax if (a) you received an early distribution from your IRA and the total was not rolled over, or (b) you were born before July 1, 1935, and received less than the minimum required distribution from your traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs. See the instructions for line 55 on page 21 for details.

Lines 17a and 17b—Pensions and annuities. Use lines 17a and 17b to report effectively connected pension and annuity payments you received. You should receive a Form 1042-S or 1099-R showing the amount of your pension and annuity payments. For details on rollovers and lump-sum distributions, see pages 14 and 15. But if this income is not effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business, report it on line 82.

Special rules may apply if you received a distribution from a profit-sharing or retirement plan, and your main home was in the Hurricane Katrina, Rita, or Wilma disaster areas. See Form 8915 and its instructions for details.

Do not include the following payments on lines 17a and 17b. Instead, report them on line 8.

Disability pensions received before you reach the minimum retirement age set by your employer.
Corrective distributions (including any earnings) of excess salary deferrals or excess contributions to retirement plans. The plan must advise you of the year(s) the distributions are includible in income.

If you received a Form 1042-S or 1099-R that shows federal income tax withheld, attach it to Form 1040NR.

Some annuities are tax-exempt. See chapter 3 of Pub. 519.

If you performed services in the United States, your income generally is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. (See section 864 for details and exceptions.) When you receive a pension in a later year as a result of effectively connected services, the pension also may be considered effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

Fully taxable pensions and annuities. If your pension or annuity is fully taxable, enter it on line 17b; do not make an entry on line 17a. Your payments are fully taxable if (a) you did not contribute to the cost (defined on page 14) of your pension or annuity, or (b) you got your entire cost back tax free before 2006.

If you received a Form RRB-1099-R, see Pub. 575 for information on how to report your benefits.

Partially taxable pensions and annuities. Enter the total pension or annuity payments you received in 2006 on line 17a. If your Form 1042-S or Form 1099-R does not show the taxable amount, you must use the General Rule explained in Pub. 939 to figure the taxable part to enter on line 17b. But if your annuity starting date (defined on page 14) was after July 1, 1986, see Simplified method on page 14 to find out if you must use that method to figure the taxable part.

You can ask the IRS to figure the taxable part for you for a $380 fee. For details, see Pub. 939.

If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable amount, you can report that amount on line 17b. But you may be able to report a lower taxable amount by using the General Rule or the Simplified Method. If you received Form 1042-S, you must figure the taxable part by using the General Rule or the Simplified Method.

Annuity starting date. Your annuity starting date is the later of the first day of the first period for which you received a payment or the date the plan's obligations became fixed.

Simplified method. You must use the Simplified Method if (a) your annuity starting date (defined above) was after July 1, 1986, and you used this method last year to figure the taxable part, or (b) your annuity starting date was after November 18, 1996, and both of the following apply.

The payments are from a qualified employee plan, a qualified employee annuity, or a tax-sheltered annuity.
On your annuity starting date, either you were under age 75 or the number of years of guaranteed payments was fewer than 5. See Pub. 575 for the definition of guaranteed payments.

If you must use the Simplified Method, complete the worksheet on this page to figure the taxable part of your pension or annuity. For more details on the Simplified Method, see Pub. 575.

111-120				360
121-130				310
131-140				260
141 or older				210

Age (or combined ages) at annuity starting date. If you are the retiree, use your age on the annuity starting date. If you are the survivor of a retiree, use the retiree's age on his or her annuity starting date. But if your annuity starting date was after 1997 and the payments are for your life and that of your beneficiary, use your combined ages on the annuity starting date.

If you are the beneficiary of an employee who died, see Pub. 575. If there is more than one beneficiary, see Pub. 575 to figure each beneficiary's taxable amount.

Cost. Your cost is generally your net investment in the plan as of the annuity starting date. It does not include pre-tax contributions. Your net investment should be shown in Form 1099-R, box 9b, for the first year you received payments from the plan. You must figure your net investment if you received Form 1042-S.

Rollovers. Generally, a qualified rollover is a tax-free distribution of cash or other assets from one retirement plan that is contributed to another plan within 60 days of receiving the distribution. Use lines 17a and 17b to report a qualified rollover, including a direct rollover, from one qualified employer's plan to another or to an IRA or SEP.

Enter on line 17a the total distribution before income tax or other deductions were withheld. This amount should be shown in Form 1099-R, box 1, or Form 1042-S, box 2. From the total on line 17a, subtract any contributions (usually shown in box 5 of Form 1099-R or figured by you if you received Form 1042-S) that were taxable to you when made. From that result, subtract the amount of the qualified rollover. Enter the remaining amount, even if zero, on line 17b. Also enter “Rollover” next to line 17b.

Special rules apply to partial rollovers of property. For more details on rollovers, including distributions under qualified domestic relations orders, see Pub. 575.

Lump-sum distributions. If you received a lump-sum distribution from a profit-sharing or retirement plan, your Form 1099-R should have the “Total distribution” box in box 2b checked. You need to determine this on your own if you received Form 1042-S. You may owe an additional tax if you received an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount was not rolled over in a qualified rollover. For details, see the instructions for line 55 on page 21.

Enter the total distribution on line 17a and the taxable part on line 17b.

You may be able to pay less tax on the distribution if you were born before January 2, 1936, or you are the beneficiary of a deceased employee who was born before January 2, 1936. For details, see Form 4972.

Line 20—Unemployment compensation. You should receive a Form 1099-G showing the total unemployment compensation paid to you in 2006.

If you received an overpayment of unemployment compensation in 2006 and you repaid any of it in 2006, subtract the amount you repaid from the total amount you received. Enter the result on line 20. Also, enter “Repaid” and the amount you repaid on the dotted line next to line 20. If, in 2006, you repaid unemployment compensation that you included in gross income in an earlier year, you can deduct the amount repaid on Schedule A (Form 1040NR), line 11. But if you repaid more than $3,000, see Repayments in Pub. 525 for details on how to report the repayment.

Line 21—Other income. Use this line to report any other income effectively connected with your U.S. business that is not reported elsewhere on your return or other schedules. List the type and amount of income. If necessary, show the required information on an attached statement. For more details, see Miscellaneous Income in
Pub. 525. The following are examples of income to report on line 21.

Taxable distributions from a Coverdell education savings account (ESA) or a qualified tuition program (QTP). Distributions from these accounts may be taxable if (a) they are more than the qualified higher education expenses of the designated beneficiary in 2006, and (b) they were not included in a qualified rollover. See Pub. 970.

You may have to pay an additional tax if you received a taxable distribution from a Coverdell ESA or a QTP. See the Instructions for Form 5329.

Taxable distributions from a health savings account (HSA) or an Archer MSA. Distributions from an HSA or an Archer MSA may be taxable if (a) they are more than the unreimbursed qualified medical expenses of the account beneficiary or account holder in 2006, and (b) they were not included in a qualified rollover. See Pub. 969.

You may have to pay an additional tax if you received a taxable distribution from an HSA or Archer MSA. See the Instructions for Form 8889 for HSAs and the Instructions for Form 8853 for Archer MSAs.

Report other income on page 4 of Form 1040NR if not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

Line 22—Treaty-exempt income. Use line 22 to report your total effectively connected income that is exempt from tax by a tax treaty. Do not include this exempt income on line 23. Also, you must complete item M on page 5 of Form 1040NR.

Adjusted Gross Income

Line 24—Archer MSA deduction or educator expenses. If you made a contribution to your Archer MSA for 2006, you may be able to claim this deduction. See Form 8853.

If you were an eligible educator in 2006, you can deduct up to $250 of qualified expenses you paid in 2006. An eligible educator is a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide in a school for at least 900 hours during a school year.

Qualified expenses include ordinary and necessary expenses paid in connection with books, supplies, equipment (including computer equipment, software, and services), and other materials used in the classroom. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your educational field. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your profession as an educator. An expense does not have to be required to be considered necessary.

Qualified expenses do not include expenses for home schooling or for nonathletic supplies for courses in health or physical education. You must reduce your qualified expenses by the following amounts.

Excludable U.S. series EE and I savings bond interest from Form 8815.
Nontaxable qualified state tuition program earnings.
Nontaxable earnings from Coverdell education savings accounts.
Any reimbursements you received for these expenses that were not reported to you in Form W-2, box 1.

If you are deducting only educator expenses on line 24, enter “E” on the dotted line to the left of the line 24 entry space. If you have both educator expenses and an Archer MSA deduction, enter a “B” to the left of the line 24 entry space and attach a schedule listing each amount separately.

Line 25—Health savings account deduction. If contributions (other than employer contributions) were made to your health savings account for 2006, you may be able to take this deduction. See Form 8889.

Line 26—Moving expenses. Employees and self-employed persons (including partners) can deduct certain moving expenses. The move must be in connection with employment that generates effectively connected income.

If you moved in connection with your job or business or started a new job, you may be able to take this deduction. But your new workplace must be at least 50 miles farther from your old home than your old home was from your old workplace. If you had no former workplace, your new workplace must be at least 50 miles from your old home. The deduction is generally limited to moves to or within the United States or its possessions. If you meet these requirements, see Pub. 521. Use Form 3903 to figure the amount to enter on this line.

Line 27—Self-employed SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plans. If you were self-employed or a partner, you may be able to take this deduction. See Pub. 560 or, if you were a minister, Pub. 517.

Line 28—Self-employed health insurance deduction. If you were self-employed and had a net profit for the year, you may be able to deduct the amount you paid for health insurance for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. The insurance plan must be established under your business. But if you were also eligible to participate in any subsidized health plan maintained by your or your spouse's employer for any month or part of a month in 2006, amounts paid for health insurance coverage for that month cannot be used to figure the deduction. For example, if you were eligible to participate in a subsidized health plan maintained by your spouse's employer from September 30 through December 31, you cannot use amounts paid for health insurance coverage for September through December to figure your deduction. For more details, see Pub. 535.

If, during 2006, you were an eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA recipient, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) pension recipient, you must complete Form 8885 before completing the worksheet below. When figuring the amount to enter on line 1 of the worksheet below, do not include:

Any amounts you included on Form 8885, line 4,
Any qualified health insurance premiums you paid to “U.S. Treasury-HCTC,” or
Any health coverage tax credit advance payments shown in box 1 of Form 1099-H.

If you qualify to take the deduction, use the worksheet below to figure the amount you can deduct.

Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction Worksheet—Line 28

Before you begin:

If, during 2006, you were an eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA recipient, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) pension recipient, see the Note above.
Be sure you have read the Exception above to see if you can use this worksheet instead of Pub. 535 to figure your deduction.

1.	Enter the total amount paid in 2006 for health insurance coverage established under your business for 2006 for you, your spouse, and your dependents. But do not include amounts for any month you were eligible to participate in an employer-sponsored health plan	1.
2.	Enter your net profit and any other earned income* from the business under which the insurance plan is established, minus any deduction you claim on Form 1040NR, line 27	2.
3.	Self-employed health insurance deduction. Enter the smaller of line 1 or line 2 here and on Form 1040NR, line 28	3.
Earned income includes net earnings and gains from the sale, transfer, or licensing of property you created. It does not include capital gain income.*

Exception. Use Pub. 535 instead of the worksheet below to figure your deduction if either of the following applies.

You had more than one source of income from self-employment.
You are using amounts paid for qualified long-term care insurance to figure the deduction.

Line 29—Penalty on early withdrawal of savings. The
Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-OID you received will show the amount of any penalty you were charged.

Line 30—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 12. See the examples in the instructions for line 12 on page 12.

Line 31—IRA deduction.

If you made any nondeductible contributions to a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA) for 2006, you must report them on Form 8606.

If you made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2006, you may be able to take an IRA deduction. But you must have had earned income to do so. A statement should be sent to you by May 31, 2007, that shows all contributions to your traditional IRA for 2006.

Were you covered by a retirement plan? If you were covered by a retirement plan (qualified pension, profit-sharing (including 401(k)), annuity, SEP, SIMPLE, etc.) at work or through self-employment, your IRA deduction may be reduced or eliminated. But you can still make contributions to an IRA even if you cannot deduct them. In any case, the income earned on your IRA contributions is not taxed until it is paid to you.

The “Retirement plan” box in Form W-2, box 13, should be checked if you were covered by a plan at work even if you were not vested in the plan. You also are covered by a plan if you were self-employed and had a SEP, SIMPLE, or qualified retirement plan.

If you were covered by a retirement plan and you file Form 8815 or you exclude employer-provided adoption benefits, see Pub. 590 to figure the amount, if any, of your IRA deduction.

Special rule for married individuals. If you checked filing status box 3, 4, or 5 and you were not covered by a retirement plan but your spouse was, you are considered covered by a plan unless you lived apart from your spouse for all of 2006.

See Pub. 590 for more details.

You may be able to take the retirement savings contributions credit. See the instructions for line 46 on page 20.

Line 32—Student loan interest deduction. You can take this deduction only if all of the following apply.

You paid interest in 2006 on a qualified student loan (see below).
You checked filing status box 1, 2, or 6.
Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $65,000. Use lines 2 through 4 of the worksheet on page 17 to figure your modified AGI.
You are not claimed as a dependent on someone else's (such as your parent's) 2006 tax return.

Use the worksheet on page 17 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:

Yourself and your spouse.
Any person who was your dependent when the loan was taken out.
Any person you could have claimed as a dependent for the year the loan was taken out except that:
1. The person filed a joint return,
2. The person had gross income that was equal to or more than the exemption amount for that year ($3,300 for 2006), or
3. 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 page 17). However, a loan is not a qualified student loan if (a) any of the proceeds were used for other purposes, or (b) the loan was from either a related person or a person who borrowed the proceeds under a qualified employer plan or a contract purchased under such a plan. To find out who is a related person, see Pub. 970.

Qualified higher education expenses generally include tuition, fees, room and board, and related expenses such as books and supplies. The expenses must be for education in a degree, certificate, or similar program at an eligible educational institution. An eligible educational institution includes most colleges, universities, and certain vocational schools. You must reduce the expenses by the following benefits.

If you are exempt from the tax for one of these reasons, you must attach a statement to Form 1040NR identifying your country of residence and the treaty, note, or law and provisions under which you claim exemption from the tax.

The amount withheld should be shown in Form W-2, box 2, and in Form 1099-R, box 4. If line 59 includes amounts withheld as shown on Form 1099-R, attach the Form 1099-R to the front of your return. Also, include in the total for line 59 any tax withheld from Form 1042-S, box 7, that was withheld on:

Scholarship or fellowship grants, or
Pensions that you included on line 17a or 17b.

If you received a 2006 Form 1099 showing federal income tax withheld on dividends, taxable or tax-exempt interest income, or other income you received, include the amount withheld in the total on line 59. This should be shown in Form 1099, box 4.

Do not include on line 59 amounts withheld on income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Those amounts should be reported in column (a) on page 4. They are then carried over to page 2, line 66.

Line 60—2006 estimated tax payments. Enter any estimated federal income tax payments you made using Form 1040-ES (NR) for 2006. Include any overpayment from your 2005 return that you applied to your 2006 estimated tax.

Name change. If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., and you made estimated tax payments using your former name, attach a statement to the front of
Form 1040NR. On the statement, list all of the payments you made in 2006 and show the name(s) and identifying number(s) under which you made them.

Line 61—Excess social security and tier 1 RRTA tax withheld. If you had more than one employer for 2006 and total wages of more than $94,200, too much social security or tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) tax may have been withheld. You can take a credit on this line for the amount withheld in excess of $5,840.40. But if any one employer withheld more than $5,840.40, you cannot claim the excess on your return. The employer should adjust the tax for you. If the employer does not adjust the overcollection, you can file a claim for refund using Form 843.

You cannot claim a refund for excess tier 2 RRTA tax on Form 1040NR. Instead, use Form 843.

For more details, see Pub. 505.

Line 62—Additional child tax credit. This credit is for certain people who have at least one qualifying child as defined in the instructions for line 48 that begin on page 20. The additional child tax credit may give you a refund even if you do not owe any tax.

To take the credit:

Be sure you figured the amount, if any, of your child tax credit. See the instructions for line 48 that begin on page 20.
Read the TIP at the end of your Child Tax Credit Worksheet on page 21. Use Form 8812 to see if you can take the additional child tax credit, but only if you meet the conditions given in that TIP.

Sample Check--Lines 72b Through 72d

Line 63—Amount paid with Form 4868 (request for extension). If you filed Form 4868 to get an automatic extension of time to file Form 1040NR, enter any amount you paid with that form or by electronic funds withdrawal or credit card. If you paid by credit card, do not include on line 63 the convenience fee you were charged.

Line 64—Other payments. Check the box(es) on line 64 to report any credit from Form 2439, 4136, or 8885.

Line 65—Credit for amount paid with Form 1040-C. Enter any amount you paid with Form 1040-C for 2006.

Line 66—U.S. tax withheld at source. Enter on line 66 the amount you show on page 4, line 86. Be sure to attach a copy of all Form(s) 1042-S, SSA-1042S, RRB-1042S, or similar form(s).

Lines 67a and 67b—U.S. tax withheld at source by partnerships under section 1446. Enter on line 67a any tax withheld by a partnership shown on Form(s) 8805. Enter on
line 67b any tax withheld by a partnership shown on Form(s) 1042-S. Be sure to attach a copy of all Form(s) 8805 and 1042-S.

Lines 68a and 68b—U.S. tax withheld on dispositions of U.S. real property interests. Enter on line 68a any tax withheld on dispositions of U.S. real property interests from Form(s) 8288-A. Enter on line 68b any tax withheld on dispositions of U.S. real property interests from Form(s) 1042-S. Be sure to attach a copy of all Form(s) 8288-A and 1042-S.

Line 69—Credit for federal telephone excise tax paid. If you were billed after February 28, 2003, and before August 1, 2006, for the federal telephone excise tax on long distance or bundled service, you may be able to request a credit for the tax paid. You had bundled service if your local and long distance service was provided under a plan that does not separately state the charge for local service.

You cannot request the credit if you already have received a credit or refund from your service provider. If you request the credit, you cannot ask your service provider for a credit or refund and must withdraw any request previously submitted to your provider.

You can request the standard amount or the actual amount you paid. If you believe you paid more than the standard amount, it can be to your benefit to request the actual amount. If you request the actual amount paid, you must attach Form 8913 showing the amount paid and keep records to substantiate the amount. If you were a sole proprietor, farmer, or lessor of rental real estate, you may be able to estimate your actual expenses. See Form 8913 for details.

Standard amount. The standard amount you can request depends on the number of exemptions you claimed on line 7d. The standard amounts, which include both the tax paid and interest owed on that tax, are shown in the following table.

IF the number of exemptions you claimed is ...	THEN the standard amount is ...
0	$0*
1	30
2	40
3	50
4 or more	60
* Even though your standard amount is zero, you can request the actual amount paid on Form 8913.

If you request the standard amount and you later want to change it to the actual amount, you must file an amended return.

If you request the standard amount, you do not have to include the credit in income for any tax year.

Refund

Line 71—Amount overpaid. If
line 71 is under $1, we will send a refund only on written request.

If the amount you overpaid is large, you may be able to decrease the amount of income tax withheld from your pay by filing a new Form W-4. See Income Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax Payments for Individuals for 2007 on page 30.

Refund offset. If you owe past-due federal tax, state income tax, child support, spousal support, or certain federal nontax debts, such as student loans, all or part of the overpayment on line 71 may be used (offset) to pay the past-due amount. Offsets for federal taxes are made by the IRS. All other offsets are made by the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service (FMS). For federal tax offsets, you will receive a notice from the IRS. For all other offsets, you will receive a notice from FMS. To find out if you may have an offset or if you have any questions about it, contact the agency(ies) to which you owe the debt.

Lines 72a through 72d—Direct deposit of refund.

Why Use Direct Deposit?

You get your refund fast.
Payment is more secure—there is no check to get lost.
More convenient. No trip to the bank to deposit your check.
Saves tax dollars. A refund by direct deposit costs less than a check.

If you want us to directly deposit the amount shown on line 72a to your checking or savings account, including an IRA, at a U.S. bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm, or credit union) in the United States:

Check the box on line 72a and attach Form 8888 if you want to split the direct deposit of your refund among two or three accounts, or
Complete lines 72b through 72d if you want your refund deposited to only one account.

Otherwise, we will send you a check.

If you do not want your refund directly deposited to your account, do not check the box on line 72a. Draw a line through the boxes on lines 72b and 72d.

The IRS is not responsible for a lost refund if you enter the 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.

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.

Line 72a. If you want to split the direct deposit of your refund among two or three accounts, check the box on line 72a and attach Form 8888. If you want your refund deposited to only one account, do not check the box on line 72a, but instead complete lines 72b through 72d.

Line 72b. The routing number must be nine digits. The first two digits must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. Otherwise, the direct deposit will be rejected and a check sent instead. On the sample check below, the routing number is 250250025.

Your check may state that it is payable through a financial institution different from the one at which you have your checking account. If so, do not use the routing number on that check. Instead, contact your financial institution for the correct routing number to enter on line 72b.

Line 72c. Check the appropriate box for the type of account. Do not check more than one box. If the deposit is to an IRA, check the “Savings” box.

Line 72d. 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 below, the account number is 20202086. Do not include the check number.

Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA). You can have your refund directly deposited to a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP-IRA, but not a SIMPLE IRA. You must establish the IRA at a bank or other financial institution before you request direct deposit. Make sure your direct deposit will be accepted. You also must notify the trustee of your account of the year to which the deposit is to be applied. If you do not, the trustee can assume the deposit is for the year during which you are filing the return. For example, if you file your 2006 return during 2007 and do not notify the trustee in advance, the trustee can assume the deposit to your IRA is for 2007. If you designate your deposit to be for 2006, you must verify that the deposit actually was made to the account by the due date of the return (without regard to extensions). If the deposit is not made to your account by the due date of the return (without regard to extensions), the deposit is not an IRA contribution for 2006. You must file an amended 2006 return and reduce any IRA deduction and any retirement savings contributions credit you claimed.

You may be able to contribute up to $4,000 ($5,000 if age 50 or older at the end of 2006) to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA for 2006. You may owe a penalty if your contributions exceed these limits.

For more information on IRAs, see Pub. 590.

Line 73—Applied to 2007 estimated tax. Enter on line 73 the amount, if any, of the overpayment on line 71 you want applied to your 2007 estimated tax. This election cannot be changed later.

Amount You Owe

Line 74—Amount you owe.

To save interest and penalties, pay your taxes in full by the due date. You do not have to pay if line 74 is under $1.

Include any estimated tax penalty from line 75 in the amount you enter on line 74.

You can pay by check, money order, or credit card. Do not include any estimated tax payment for 2007 in your check, money order, or amount you charge. Instead, make the estimated tax payment separately.

To pay by check or money order. Make your check or money order payable to the “United States Treasury” for the full amount due. Do not send cash. Do not attach the payment to your return. Write “2006 Form 1040NR” and your name, address, daytime phone number, and SSN or ITIN on your payment.

To help process your payment, enter the amount on the right side of the check like this: $ 1040NR.XX. Do not use dashes or lines (for example, do not enter “1040NR-” or “1040NR XX/100”).

To pay by credit card. You can use your American Express® Card, Discover® Card, MasterCard® card, or Visa® card. To pay by credit card, call toll-free or visit the website of either service provider listed on the next page and follow the instructions. You will be asked to provide your social security number (SSN). If you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, use your IRS-issued individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) instead.

A convenience fee will be charged by the service provider based on the amount you are paying. Fees may vary between the providers. You will be told what the fee is during the transaction and you will have the option to either continue or cancel the transaction. You also can find out what the fee will be by calling the provider's toll-free automated customer service number or visiting the provider's website shown below.

If you pay by credit card before filing your return, please enter on page 1 of Form 1040NR in the upper left corner the confirmation number you were given at the end of the transaction and the amount you charged (not including the convenience fee).

	Official Payments Corporation 1-800-2PAY-TAX ^SM (1-800-272-9829) 1-877-754-4413 (Customer Service) www.officialpayments.com
	Link2Gov Corporation 1-888-PAY-1040 ^SM (1-888-729-1040) 1-888-658-5465 (Customer Service) www.PAY1040.com

You may need to (a) increase the amount of income tax withheld from your pay by filing a new Form W-4, or (b) make estimated tax payments for 2007. See Income Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax Payments for Individuals for 2007 on page 30.

What if you cannot pay? If you cannot pay the full amount shown on line 74 when you file, you can ask to make monthly installment payments for the full or a partial amount. You may have up to 60 months to pay. However, even if your request to pay in installments is granted, you will be charged interest and may be charged a late payment penalty on the tax not paid by the date due. 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 www.irs.gov, use the pull-down menu under “I need to...” and select “Set Up a Payment Plan.” If you use Form 9465, you should receive a response to your request for installments within 30 days. But if you file your return after March 31, it may take us longer to reply.

Line 75—Estimated tax penalty. You may owe this penalty if:

Line 74 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.

For most people, the “tax shown on your return” is the amount on line 58 minus the total of any amounts shown on line 62 and Forms 8828, 4137, 4136, 5329 (Parts III through VIII only), and 8885. Also, subtract from line 58 any tax on an excess parachute payment and any excise tax on insider stock compensation of an expatriated corporation. When figuring the amount on line 58, include the amount on line 57 only if line 59 is more than zero or you would owe the penalty even if you did not include those taxes. But if you entered an amount on Schedule H (Form 1040), line 7, include the total of that amount plus the amount on Form 1040NR, line 57.

Exception. You will not owe the penalty if your 2005 tax return was for a tax year of 12 full months and either of the following applies.

You had no tax shown on your 2005 return and you were a U.S. citizen or resident for all of 2005, or
The total of lines 59, 60, 61, and 65 through 68b on your 2006 return is at least as much as the tax shown on your 2005 return. Your estimated tax payments for 2006 must have been made on time and for the required amount.

If your 2005 adjusted gross income was over $150,000 (over $75,000 if you checked filing status box 3, 4, or 5 for 2006), item (2) applies only if the total of lines 59, 60, 61, and 65 through 68b on your 2006 tax return is at least 110% of the tax shown on your 2005 return. This rule does not apply to farmers and fishermen.

Figuring the penalty. If the Exception above does not apply and you choose to figure the penalty yourself, see Form 2210 (or Form 2210-F for farmers and fishermen) 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 75. Add the penalty to any tax due and enter the total on line 74. If you are due a refund, subtract the penalty from the overpayment you show on line 71. 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 complicated, you can leave line 75 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 a friend, family member, or any other person you choose to discuss your 2006 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 numbers the designee chooses as his or her personal identification number (PIN). But if you want to allow the paid preparer who signed your return to discuss it with the IRS, just enter “Preparer” in the space for the designee's name. You do not have to provide the other information requested.

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. 947.

The authorization will end automatically no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing your 2007 tax return (see When To File on page 4). If you wish to revoke the authorization before it ends, see Pub. 947.

Signature

See Reminders beginning on page 30 after you complete pages 3, 4, and 5 of the form.

Instructions for Schedule A, Itemized Deductions

Do not include on Schedule A items deducted elsewhere such as on Form 1040NR or Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F (Form 1040).

State and Local Income Taxes

Lines 1 Through 3

You can deduct state and local income taxes you paid or that were withheld from your salary during 2006 on income connected with a U.S. trade or business. If, during 2006, you received any refunds of, or credits for, income tax paid in earlier years, do not subtract them from the amount you deduct here. Instead, see the instructions for
Form 1040NR, line 11, beginning on page 11.

Gifts to U.S. Charities

Lines 4 Through 7

You can deduct contributions or gifts you gave to U.S. organizations that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose. You also can deduct what you gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals.

To verify an organization's charitable status, you can:

Check with the organization to which you made the donation. The organization should be able to provide you with verification of its charitable status.
See Pub. 78 for a list of most qualified organizations. You can access Pub. 78 at www.irs.gov under Charities and Non-Profits.
If in the United States, call our Tax Exempt/Government Entities Customer Account Services at 1-877-829-5500.

Examples of U.S. qualified charitable organizations include the following.

Churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, etc.
Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, CARE, Girl Scouts, Goodwill Industries, Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way, etc.
Fraternal orders, if the gifts will be used for the purposes listed above.
Veterans' and certain cultural groups.
Nonprofit schools, hospitals, and organizations whose purpose is to find a cure for, or help people who have, arthritis, asthma, birth defects, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, heart disease, hemophilia, mental illness or retardation, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, tuberculosis, etc.
Federal, state, and local governments if the gifts are solely for public purposes.

Contributions you can deduct. Contributions can be in cash (keep canceled checks, receipts, or other reliable written records showing the name of the organization and the date and amount given), property, or out-of-pocket expenses you paid to do volunteer work for the kinds of organizations described earlier. If you drove to and from the volunteer work, you can take the actual cost of gas and oil or 14 cents a mile. But, if the volunteer work was to provide relief related to Hurricane Katrina, the amount is 32 cents a mile. Add parking and tolls to the amount you claim under either method. But do not deduct any amounts that were repaid to you.

Gifts from which you benefit. If you made a gift and received a benefit in return, such as food, entertainment, or merchandise, you generally can deduct only the amount that is more than the value of the benefit. But this rule does not apply to certain membership benefits provided in return for an annual payment of $75 or less. For details, see Pub. 526.

Example.

You paid $70 to a charitable organization to attend a fund-raising dinner and the value of the dinner was $40. You can deduct only $30.

Gifts of $250 or more. You can deduct a gift of $250 or more only if you have a statement from the charitable organization showing the information in (1) and (2) below.

The amount of any money contributed and a description (but not value) of any property donated.
Whether the organization did or did not give you any goods or services in return for your contribution. If you did receive any goods or services, a description and estimate of the value must be included. If you received only intangible religious benefits (such as admission to a religious ceremony), the organization must state this, but it does not have to describe or value the benefit.

In figuring whether a gift is $250 or more, do not combine separate donations. For example, if you gave your church $25 each week for a total of $1,300, treat each $25 payment as a separate gift. If you made donations through payroll deductions, treat each deduction from each paycheck as a separate gift. See Pub. 526 if you made a separate gift of $250 or more through payroll deduction.

You must get the statement by the date you file your return or the due date (including extensions) for filing your return, whichever is earlier. Do not attach the statement to your return. Instead, keep it for your records.

Limit on the amount you can deduct. See Pub. 526 to figure the amount of your deduction if any of the following applies.

Your cash contributions or contributions of ordinary income property are more than 30% of the amount on Form 1040NR, line 36.
Your gifts of capital gain property are more than 20% of the amount on
Form 1040NR, line 36.
You gave gifts of property that increased in value or gave gifts of the use of property.

Contributions you cannot deduct.

Travel expenses (including meals and lodging) while away from home, unless there was no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel.
Political contributions.
Dues, fees, or bills paid to country clubs, lodges, fraternal orders, or similar groups.
Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets.
Cost of tuition. But you may be able to deduct this expense on line 9. See page 27.
Value of your time or services.
Value of blood given to a blood bank.
The transfer of a future interest in tangible personal property (generally, until the entire interest has been transferred).
Gifts to individuals and groups that are run for personal profit.
Gifts to foreign organizations. But you may be able to deduct gifts to certain U.S. organizations that transfer funds to foreign charities and certain Canadian, Israeli, and Mexican charities. See Pub. 526 for details.
Gifts to organizations engaged in certain political activities that are of direct financial interest to your trade or business. See section 170(f)(9).
Gifts to groups whose purpose is to lobby for changes in the laws.
Gifts to civic leagues, social and sports clubs, labor unions, and chambers of commerce.
Value of benefits received in connection with a contribution to a charitable organization. See Pub. 526 for exceptions.

Line 4

Enter the total gifts you made in cash or by check (including out-of-pocket expenses).

Line 5

Enter your contributions of property. If you gave used items, such as clothing or furniture, deduct their fair market value at the time you gave them. Fair market value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither has to buy or sell and both are aware of the conditions of the sale. For more details on determining the value of donated property, see Pub. 561.

If the amount of your deduction is more than $500, you must complete and attach Form 8283. For this purpose, the “amount of your deduction” means your deduction before applying any income limits that could result in a carryover of contributions. If you deduct more than $500 for a contribution of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane, you also must attach a statement from the charitable organization to your return. If your total deduction is over $5,000, you also may have to get appraisals of the values of the donated property. This amount is $500 for certain contributions after August 17, 2006, of clothing and household items (see below). See Form 8283 and its instructions for details.

Contributions of clothing and household items after August 17, 2006. A deduction for these contributions will be allowed only if the items are in good used condition or better. However, this rule does not apply to a contribution of any single item for which a deduction of more than $500 is claimed and for which you include a qualified appraisal and Form 8283 with your tax return.

Recordkeeping. If you gave property, you should keep a receipt or written statement from the organization you gave the property to, or a reliable written record, that shows the organization's name and address, the date and location of the gift, and a description of the property. For each gift of property, you also should keep reliable written records that include:

How you figured the property's value at the time you gave it. If the value was determined by an appraisal, keep a signed copy of the appraisal.
The cost or other basis of the property if you must reduce it by any ordinary income or capital gain that would have resulted if the property had been sold at its fair market value.
How you figured your deduction if you chose to reduce your deduction for gifts of capital gain property.
Any conditions attached to the gift.

If your total deduction for gifts of property is over $500, you gave less than your entire interest in the property, or you made a “qualified conservation contribution,” your records should contain additional information. See Pub. 526 for details.

Line 6

Enter any carryover of contributions that you could not deduct in an earlier year because they exceeded your adjusted gross income limit. See
Pub. 526 for details.

Casualty and Theft Losses

Line 8

Complete and attach Form 4684 to figure the amount of your loss to enter on line 8.

You may be able to deduct part or all of each loss caused by theft, vandalism, fire, storm, or similar causes, and car, boat, and other accidents. You also may be able to deduct money you had in a financial institution but lost because of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the institution.

You can deduct nonbusiness casualty or theft losses only to the extent that:

The amount of each separate casualty or theft loss is more than $100, and
The total amount of all losses during the year (reduced by the $100 limit discussed in (1) above) is more than 10% of the amount shown on Form 1040NR, line 36.

The limits in items (1) and (2) above do not apply to casualty and theft losses that occurred in the Hurricane Katrina, Rita, or Wilma disaster areas, if the loss was caused by Hurricane Katrina, Rita, or Wilma. See Form 4684 and its instructions for details.

Special rules apply if you had both gains and losses from nonbusiness casualties or thefts. See Form 4684 and its instructions for details.

Use Schedule A, line 11, to deduct the costs of proving that you had a property loss. Examples of these costs are appraisal fees and photographs used to establish the amount of your loss.

For information on federal disaster area losses, see Pub. 547. For information on tax benefits related to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, see Pub. 4492.

Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions

Miscellaneous deductions are allowed only if and to the extent they are directly related to your effectively connected income. You can deduct only the part of these expenses that exceeds 2% of the amount on Form 1040NR, line 36.

Pub. 529 discusses the types of expenses you can and cannot deduct.

Examples of Expenses You Cannot Deduct

Political contributions.
Legal expenses for personal matters that do not produce taxable income.
Lost or misplaced cash or property.
Expenses for meals during regular or extra work hours.
The cost of entertaining friends.
Commuting expenses. See Pub. 529 for the definition of commuting.
Travel expenses for employment away from home if that period of employment exceeds 1 year.
Travel as a form of education.
Expenses of attending a seminar, convention, or similar meeting unless it is related to your employment.
Club dues. See Pub. 529 for exceptions.
Expenses of adopting a child. But you may be able to take a credit for adoption expenses. See Form 8839 for details.
Fines and penalties.
Expenses of producing tax-exempt income.

Tax on Income Not Effectively Connected With a U.S. Trade or Business (Page 4)

The following items are generally taxed at 30% if they are not effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business. The rate may be lower if your country of residence and the United States have a treaty setting lower rates. Table 1 in Pub. 901 summarizes which countries have such treaties and what the rates are.

The 30% tax applies only to amounts included in gross income. For example, the tax applies only to the part of a periodic annuity or pension payment that is subject to tax; it does not apply to the part that is a return of your cost.

The following list gives only a general idea of the type of income to include on page 4. (For more information, see Pub. 519.) Include the following only to the extent the amount received is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

Income that is fixed or periodic, such as interest (other than original issue discount), dividends, rents, salaries, wages, premiums, annuities, other compensation, or alimony received. Other items of income, such as royalties, also may be subject to the 30% tax.
Exceptions.

The following items of interest and dividend income that you received as a nonresident alien generally are exempt from the 30% tax.
- Interest from a U.S. bank, savings and loan association, or similar institution, and from certain deposits with U.S. insurance companies.
- Portfolio interest on obligations issued after July 18, 1984.
- Interest-related dividends received from a mutual fund.
- Short-term capital gain dividends from a mutual fund only if you were present in the United States for less than 183 days during the tax year.
- U.S. source dividends paid by certain foreign corporations.
For more information, see Pub. 519.
Gains, other than capital gains, from the sale or exchange of patents, copyrights, and other intangible property.
Original issue discount (OID). If you sold or exchanged the obligation, include in income the OID that accrued while you held the obligation minus the amount previously included in income. If you received a payment on an OID obligation, see Pub. 519.
Capital gains in excess of capital losses from U.S. sources during 2006. Include these gains only if you were in the United States at least 183 days during 2006. They are not subject to U.S. tax if you were in the United States less than 183 days during the tax year. In determining your net gain, do not use the capital loss carryover.

Losses from sales or exchanges of capital assets in excess of similar gains are not allowed.

If you had a gain or loss on disposing of a U.S. real property interest, see Dispositions of U.S. Real Property Interests on page 6.
Prizes, awards, and certain gambling winnings. Proceeds from lotteries, raffles, etc., are gambling winnings (see section 871(j) for exceptions). You must report the full amount of your winnings. You cannot offset losses against winnings and report the difference.

Note.

Residents of Canada may claim gambling losses, but only to the extent of gambling winnings. They should report both their total gambling winnings and their total gambling losses on the dotted line on line 85 (or attach a separate schedule if more space is needed). If they have net gambling winnings (after offsetting their total gambling losses against their total gambling winnings), they should include this net amount on line 85, column (d).

Social security benefits (and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits treated as social security). 85% of the U.S. social security and equivalent railroad retirement benefits you received are taxable. This amount is treated as U.S. source income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. It is subject to the 30% tax rate, unless exempt or taxed at a reduced rate under a U.S. tax treaty. Social security benefits include any monthly benefit under title II of the Social Security Act or the part of a tier 1 railroad retirement benefit treated as a social security benefit. They do not include any Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

You should receive a Form SSA-1042S showing the total social security benefits paid to you in 2006 and the amount of any benefits you repaid in 2006. If you received railroad retirement benefits treated as social security, you should receive a Form RRB-1042S.

Enter 85% of the total amount from box 5 of all of your Forms SSA-1042S and Forms RRB-1042S in the appropriate column of line 83 of
Form 1040NR. Enter any federal tax withheld in column (a) of line 83. Attach a copy of each Form SSA-1042S and RRB-1042S to Form 1040NR.

Withholding of tax at the source. Tax must be withheld at the source on certain income from U.S. sources paid to nonresident aliens. The withholding is generally at the 30% rate. There are exceptions to the general rule, and tax treaties with various countries may provide a lower rate or exempt certain income from withholding. The tax must be withheld by the person who pays fixed or determinable annual or periodic income to nonresident aliens. The income subject to this withholding should be reported on page 4 of Form 1040NR. For details, see Pub. 519, Pub. 515, and section 1441 and its regulations.

Other Information (Page 5)

Item D

Enter the type of U.S. visa (for example, F, J, M, etc.) you used to enter the United States. Also enter your current nonimmigrant status. For example, enter your current nonimmigrant status shown on your current U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record. If your status has changed while in the United States, enter the date of change. If your status has not changed, enter “N/A.”

Item E

You are generally required to enter your date of entry into the United States that pertains to your current nonimmigrant status (for example, the date of arrival shown on your most recent USCIS Form I-94).

Exception. If you are claiming a tax treaty benefit that is determined by reference to more than one date of arrival, enter the earlier date of arrival. For example, you are currently claiming treaty benefits (as a teacher) under article 20 of the tax treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). You previously claimed treaty benefits (as a student) under article 21 of that treaty. Under article 21, paragraph 4, of that treaty, the combination of consecutive exemptions under articles 20 and 21 may not extend beyond 5 tax years from the date you entered the United States as a student. If article 21, paragraph 4, of that treaty applies, enter in item E the date you entered the United States as a student.

Item M

If you are a resident of a treaty country (that is, you qualify as a resident of that country within the meaning of the tax treaty between the United States and that country), you must know the terms of the tax treaty between the United States and the treaty country to properly complete item M. You may download the complete text of most U.S. tax treaties at www.irs.gov. Technical explanations for many of those treaties are also available at that site. Also, see Pub. 901 for a quick reference guide to the provisions of U.S. tax treaties.

If you are claiming treaty benefits on Form 1040NR, you must provide all of the information requested in item M.

If you are claiming tax treaty benefits and you failed to submit adequate documentation to a withholding agent, you must attach all information that otherwise would have been required on the withholding document (for example, all information required on Form W-8BEN or
Form 8233).

Treaty-based return position disclosure. If you take the position that a treaty of the United States overrides or modifies any provision of the Internal Revenue Code and that position reduces (or potentially reduces) your tax, you must report certain information on Form 8833 and attach it to Form 1040NR.

You can be charged a $1,000 penalty for each failure to report the required information. For more details, see Form 8833 and Regulations section 301.6114-1.

Exceptions. You do not have to file Form 8833 for any of the following situations.

You claim a treaty reduces the withholding tax on interest, dividends, rents, royalties, or other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income ordinarily subject to the 30% rate.
You claim a treaty reduces or modifies the taxation of income from dependent personal services, pensions, annuities, social security and other public pensions, or income of artists, athletes, students, trainees, or teachers. This includes taxable scholarship and fellowship grants.
You claim an International Social Security Agreement or a Diplomatic or Consular Agreement reduces or modifies the taxation of income.
You are a partner in a partnership or a beneficiary of an estate or trust and the partnership, estate, or trust reports the required information on its return.
The payments or items of income that otherwise are required to be disclosed total no more than $10,000.

Item P

If you expatriated, see Special Rules for Former U.S. Citizens and Former U.S. Long-Term Residents beginning on page 7 for details on how to answer the question in item P and for information that must be included in the annual information statement, if required. If you are a former U.S. long-term resident filing a dual-status return for your last year of U.S. residency, you must also attach Form 8854. See Dual-Status Taxpayers that begins on page 5.

Item R

If you received total compensation of $250,000 or more for 2006 and you are using an alternative basis to determine the source, check the box in item R. Total compensation includes all compensation from sources within and without the United States.

If you are required to check the box in item R, you must attach a statement to your return. For details about the statement and the alternative basis, see Services performed partly inside and partly outside the United States on page 10.

Reminders

Sign and Date Your Return

Form 1040NR is not considered a valid return unless you sign it. 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.
For other reasons that you explained in writing to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX 73301-0215, U.S.A., and that the IRS approved.

A return prepared by an agent must be accompanied by a power of attorney. Form 2848 may be used for this purpose.

Be sure to date your return and show your occupation(s) in the United States in the space provided. If you have someone prepare your return, you are still responsible for the correctness of the return.

Child's return. If your child cannot sign the return, you can sign the child's name in the space provided. Then, add “By (your signature), parent for minor child.”

Paid preparer must sign your return. Generally, anyone you pay to prepare your return must sign it 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.

Income Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax Payments for Individuals for 2007

If the amount you owe or the amount you overpaid is large, you may be able to file a new Form W-4 with your employer to change the amount of income tax withheld from your 2007 pay. For details on how to complete Form W-4, see the Instructions for Form 8233.

In general, you do not have to make estimated tax payments if you expect that your 2007 Form 1040NR will show a tax refund or a tax balance due the IRS of less than $1,000. If your total estimated tax (including any household employment taxes or alternative minimum tax) for 2007 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 2007 and you must pay estimated tax, use Form 1040-ES.

Identity Theft

If you believe someone has assumed your identity to file federal income tax returns, or to commit other tax fraud, complete Form 3949-A, Information Referral, and send it to Internal Revenue Service, Fresno, CA 93888. Victims of identity theft who are suffering economic harm, experiencing a systemic problem, or 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 toll-free 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TTD 1-800-829-4059. For additional information about identity theft prevention and victim assistance, you can access the IRS Identity Theft page at www.irs.gov by entering keyword “identity theft.”

The IRS does not send out unsolicited emails requesting personal taxpayer information. If you receive this type of request, it may be an attempt by identity thieves to get your private tax information. Send a copy of the fraudulent email to [email protected]. For more information on how to forward one of these emails, go to www.irs.gov and enter keyword “phishing.” Once there, see the article titled “How to Protect Yourself From Suspicious E-Mails or Phishing Schemes.”

Gift To Reduce Debt Held By the Public

If you wish to make such a gift, make a check payable to “Bureau of the Public Debt.” You can send it to: Bureau of the Public Debt, Department G, P.O. Box 2188, Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188. Or you can enclose the check with your income tax return when you file. Do not add your gift to any tax you may owe. See page 24 for details on how to pay any tax you owe.

You may be able to deduct this gift on your 2007 tax return as a charitable contribution.

Address Change

If you move after filing your return, always notify the IRS of your new address. To do this, use Form 8822.

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, 1099, and 1042-S) 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 Pub. 552.

Amended Return

File Form 1040X to change a return you already filed. Also, use
Form 1040X if you filed Form 1040NR and you should have filed a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ, 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. But you may have more time to file Form 1040X if you are physically or mentally unable to manage your financial affairs. See Pub. 556 for details.

Requesting a Copy of Your Tax Return

If you need a copy of your tax return, use Form 4506. There is a $39 fee for each return requested. If your main home, principal place of business, or tax records are located in a Presidentially declared disaster area, this fee will be waived. If you want a free transcript of your tax return or account, use Form 4506-T or call us at 1-800-829-1040.

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, page 2. Do not include interest or penalties (other than the estimated tax penalty) in the amount you owe on line 74.

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, attach it to 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 $100 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 ½ 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 $500 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.

Other penalties. Other penalties can be imposed for negligence, substantial understatement of tax, reportable transaction understatements, and fraud. Criminal penalties may be imposed for willful failure to file, tax evasion, or making a false statement. See Pub. 519 for details on some of these penalties.
