发帖数: 1311 | 5 if you are here more than 5 years, you can use 1040. It's usually better off
with 1040 cause 1040NR doesn't givey you standard deduction or exemption(
one of the two).
you should probably need to talk to your employer before you file your own
843.
1040 has nothing to do with social security tax and medicare tax. I'm not
sure if you even file that 843 form w/ the IRS. I would do it seprately. | k*****o
