发帖数: 6659 | 1 I filed as Resident Alien for year 2015 since my F visa is over 5 years, but
was wondering if I can file as NR for year 2016 (due next year)
filing as NR would help avoid FICA, which is some decent amount. From my
understanding all I have to do is to use form 8840 to prove my closer
connection to my home country.
I haven't come across anything from IRS that discourages this... |

The difference would probably be outweighed by FICA

Also, the Internal Revenue Code provides one exemption from social security/
Medicare taxes for foreign students and another exemption from social
security/Medicare taxes for all students, American and foreign. This is the
so-called "student FICA exemption", and it may operate to exempt a foreign
student from social security/Medicare taxes even though the foreign student
has already become a RESIDENT ALIEN.
