2020.4.15中午打开BOA看到自己账户上多了1200,突然被吓到了这是什么,然后想到好像是川普的stimulus check,但问题是我是NRA(nonresident alien)为什么还是收到了,于是看了IRS官网关于who is eligible以及关于报税退税的事情我总算搞清楚了一些,在这里和大家分享一些关于美国税务的一些东西,因为想必有不少人跟我一样现在很慌(我真心不想占老美便宜)。
【1. 1200刀谁能拿到?】
瞎猜了半天不如去IRS官网看,不能拿到的人有如下条件:
Taxpayers likely won't qualify for an Economic Impact Payment if any of the following apply:
Your adjusted gross income is greater than
- $99,000 if your filing status was single or married filing separately
- $136,500 for head of household
- $198,000 if your filing status was married filing jointly
- You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
- You do not have a valid Social Security number.
- You are a nonresident alien.
- You filed Form 1040-NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS for 2019.
总而言之,如果(1)没有SSN(2)2019年的税填的不是1040(注意只是2019年报税)(3)Nonresident alien(在美国呆的时间小于5年)只要满足其中一点就不符合(主要就这3点,单身狗的我没看已婚couples的条件,并且单身75,000以下才够拿1200的资格)。当然如果最主要的这四点都满足并且还是学生F1/OPT/CPT或者H1B/H4的话都能拿到。 [还有个问题IRS官网用的U.S. resident这个词,也不知道resident到底什么意思,毕竟美国就是一个全球人种混杂的地方。。。]
To amend Form 1040NR, or to file the correct return, do the following: Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040X. Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040X. Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040X. Complete a new or corrected return (Form 1040, Form 1040NR, etc.). Across the top of the new or corrected return, write “Amended.” Attach the new or corrected return to the back of Form 1040X
