Are there know tax deductions for Indians in the US? Since the tax deadline is coming up, I wonder how you file your taxes.
Hey — as a general tip, Indian nationals in the U.S. on F-1, OPT, or STEM OPT may be eligible for the U.S.–India tax treaty, which can allow for some deductions like the standard deduction (unlike most other nonresidents).
That said, eligibility depends on your visa status and tax residency — tools like Sprintax or Glacier Tax Prep can help you figure it out, or you can consult a tax pro familiar with international student returns. I’ve seen some schools offering recommended software or there’s certified Accountant that specializes in NRA filing too. Don’t forget to check local group chat etc.
Good luck — filing season can be stressful but you’ve got this!
I just find a accountant which is more professional I think
