你最重要的是搞清楚自己是non-resident alien 还是resident alien. 搞清了，其他issue就知道如

何解决。是不是non-resident alien不是你自己说了算的。税法设定了几个test。如果是Non-resident alien, bank deposit interest is non-taxable. IRS pub519 says:

Itemized Deductions

Nonresident aliens can claim some of the same

itemized deductions that resident aliens can

claim. However, nonresident aliens can claim

itemized deductions only if they have income

effectively connected with their U.S. trade or

business.

 

So if you can deduct property tax or not depends on if you have US income or not. Also no standard deduction for NRA.
