Personal Tax Return Preparation for Nonresidents (1040NR)

If you’re not a US citizen or resident but you have income connected to the US, whether from a job, an investment, or property, you may still have a filing obligation. The rules for nonresident aliens are different from the rules everyone else follows, and getting them wrong can mean overpaying or missing something the IRS will eventually notice. Add-wise Tax prepares 1040NR returns for nonresident individuals with US-source income.

I had a multi-state mess from a previous accountant. Add-wise fixed it and explained everything clearly.

Sarah Mtchell

I've worked with Add-wise Tax for many years and they have consistently provided expert level guidance on all tax and business related matters. As my company has scaled from a little more than 10 people to more than 100 a few years later, Sid Jain and Add-wise Tax have been critical in that growth. I would highly recommend Add-wise Tax.

FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from clients.

Do I need to file a US tax return if I’m not a US citizen or resident?

It depends on whether you have US-source income or other filing triggers. Nonresident aliens with US income generally need to file Form 1040NR, and we can help determine whether that applies to you.

What’s the difference between Form 1040 and Form 1040NR?

Form 1040 is for US citizens and resident aliens, while Form 1040NR is for nonresident aliens with US-source income. The forms differ in what income and deductions apply.

Can you handle personal tax returns involving multiple states?

Yes, multi-state personal tax return preparation is something we handle regularly, including situations involving income earned or residency established in more than one state during the year.

What documents do I need?

Bring your W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, mortgage statements, and any other income or deduction records. We will provide a checklist before our meeting.
