Hi.
I found this on RTD instruction sheet. Could someone explain what this means?
"What if you claim nonresident alien status on your Federal Income Tax Return?
If you are an alien who has established residence in the United States after having been admitted as an immigrant or adjusted status to that of an immigrant, and are considering the filing of a nonresident alien tax return or the non-filing of a tax return on the ground that you are a nonresident alien, you should carefully review the consequences of such actions....
If you file a nonresident alien tax return or fail to file a tax return, you may be regarded as having abandoned residence in the United States and as having lost your permanent residence under the Act. As a consequence, you may be ineligible for a visa or other document for which permanent resident aliens are eligible.
You may also be inadmissible to the United States if you seek admission as a returning resident, and you may become ineligible for adjustment of status as a permanent resident, or naturalization on the basis of your original entry. "
I'm a derivative asylee ( who just got approved last week ) and my tax professor was telling me that I could claim for Social Security withholdings as I'm an "international student" ( which I was when she told me about it, I wasn't approved then ). Should I no longer claim it?
Also, does any of the things said in the above guidelines relate to me and I should be careful about?
