Filing US tax returns for the first time, don't qualify as a resident in 2020. Any advise on how to go about filling and submitting form 1040 NR? Do I need to go look for an accountant?

Sprintax is the closest you’re gonna get to TurboTax for a non resident alien

Sprintax and Glacier tax prep are both good options for this.

TaxAct also offers NR service

Do NOT PAY. You can do it yourself. Please. Google the form. Read the detailed instructions. File. The end. If it’s your first time filing you likely have a simple return anyway.

ZS1 - I have the form and a superficial sense of what I need to do, but I'm also having a hard time figuring out NR tax brackets, terms and considerations for claiming standard deduction, state specific NR tax laws etc. I'm sure I can figure all this out if I keep digging, but I feel like I need to draw a line somewhere. I can always figure this stuff out later by comparing to turbotax or something when I'm filing as a resident.

Related note - does anyone know if I need to and should have the word "apprentice" in my occupation to claim std deduction as a NR?

So I decided to do some research and came up with the following:

You can, in fact, not claim standard deduction as an NR unless you're a student or an intern. You have to do itemized deductions.

Some states, like the one I'm in currently, don't allow you to efile state tax as an NR, and I don't think manually filing is the best option at this time.

Do you think it’s okay for a hiring manager to ask folks that they think may know you because they may have worked with you for references without asking you for references or asking you if it’s okay to ask?

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
