This classification is not the same as the definition of a resident and a nonresident alien that is used in US immigration law. A resident alien's income is generally taxed in the same way as a US citizen. In simple terms, If you are not a U.S. citizen, you are considered a nonresident alien for tax purposes, unless you meet one of two tests during the calendar year (January 1 – December 31), in which case you would be considered a resident alien for tax purposes. The first test is called the Green Card Test. And is applicable when you are admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, or you change your status to a Lawful Permanent Resident. The second test is the Substantial Presence Test (which is a numerical formula that measures your days of presence in the United States). It works like this You must be present in the US for 31 days during the current year for which your are filing a tax return AND You must be present in the US for a period of 183 days calculated by adding ALL the days of presence in the current year + ⅓ of the total days in the last year + ⅙ of the total days you were present in the last 2 years. When determining your tax residency using the Substantial Presence Test, it is important to have a record of your travel into and out of the United States as a US nonimmigrant visa holder. Generally international students who have been in the US for less than 5 calendar years on an F, J, M, and Q visas, are considered as exempt individuals and are considered as nonresident aliens for tax purposes. Differences between an taxation of a resident alien for tax purposes and one who is a non-resident alien for tax purposes. #1: Tax Forms Nonresident alien tax payers file federal taxes with the Tax Form 1040NR, while resident alien tax payers file taxes with the Tax Form 1040NR. #2: Taxes on foreign Income As a non-resident alien for tax purposes, you generally pay income taxes from US sources, unlike resident aliens who must pay taxes on worldwide income #3. Social security and Medicare Taxes - FICA TAX (7.65% of Income saved) International students who are nonresident alien tax payers don't pay FICA tax. While international students who are resident alien tax payers, pay the FICA tax. #4. Tax Deduction and Credits Taxpayers who are non-resident alien for tax purposes, typically do not get as much tax deductions and tax credits that US resident aliens and US citizens enjoy come tax time. State Tax Residency Rules In some states, the tax residency rules treat temporary residents such as international students as nonresidents for tax purposes regardless of how long they have resided in the state, while some other states have tax residency rules where international students could be considered residents for tax purposes after residing in the state for a certain period of time. As a resident of a state, you are expected to pay taxes on all your sources of income, while as a non-resident, you only pay taxes on the sources of income coming from the state.
