2006年， 1月到5月F1, 5月到10月OPT, 10月到12月H1. 同时1月到7月在Arizona, 7月到12月在LA.
有如下问题：
1.按照俺朋友和tax nerd推荐的办法，
我想选择first year election 那个方式。
也就是填1040表in stead of 1040 NR, 可是之后附的statement需要什么格式么？还是只要写taxnerd说到的那三点就好？
那个183天我不知道是否符合我的情
2. 所以我需要这么交表，
大虾们看看对不对：
for federal: 1040+statement+az w2+caw2+1042S and gross income is azW2+caW2+1042S-5000.
for AZ: 140NR ( my friend said this is easier than the 140 one and makes no difference on the final number) + 1042S+azW2. gross income is AZ W2+1042S and indicate 5000 treaty in a certain item ( don;t know which one yet, there should be one)
for CA:
540 + CA W2, and gross income is CA W2-5000 (not sure here, seems not right)? Should I attach the same statement as the one for federal form with this 540 form?
3. If I handle all those by myself but not a CPA company, can I use E file for free?
非常谢谢，
我已经天天给这玩意儿烦死了，
对算账最没有sense, 也不放心找会计，
不知道会不会负责做。
gross income is azW2+caW2+1042S-5000.
===============================================
1042s shows that you are eligible for 5000 treaty benefits. The amount in 1042s, theoretically, should not be included in gross income. Your equation above yields correct maths number though. ( if your 1042s has a balance of 5000).

if the tax preparer sign your returns,he/she bears responsibility.
恩， 谢谢杉杉， 我就是觉得这东西怎么做都不会错， 只是说退多退少， 怎么说都能说， 所以他要是认真负责的作可以做得很好，马马虎虎的只为攥钱， 1是我也不一定知道， 2是我也没办法， 不可逆转。
the amount on my 1042S is less than 5000, actually added with AZ W2 is still less than 5000. but the income during OPT period in CA would be more than 5000. So I am confused about how to use the 5000 treaty on the state tax.
俺知道俺很笨， 真的是对算账一窍不通阿。

frankly, this is the first time I see this kind of situation.
If I were you, I would do the following:
the gross income= W2s
the line for other income = negative ( 5000-amount on 1042s) and attach 8833 to explain that you are eligible for a total of 5000 treaty benefits. The amount at " other income" is the difference between the total (5000) and the amount that has been deducted from you income ( 1042S).
just my two cents.
