hey can anybody tell me what is this IRS and filing tax do people in student visa need to do that and if we have CD on any bank do we need to file too?

If you don't have any income in 2007, you do not need to worry about filing tax.

oh ok but one more concern i had worked on check on summer 2005 so can i still file for tax?

Students are supposed to file 1040 NR ( Non Residence) and you are not eligible for Standard Deduction but you are eligible for all expenses related to education ( mandetory expenses, books, excerciese copy, depending upon your education.
So , keep all records of your education expenses by this year. You will be guided how to file tax in your school, but they may not talk about deductions.

No matter how much money you have earned, file tax and you will able to get little refund.

hey TAX veterans..

i have got the quick question.. we are the international students.. i just wanted to know from long time back .. and really curious.. about.. when we file a TAX..

1.. are we suppose to keep it as a citizen or alien..

2... do we get all the money that we paid the school

I forgot to mention foreign students. Keep it safe, if they dig out you have proof that your income was non taxable.

Not tuition  but other mandatory fees and other expenses. books., note copy etc.

LIKE.. YOU MEAN TO SAY.. LIKE IF WE PAY $300 FOR THE BOOKS.. WE CAN GET THEM ALL.. DO WE HAVE TO SAVE UP THE RECEIPT.//
