Help Needed for Nonresident Tax Filing (OPT, TPS, Incorrect W-2)
Hello, I need assistance with filing my 2024 taxes as a nonresident alien for tax purposes. Here’s my situation: I was on an F-1 visa with OPT for most of 2024, and I am now under TPS (Temporary Protected Status). As an F-1 visa holder for less than 5 years, I am exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes, but my employer mistakenly withheld these taxes from my paycheck. My W-2 is incorrect because it does not properly reflect my earnings or tax withholdings. However, my employer provided a separate document showing my gross and net earnings so I can calculate and pay what I actually owe. I need to file Form 1040-NR and Form 8843 to notify the IRS of my tax status. I also bought and sold $10 of cryptocurrency, which I need to report. My main priority is correctly filing my taxes and ensuring I pay only what I actually owe while also addressing the W-2 issue. Where can I find a CPA or tax expert experienced with nonresident tax filing for individuals on OPT/TPS? Would you be able to assist me, or can you recommend someone?
