Scenario 2: Kim Lee Use the following information to prepare Form 1040-NR. • Kim Lee, a citizen of South Korea, came to the United States in F-1 immigration status (number 3344123344) on January 01, 2023. • He has remained in the country since then and is a full-time student at the local university. Kim, born July 25, 2001, is single. He began working at the university on February 10, 2023. • He filed the proper withholding and treaty forms with the university payroll office before beginning his job. Since filing these forms correctly, he received a Form 1042-S for the treaty benefit for his wages. Kim was not in the U.S. before and therefore, has not filed an U.S. tax return in any prior year. • Kim also received a scholarship from the university he was attending. He filed the appropriate forms to claim his treaty benefit for the scholarship. Therefore, he received a Form 1042-S. • Kim’s address in South Korea is Bldg. 102 Unit 304, Sajik-ro-3-gil (Street) 23, Jongno, Seoul (South Korea) 30174. If he is entitled to a refund, he wants a direct deposit to his checking account. The routing number is 123456789 and the account number is 98765432100. He doesn’t want to designate anyone to discuss his return with the IRS. He did not take any affirmative steps to apply for permanent residence in the U.S. Kim’s U.S. income will not be taxed in his home country. • Using the following information (two Forms 1042-S and a Form W-2), complete Kim’s federal income tax return. (Kim would also need to file Form 8843, but assume that he has already completed that on his own.) 25. Is $8,500 the amount entered on the line for Total amount from Form(s) W-2, box 1 on Form 1040-NR? a. Yes b. No 26. Is $8,500 the amount of adjusted gross income on the Form 1040-NR? a. Yes b. No 27. Is $880 the amount of Itemized deductions on the Form 1040-NR? a. Yes b. No 28. Is $8,420 the amount for taxable income on the Form 1040-NR? a. Yes b. No 29. What is the total amount entered for Total income exempt by a treaty from Schedule OI? a. $0 b. $2,000 c. $6,000 d. $8,000

To provide accurate answers to the questions, I would need the specific amounts from Kim's Forms 1042-S and Form W-2. However, I can explain how to approach each question based on the information typically found on these forms and the general rules for filing Form 1040-NR. 25. The amount entered on the line for Total amount from Form(s) W-2, box 1 on Form 1040-NR should be the total wages before any treaty exemptions. If Kim's Form W-2 shows $8,500 in box 1, and this amount is before applying any treaty benefits, then the answer would be a. Yes. 26. The amount of adjusted gross income on Form 1040-NR would typically include wages from Form W-2 and any other income, minus specific adjustments. If Kim only had wage income of $8,500 and no other income or adjustments, then the answer would be a. Yes. 27. Itemized deductions on Form 1040-NR could include various expenses such as state taxes paid, charitable contributions, and other allowable deductions. Without specific details on Kim's deductions, it's not possible to confirm if $880 is the correct amount. The answer would depend on the actual itemized deductions Kim is eligible to claim. 28. The amount for taxable income on Form 1040-NR is calculated by subtracting the itemized deductions (or the standard deduction if applicable) and exemptions from the adjusted gross
