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.) • After completing the required tax form, review the scenario and resource materials, and answer each of the test questions Forms W2 & 1042-S, Page 1 22222 a Employee’s social security number OMB No. 1545-0008 b Employer identification number (EIN) c Employer’s name, address, and ZIP code d Control number e Employee’s first name and initial Last name Suff. f Employee’s address and ZIP code 1 Wages, tips, other compensation 2 Federal income tax withheld 3 Social security wages 4 Social security tax withheld 5 Medicare wages and tips 6 Medicare tax withheld 7 Social security tips 8 Allocated tips 9 10 Dependent care benefits 11 Nonqualified plans 12a C o d e 12b C o d e 12c C o d e 12d C o d e 13 Statutory employee Retirement plan Third-party sick pay 14 Other 15 State Employer’s state ID number 16 State wages, tips, etc. 17 State income tax 18 Local wages, tips, etc. 19 Local income tax 20 Locality name Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement 2023 Department of the Treasury—Internal Revenue Service Copy 1—For State, City, or Local Tax Department XXX-XX-XXXX XX-XXXXXXX State University 122 Main Street Your City, YS XXXXX Kim Lee 245 2nd Street International Hall Your City, YS XXXXX 8,500.00 800.00Form 1042-S, Page 2 Form 1042-S Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding Go to www.irs.gov/Form1042S for instructions and the latest information. 2023 UNIQUE FORM IDENTIFIER AMENDED AMENDMENT NO.
