What's New
For details on these and other changes that may affect your 2009 federal income tax, see Pub. 553, Highlights of 2008 Tax Changes. New rules for former U.S. citizens and former U.S. long-term residents. If you expatriated after June 16, 2008, new rules apply regarding reporting your income and paying U.S. tax. Under new section 877A, you may be subject to income tax on the net unrealized gain on your property as if the property had been sold on the day before your expatriation date. If you are subject to this tax, you are required to file an expatriation statement (Form 8854) with your tax return for the year of expatriation. For more details, see Pub. 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. IRA deduction expanded. You may be able to take an IRA deduction if you were covered by a retirement plan and your 2009 modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $65,000 ($109,000 if married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)). If your spouse was covered by a retirement plan, but you were not, you may be able to take an IRA deduction if your 2009 modified AGI is less than $176,000. Limit on exclusion of gain on sale of main home. Generally, gain from the sale of your main home is no longer excludable from income if it is allocable to periods after 2008 where neither you nor your spouse (or your former spouse) used the property as a main home. See Pub. 553 for more details. Alternative minimum tax (AMT) exemption amount increased. The AMT exemption amount is increased to $46,700 ($70,950 if married filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er); $35,475 if married filing separately). Personal casualty and theft loss limit. Generally, a personal casualty or theft loss must exceed $500 to be

allowed for 2009. This is in addition to the 10% of AGI limit that generally applies to the net loss. Making work pay credit. If you are a resident alien who had earned income in 2009, you may be eligible for a refundable tax credit. The credit is the lesser of: · 6.2% of your earned income for 2009, or · $400 ($800 if married filing jointly). The credit is phased out if your modified AGI is between $75,000 and $95,000 ($150,000 and $190,000 if married filing jointly). Your modified AGI is the amount shown on Form 1040-C, line 17, plus any foreign earned income or housing exclusion and any income you excluded as a bona fide resident of American Samoa. For details, see Internal Revenue Code section 36A. Repayment of first-time homebuyer credit. If you claimed the first-time homebuyer credit on your 2008 income tax return and your home ceased to be your main home in 2009, you must repay the credit by including it as additional tax due on Form 1040-C, line 21. For more information, including exceptions to this repayment requirement, see the 2008 Form 5405. Portion of unemployment compensation not taxable. The first $2,400 of unemployment compensation for 2009 is exempt from federal income tax. Any unemployment compensation over $2,400 is taxable. Additional child tax credit. The earned income threshold generally needed to claim the credit has been reduced to $3,000. New deduction for sales and excise taxes on motor vehicles. Resident aliens may be able to deduct state or local sales and excise taxes paid on the purchase of new cars, light trucks, motor homes, and motorcycles after February 16, 2009, as an itemized deduction or as part of the standard deduction. See Sales and excise taxes on motor vehicles on page 7.

Purpose of Form
Form 1040-C is used by aliens who intend to leave the United States or any of its possessions to: · Report income received or expected to be received for the entire tax year, and · If required, to pay the expected tax liability on that income. Form 1040-C must be filed before an alien leaves the United States or any of its possessions. For more information, see How To Get the Certificate on page 2. If you are a nonresident alien, TIP use the 2008 Instructions for Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, to help you complete Form 1040-C. If you are a resident alien, use TIP the 2008 Instructions for Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to help you complete Form 1040-C. You can get tax forms, instructions, and publications from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). See Additional information, below. Alien status rules. If you are not a citizen of the United States, specific rules apply to determine if you are a resident or nonresident alien. Intent is not a factor in determining your residency status. You are considered a resident alien if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test. However, even though you may otherwise meet the substantial presence test, you will not be considered a U.S. resident if you qualify for the closer connection to a foreign country exception or you are able to qualify as a nonresident alien by reason of a tax treaty. These tests and the exception are discussed in the instructions for Part I starting on page 3. Additional information. For more information on taxation of resident and nonresident aliens, residency tests, and other special rules, see Pub. 519.

In the United States, you can get tax forms, instructions, and publications from the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676. You can also download them from the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

Treaty Benefits
If you take the position that a treaty of the United States overrides or modifies any provision of the Internal Revenue Code and that position reduces (or potentially reduces) your tax, you may have to file Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return Position Disclosure Under Section 6114 or 7701(b), with your final U.S. income tax return. See Pub. 519 for more information.

Final Return Required
A Form 1040-C is not a final return. You must file a final income tax return after your tax year ends. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien on the last day of the year, you should file Form 1040 reporting your worldwide income. If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident alien on the last day of the year, you should generally file Form 1040NR or, if eligible, Form 1040NR-EZ, U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens With No Dependents. However, certain individuals who were resident aliens at the beginning of the tax year but nonresident aliens at the end of the tax year must file a "dual-status" return. See Dual-status tax year on page 4. Any tax you pay with Form 1040-C counts as a credit against tax on your final return. Any overpayment shown on Form 1040-C will be refunded only if and to the extent your final return for the tax year shows an overpayment.

Certificate of Compliance
Note. The issuance of a certificate of compliance is not a final determination of your tax liability. If it is later determined that you owe more tax, you will have to pay the additional tax due. Form 1040-C or Form 2063. If you are an alien, you should not leave the United States or any of its possessions without getting a certificate of compliance from your IRS Field Assistance Area Director on Form 1040-C or Form 2063, U.S. Departing Alien Income Tax Statement, unless you meet one of the Exceptions on this page. You can file the shorter Form 2063 if you have filed all U.S. income tax

returns you were required to file, you paid any tax due, and either of the following applies. · You have no taxable income for the year of departure and for the preceding year (if the time for filing the earlier year's return has not passed). · You are a resident alien with taxable income for the preceding year or for the year of departure, but the Area Director has decided that your leaving will not hinder collecting the tax. Exceptions. You do not need a certificate of compliance if: 1. You are a representative of a foreign government who holds a diplomatic passport, a member of the representative's household, a servant who accompanies the representative, an employee of an international organization or foreign government whose pay for official services is exempt from U.S. taxes and who has no other U.S. source income, or a member of the employee's household who was not paid by U.S. sources. However, if you signed a waiver of nonimmigrants' privileges as a condition of holding both your job and your status as an immigrant, this exception does not apply, and you must get a certificate. 2. You are a student, industrial trainee, or exchange visitor, or the spouse or child of such an individual. To qualify for this exception, you must have an F-1, F-2, H-3, H-4, J-1, J-2, or Q visa. Additionally, you must not have received any income from sources in the United States other than: a. Allowances covering expenses incident to your study or training in the United States (including expenses for travel, maintenance, and tuition), b. The value of any services or accommodations furnished incident to such study or training, c. Income from employment authorized under U.S. immigration laws, or d.

To qualify, you must not have received any income from sources in the United States other than: a. Income from employment authorized under U.S. immigration laws, or b. Interest on deposits, but only if that interest is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. 4. Any of the following apply. -2-

a. You are on a pleasure trip and have a B-2 visa. b. You are on a business trip, have a B-1 visa or a combined B-1/ B-2 visa, and do not stay in the United States or any of its possessions for more than 90 days during the tax year. c. You are passing through the United States or any of its possessions, including travel on a C-1 visa or under a contract, such as a bond agreement, between a transportation line and the U.S. Attorney General. d.

You do not need to carry passports, visas, or border-crossing identification cards because you are (i) visiting for pleasure or (ii) visiting for business and do not stay in the United States or any of its possessions for more than 90 days during the tax year. f. You are a resident of Canada or Mexico who commutes frequently to the United States to work and your wages are subject to income tax withholding. g. You are a military trainee admitted for instruction under the Department of Defense and you will leave the United States on official military travel orders. However, exception 4 does not apply if the Area Director believes you had taxable income during the tax year, up through your departure date, or during the preceding tax year and that your leaving the United States would hinder collecting the tax.

How To Get the Certificate
To get a certificate of compliance, go to your local IRS office at least 2 weeks before you leave the United States and file either Form 2063 or Form 1040-C and any other required tax returns that have not been filed. The certificate may not be issued more than 30 days before you leave. If both you and your spouse are aliens and both of you are leaving the United States, both of you must go to the IRS office. Please be prepared to furnish your anticipated date of departure and bring the following records with you if they apply. 1. A valid passport with your alien registration card or visa. 2. Copies of your U.S. income tax returns filed for the past 2 years. If you were in the United States for less than 2 years, bring copies of the income tax returns you filed for that period.

3. Receipts for income taxes paid on these returns. 4. Receipts, bank records, canceled checks, and other documents that prove your deductions, business expenses, and dependents claimed on the returns. 5. A statement from each employer you worked for this year showing wages paid and tax withheld. If you are self-employed, you must bring a statement of income and expenses up to the date you plan to leave. 6. Proof of any payments of estimated tax for the past year and the current year. 7. Documents showing any gain or loss from the sale of personal and/ or real property, including capital assets and merchandise. 8.

Documents indicating qualification for special tax treaty benefits. 10. Document verifying your date of departure from the United States, such as an airline ticket. 11. Document verifying your U.S. taxpayer identification number, such as a social security card or an IRS-issued CP 565 showing your individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Note. If you are married and reside in a community property state, also bring the above-listed documents for your spouse. This applies whether or not your spouse requires a certificate. If you are filing Form 1040-C, file an original and one copy for the tax year in which you plan to leave. If you are departing between January 1, 2009, and April 15, 2009, you must also file Form 1040NR or Form 1040 for 2008, and pay any tax due. Generally, a certificate of compliance on Form 1040-C will be issued without your paying tax or posting bond if you have not received a termination assessment. A termination assessment is a demand for immediate payment of income tax for the current and immediately preceding year. This certificate applies to all of your departures during the current tax year, subject to revocation on any later departure if the Area Director believes your leaving would hinder collecting the tax.

If you owe income tax and the Area Director determines that your departure will jeopardize the collection of the tax, a certificate of compliance on Form 1040-C will be issued only when you pay the tax due or post bond, and the certificate will apply only to the departure for which it is issued.

If the tax period of the alien is terminated, the tax period of his or her spouse is terminated at the same time.

Status--Resident or Nonresident Alien
Generally, you are considered a resident alien if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for 2009. You are considered a nonresident alien for the year if you do not meet either of these tests. For more information on resident and nonresident alien status, see Pub. 519. Green card test. You are a resident alien for tax purposes if you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States at any time during 2009. You are a lawful permanent resident of the United States if you have been given the privilege, under U.S. immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant. You generally have this status if the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has issued you an alien registration card, also known as a "green card." Substantial presence test. You are considered a resident alien for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for 2009. You meet this test if you were physically present in the United States for at least: · 31 days during 2009, and · 183 days during the period 2009, 2008, and 2007, counting all the days of physical presence in 2009, 1/3 of the number of days of presence in 2008, and 1/6 of the number of days in 2007. Days of presence in the United States. Generally, you are treated as present in the United States on any day that you are physically present in the country at any time during the day. However, you do not count the following days of presence in the United States for purposes of the substantial presence test. · Days you regularly commuted to work in the United States from a residence in Canada or Mexico. · Days you were in the United States for less than 24 hours while you were traveling between two places outside the United States.

Also, include both spouses' income in Part III and furnish both spouses' information in Part I of the form. It may be necessary to complete a separate Part I for each spouse. Identifying number. You must enter your identifying number. Generally, this is your social security number (SSN). If you do not have an SSN and are eligible for one, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration (SSA) office or call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. You can also download Form SS-5 from the SSA's website at www.socialsecurity. gov/online/ss-5.html. You must visit an SSA office in person and submit your Form SS-5 along with original documentation showing your age, identity, immigration status, and authority to work in the United States. If you are an F-1 or M-1 student, you must also show your Form I-20. If you are a J-1 exchange visitor, you will also need to show your Form DS-2019. Generally, you will receive your card about 2 weeks after the SSA has all of the necessary information.

Dual-status tax year. Generally, if you are a resident alien and you leave the United States during the year with no intent to return, you have a dual-status tax year and are subject to dual-status restrictions in completing Form 1040-C. A dual-status tax year is one in which you have been both a resident alien

and a nonresident alien. In figuring your income tax liability, different U.S. income tax rules apply to each status. See the Form 1040NR instructions for details. Note. Certain resident aliens who leave the United States during the year with no intent to return may be subject to tax under section 877A. These resident aliens compute their tax using the method prescribed under section 877A when completing Form 1040-C. See chapter 4 of Pub. 519 for more information. Income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business -- nonresident aliens. If you are a nonresident alien, the tax on your income depends on whether the income is or is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (including wages earned by an employee) is taxed at the graduated rates that apply to U.S. citizens and resident aliens. Income you receive as a partner in a partnership or as a beneficiary of an estate or trust is considered effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business if the partnership, estate, or trust conducts a U.S. trade or business. Income from U.S. sources that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business is generally taxed at 30%. Your rate may be lower if the country of which you are a resident and the United States have a treaty setting lower rates. For a list of the types of income not considered effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, see the instructions for Schedule A on page 5 and Schedule B on page 6. If you are a nonresident alien in the United States to study or train, see Pub. 519.

If you are a nonresident alien not engaged in a trade or business in the United States, you cannot claim any personal exemptions for income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.
