Hi Santosh:
Most F1 student has to file 1040 NR it will not give you standard deduction (which is 6200), only exemption given.
Therefore many students file 1040 as us citizen or green card holder or on working visa. I have been suggesting students to Itemize which may bring another 2-3 thousand deductible and will give you more refund.
I will ask the person who used to file taxes that way and I will post what were those deductions.
University provides help on filing taxes but they never mention about itemized deductions.
Give me couple days. I will list the things you can itemize.
