@jai Nepal please provide your sources before making that kind of statement
You can go to the IRS website and review section on who needs to file taxes:
If your gross income as a resident or citizen is less than 9750 you do not have to file an income tax return.
As a non resident there are certain conditions when you will have to file 1040 NR even if you dont have income if you meet certain conditions: like : trade in the US etc. you can find this info in the instructions of 1040 NR
But if you are a student with no income no trade etc for the whole year there is no need to file income Tax return/1040 NR
International students can file form 8843 to show that you are exempt from consideration of resident alien for tax purposes. This is not a tax form and can be filled and mailed to IRS ( address will be on the form) and it is due June 17 2013 and not April 15 2013.
This is not necessarily a requirement but most people would file it otherwise theoretically irs can come after you and try to tax income from other countries that you may have like in Nepal by assuming you are a resident .
