Form 8843第13行Did you apply for, or take other affirmative steps to apply for lawful PR? 应该填YES吗？好像没有看到讨论这一点的。这样不会影响F1签证吗？
Instruction 里面写的很清楚，是关于五年RA/NRA 的，这和你的签证没关系
好的！那如果只是提交i40，也是NRA对吗？
你是H1B/LPR/citizen的话直接是RA，但是你F/J的话要住满5年后才是RA吧（IRS有公式计算）
我看表上说对这个问题的回答会影响NRA判断诶

看起来不是很确定5年的exempt和closer connection这俩优先级哪个更高，
如果是5年->SPT->closer connectionde的话应该是不算RA的？按8843上写的应该是先算5年再看connection的
旧的回复：
这项是判定你closer connection的，学生默认被认为和母国有closer connection，所以你能exempt 5年，但是如果你申请永居，和母国的closer connection就被打破了，这时候你就必须按照RA来报……
按照 26 CFR § 301.7701(b)-2
(f) Closer connection exception unavailable. An alien individual who has personally applied, or taken other affirmative steps, to change his or her status to that of a permanent resident during the current year or has an application pending for adjustment of status during the current year will not be eligible for the closer connection exception. Affirmative steps to change status to that of a permanent resident include, but are not limited to, the following—
(1) The filing of Immigration and Naturalization Form I-508 (Waiver of Immunities) by the alien;
(2) The filing of Immigration and Naturalization Form I-485 (Application for Status as Permanent Resident) by the alien;
(3) The filing of Immigration and Naturalization Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) on behalf of the alien;
(4) The filing of Immigration and Naturalization Form I-140 (Petition for Prospective Immigrant Employee) on behalf of the alien;
(5) The filing of Department of Labor Form ETA-750 (Application for Alien Employment Certification) on behalf of the alien; or
(6) The filing of Department of State Form OF-230 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration) by the alien.
所以交了140/pending就行，就可以按RA报，走standard deduction，还能loss抵税？[应该不能]
我印象中，closer connection是在5年后还想按NRA报税才用的吧 
前五年依然是NRA

irs也不知道你是否提交了i140了啊
好的，非常感谢！
不是，这个应该是5年之后才有这个，5年以内应该还是先扣除
