Per a recent announcement by the IRS, as of December 31, 2017, the personal exemption for all nonresident individual taxpayers has been permanently eliminated. This change to US tax law means that the personal exemption available to nonresidents to minimize taxable income has been reduced from $4,050 in 2017 to $0 in 2018.
Overall taxable income has therefore increased for all individual nonresident taxpayers.
Important Tax Deadlines
