Best software for nonresident tax return?

I am on F1 student visa since Aug 04. I am on OPT for last three months. I will file Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and want to do it myself. Which is the best software for this type of return.

Update:

Is there a website from which I can do it free and e-file?

Update 2:

I think that nonresidents can take personal exemption and itemized deductions.

    Yes, there is software available online to do your 1040NR taxes. When completed, you would print the tax return out and mail it in. (There is no way to efile a 1040NR type return. Telefile never supported it either and telefile disappeared 3 years ago.)

    Check with your school to see if they have access to a package that you can use for free.

    If you are student, realize that there is no magic way to avoid paying taxes. Students on F-1 visas are *not* allowed to itemize any business expenses.

    Living in New Jersey and working in New York is a common situation. And this is by far the most complicated reporting I've ever seen on an individual tax return. Besides the nonresident state issues, you have NYC tax, you have different borough taxes, and you have NJ resident tax. Bite the bullet and find a competent tax pro. The last one of these I did took me four hours, and I've been in the business over 25 years and have prepared more than 10,000 returns in my life.

    there are some free filings if you qualify. Get the tax book and see if Telefile is free. You can file right on the phone.
