Hi all: I undertook very short term projects in different states and I now got W2 forms from employer from two different states. Now the timing came up for filing the tax, I want to make sure things are done well. Perhaps some of the expert could help me to answer these  below questions. 1) Is the form called 1040 NR to use after staying continuously for 3 years  ? What about  income tax, medical tax and state tax? Do I need to file separately for  state tax besides 1040 NR? It looks like there is no any state tax in some state but some state does have it. 2) I was also enrolled in retirement plan called TIAA. I used to get reduced salary from employer directly .  The employer used to fund to TIAA and I use to get less in my salary.  I think it won't account for tax because I get salary from employer. Do I need to do any filling related to TIAA? 3) It looks like I can fill TurboTax, do I need to buy the software or it's free? I am hoping that some of you could suggest. Thanks a lot. Yurika.
