I had ECI but no U.S. wages at all. Is June 15 really the correct due date for my Form 1040-NR?
I am based in South Africa and my only U.S. tax issue is effectively connected business income from services. I had no W-2 wages, no payroll withholding, and no employee status with any U.S. company. Total net U.S.-connected income was about $88,000.
I keep hearing that nonresident returns without wages subject to U.S. withholding get a June 15 deadline instead of April 15. That feels unusual enough that I want to confirm it before relying on it, especially because I do not want to confuse the return due date with the estimated tax rules.
