As many students know, ALL F-1's, and their dependents, must file form 8843 even if they earned no income in the U.S.
If you had no income, complete the top of the form, and Parts I and III, sign on the back, and mail it to the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Austin, Texas 73301-0215.
If you earned income in the U.S., then the 8843 should be attached to your form 1040NR EZ or 1040NR. Otherwise, it should be sent by itself.
Many people ask about questions 9 & 10 on Part III, which ask you to give the name, address and telephone number of your academic institution and the name, address and telephone number of the director of your academic program. Actually, it is not as complicated as it looks. If you were a student at San Francisco State University during 2010, here is what you would write for question 9:
San Francisco State University (SF State)
1600 Holloway Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94132
415-338-1111
For question 10, you would write:
(Your Department's Name)
San Francisco State University (SF State)
1600 Holloway Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94132
415-338-department's main extension
