The Schedule NEC (SP) is the supplemental page attached to the Form 1040‑NR that reports income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (non‑ECI). It is used by nonresident aliens to calculate the tax on U.S. source income such as dividends, interest, and certain capital gains.

What Is Schedule NEC (SP)?
Schedule NEC (SP) separates taxable U.S. source income into three rate columns (10 %, 15 %, 30 % or a treaty‑adjusted rate). Each line corresponds to a specific type of income, allowing you to apply the correct withholding or treaty rate before the total is carried to Form 1040‑NR.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Mixing ECI with non‑ECI income: Only non‑effectively connected items belong on Schedule NEC.
- Using the wrong tax‑rate column: Verify treaty rates before selecting columns (a‑d).
- Leaving lines blank: Even a $0 entry should be entered to keep the form complete.
- Forgetting to attach Schedule NEC to Form 1040‑NR: The Schedule is not filed separately.
