asked

I am an international student on an F1 visa. I was on an unpaid OPT during tax year 2020. My visa history includes being on a J1 visa from August 2015 to August 2017, then changing to an F1 visa in January 2018. I graduated in December 2019 and started an unpaid internship after my OPT was approved in February 2020. I need to know if I should file Form 8843 and how to fill out Part III, Questions 11 and 12, and if I need to send any additional documents with the form. Additionally, I want to confirm if I should file Form 1040 since I had no income in 2020.
