Dear Tax expert:

My info:
F-1 Visa: Jan 2002 - Sept 2006
OPT: March 2006 - Sept 2006
H-1B Visa: Oct 2006 - Present

Questions:
1) Will I be considered a "dual status" for tax returns in FY2006?
2) Should I be filling W-9 or W-8BEN for banking purposes (received a form from Citibank requesting to do so).

Thank you.
