Hi,

I moved to US on 17th Dec ,2007 and I tend to stay till 10th Dec, 2008 . Could any body please help me to know whether I would be considered as resident alien or non resident alien .

Hi,

If you need to establish your residency for federal taxes, In IRS Publication 519 (2006), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens (Publication 519 (2006), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens (http://www.irs.gov/publications/p519/ch01.html#d0e449) ), there is a simple test you can use to decide if you are nonresident or resident alien - http://www.irs.gov/publications/p519/15023t02.html

Each State has different rules, so you'll have to check for your State.

Hope this helps.
