I am a resident of India. I was on OPT status from 2nd Oct 2007 to 31st Sept 2008 and then on H1 B from 1st Oct 2008. I work in Texas hence not subjected to state Tax.
My earning during my OPT after Fedral Tax cut was - 18000$
From 1st Oct 2008, I was subjected to Fedral, Social, and Medicare taxes as I went on H1-B
Earning on H1 B after Social, Medicare and Fedral tax cut - 11000$
So to file taxes for 2008 as I have transitioned from F1 to H1B what forms do I need to fill 1040 NR-EZ or 1040NR and what are the deductions that I get as per the India US treaty. Do I get both the deductions of $5,350 and $3400 as last year when I filed as F1, or do I have some other deductions for this year.
Thanks in advance for all the help that you can provide.
