I'm an H1B visa holder and I have been filing form 1040NR-EZ for the past 9 years. First as a student and now as a worker. I just came across the Substantial Presence Test and realized I can be considered a resident for tax purposes if I pass this SPTest.
So, my question is, should I just file form 1040EZ without any other form? What about deductions? Do I use the regular State income tax as a deduction or can I use what residents usually use, $5000?
Any help would be appreciated... I'm just trying to get a little bit more $ back.
Thanks.
