Hello.I am single and currently on F1 Visa which began in July 2009.Prior to that I was on H1 Visa from October 2008-June 2009.So going by the rules I qualify as a dual alien for 2009 and I have to file 1040nr-ez and attach 1040ez as a statement.
My wages are as following.
Wages:$19272
Federal Income tax: $3198
Social Security and Medicare wages: 19272
SS tax withheld: 1194
Medicare tax withheldz:279.43
I have the following questions.1) All the wages I earned above were during my H1 and I haven't earned anything after changing back to F1.So what do I fill in the wages section of the 1040nr-ez form and the same in 1040ez(statement).
2)What all sections have to be filled in the 1040ez form which is my statement.
3)I cannot take the standard deduction in my 1040nr-ez form going by the rules.Can I make use of the same section in the statement(1040 ez)if applicable.
4)I believe I can make use of the personal exemption of $3650 in my 1040nr-ez form.Can I also make use of the US India tax treaty in the same form or the statement?5) Can I itemize my school fees as an itemized deduction?

Thank You in advance

You should file resident tax return and pay SS tax and Medicare tax.

Thanks for the reply.But in 2008 I was on F1 before coming onto H1 from October 08.For 2008 I had filed as a Non resident alien.So why would I have to file as a Resident for 2009.The solution you had given would have been apt if I had filed as dual status alien with First year choice for 2008 and for 2009 I would have been considered as resident for the whole year.But I didn't do so. Do you still think it has to be that way?

You have completed SPT in 2009. Count 1/3 of days on H1-B in 2008 plus days on H1-B in 2009. So you are resident.
