I have been at the same institution in the USA on an F-1 visa since August 2008. I am single with no dependents. I am from the United Kingdom. I have filed the 1040-NR EZ for my federal return in the years 2008 through 2012, using university provided software. In 2013 I was in the USA for over 11 months of the year. I understand that after 5 years in the USA I am entitled to file as a resident rather than non-resident, therefore the question I have is
a) Should I file a 1040 rather than a 1040-NR for my federal tax return for 2013,
And subsequently,
b) Can I just do this using one of the many free filing options (eg TurboTax, TaxHawk etc.)
Thank you in advance
