I recd 2 W-2s from my company. One is when I was on OPT and has no social sec and medicare deducted and the other is after I got my H1.
Shld I combine the incomes and file one form or do I need to file one 1040NR and one 1040EZ.
Please advise.

You will file only one form depending upon you are nonresident or resident for tax purposes.
With the info provided by you, it is impossible to tell you which form you should file.

You are a resident alien and have been since 1 January 2006.

Combine the two W-2s and file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ.
