I've lived in the US for 6 years as a student (F1) then did 1 yr of OPT (2006) and converted to H1b (2007), a total of almost 8 yrs. Last year (on OPT) I filed a 1040NR based on my own determination. This year, I'm confused. Should I file as an RA or NRA? My H1b started Oct07. Before that I was getting paid on OPT (F1 visa).
If I have a choice between filing RA and NRA, which one is better overall? Which one will get me a bigger return? I'm not eligible for social security or medicare, can I get that money back ($3700 withheld for both)?
Thank you.
