I am a Taiwanese national, and have been on H1B since 2006.

Which Tax form should I use ? Am I classified as a resident alien or non-resident alient..

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm almost sure you should be considered as resident alien. As H1B visa holders normally are not exempt individuals.

Please refer to Substantial Presence Test: Substantial Presence Test (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=96352,00.html)

On H1-B your days in the U.S. count toward residency.
For 2008 you MUST file resident tax return Form 1040EZ or 1040A or 1040. Also in 2007, you were resident.
