Hi,
I came to USA in Aug 2003 and have been filing 1040 NR for the past 5 (2003 - 2007) years. I know from many of the questions in the forum, that after 5 years I am considered as a resident and hence should be filing 1040.
My question is after 5 years, do I have look into the substantial presence test for residency or should I be filing 1040 regardless?
I have not filed form 8843 previously, is that a big deal?
Thanks for your answering,
Yogesh.
