Hi

I changed from F1 to H1 visa last year. My F1 was valid till Dec 2007 and My H1 is valid from 10/01/2007. So for tax purposes for the period oct-07 until lDec-07 will I be counted as being on H1 to F1 since there is an overlap on the validity.

Thanks

Yes, you are on H1-B since 10/01/2007. You must pay FICA taxes on H1-B income.
For 2008, you will file resident tax return. Read about H1-B tax filing: Your U.S. Tax Return: The U.S. Visas (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/08/us-visas.html)
