Hi,
I am currently on H1b status and I entered to US in Oct'09. Now I am in a great confusion on submitting the tax returns. When I tried in one of the websites that is filing taxes free, its showing me the form 1040 EZ, and one of my colleagues said I have to submit 1040 NREZ form...
Can anyone let me know which form I have to submit?

Thanks,
RK

If you are not married, you can not file resident tax return Form 1040 or 1040-EZ. You must file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.

On the tax return, you can claim moving expenses. Your U.S. Tax Return: Moving Expenses (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/02/moving-expenses.html)

In 2010 you will complete SPT, so you will be eligible to file resident tax return.
