Hi,
I had been studying in California in 07,08 and I graduated in Dec 08. I started my job in Wisconsin in June 09 and worked on OPT (F1 visa) till October after then I was on a H1-B. I was not paying Social and Medicare on OPT (F1) as it was not required. And started paying them after OCT once my visa switched.
1) Previously I was filling by federal taxes from a Non Resident form. Do I have still continue doing the same? Or can I E-file it online this year?
2) Since mine is a very simple tax return with just 1 W2 do I really need to go to CPA?
3) My company paid for my relocation which is reflected in my W2. Is it all right if I claim more than that? The TurboTax suggested that since my own relocation estimate was not that high no point going for itemized deductions.
