Hi
In October 1st 2009 my visa status was changed from J2 -> H-1B (The H-1B was approved in April 2009). My question is if I wait until the beginning of April 2010 (so than I will be considered as a resident since I've got this status for more than 183 days, and it's before April 15th), can I fill a Dual Status Aliens tax return forms? If so, do I mention my income from January 1st to September 30th (as a nonresident) and the income from October 1st until the end of the year seperatly, or I should fill it all together?
Thanks
