Hi,
First of all thanks for all the wonderful tax advice,esp. for F1/H1B guys.
Previous years':I entered US as an F1 student in 2006.
My OPT started from Nov 1st 2008 and I started working from Dec-2008.
I have filed 1040NR-EZ+8843 for all three years before this(2006,2007 and 2008).
For the year 2009: I work in Oregon.I am single.I was F1-OPT till Oct and from Oct 1st,I have been on H1B.
1) From some of the previous posts,I have verified that I have to file 1040NR-EZ for 2009 also.I just want to get that confirmed.
2) I filed 8843 also last year because I was a student for some part of the year.For the year 2009 I have been an employee only throughout. Do I still have to file 8843 for 2009?
3)For the state tax,since I was in two states for 2008,I filed as a non-resident for both states.For 2009,I have been in only one state throughout(Oregon) and from the instruction forms,it looks like I have to file as a non-resident again(form 40N)
This is what the instruction form says:
Am I a resident, a nonresident, or a part-year resident?
The following will help you decide:
• You are a full-year Oregon resident, even if you live
Outside Oregon, if all of the following are true:
— You think of Oregon as your permanent home; and
— Oregon is the center of your financial, social, and
Family life; and
— Oregon is the place you intend to come back to
When you are away.
You are still a full-year resident if:
— You temporarily moved out of Oregon, or
— You moved back to Oregon after a temporary absence.
You may also be considered a full-year resident if
You spent more than 200 days in Oregon during the
Tax year or if you are a nonresident alien.
• You are a nonresident if your permanent home was
outside Oregon all year.
• You are a part-year resident if you moved into or out
Of Oregon during 2004. You are not a part-year resident
If:
— You temporarily moved out of Oregon, or
— You moved back to Oregon after a temporary absence.

Can anyone confirm this from me.
Thanks,
Hope the replies will be useful for many others who are in similar situation.
