Hi,

I tried to figure out how to file my tax by reading previous answers, but still kind of lost... Here is my situation:

I came to US on 08-22-2004
OPT until 11-03-2006
H1B 11-03-2006

I left US on 11-24-2006 and entered on 12-16-2006. Should I fill up 1040-EZ (first year choice of residency) ? Or 1040NR-EZ ? Or am I dual-status?

Thanks a lot for your time and guidance :)

You need to file as a non-resident alien one last time, filing Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.

In 2007, you will file as a resident alien.
