Hi,I have some questions regarding filing taxes for OPT and H1B stamp.
My situation:
Begins my OPT from July 2010, got a paid job in Jun 2011 which sponsored H1B visa, OPT status extended to Oct 1st 2011 and my H1B status effective since than.
I'm now filing for my 2011 income. I have done some research and I assume that even though I have living in US for the past three years, I'm still eligible to file as a non-resident alien due to the OPT status, right?
Also the employer only provides me W-2, not 1042-S, is that going to be an issue?
My country has a tax treaty with US. Say, if I the amount I owe without tax treaty is 500 and the amount I owe with tax treaty is $50, at which amount of check should I write and send out?
Thank you.
