Hi,
I've been in the U.S. since September 2005 on a B2 visa.
In April 2006, I've changed my status to F1 and have been in school since then.
I've no income in the U.S. nor any income in my home country Malaysia.
Throughout these years, I've never submitted any income taxes and have not even submitted a form 8843.
However, this year 2013, I've received a 1098t from my school.
Should I file for the tax this year?
Am I be considered a resident alien for tax now?
Which form or forms should I use to file this tax?
Also, my mum's petition for my PR status is still pending.
Will that affect my status?
Please advise.
Thank you.
