Hello,
I am Ishan. I am an International Student from India. I came to united states in December 2007 with my F-1 Visa. I got my undergraduate degree in May 2012. I have been on F-1 for more than 5 years. My question is should I file 1040-NR-EZ or 1040-EZ. When I try to you use Windsor and glacier tax service, it says I can't use it because as of now I am resident alien. But in IRS-Publication, F-1 Student are exempt from counting days for first 5 years, if I take that into consideration than I am Non-Resident alien. Are the 16th days in 2007 counted as year for tax purpose? If yes, then 2012 will be my 6th year for tax purpose and I have been in 2012 for 340 days.
So I am really confused on what is my status for Tax purpose? If I am resident alien, can I use India-US treat?
If you need any more info, please let me know.
Thank you,
Ishan
