Hello all,

I was in F1 in year 2012 until October-14 then my status changed to H1B in October-15.

1. should I file 1040NR
2. can I claim tax treaty exemption of 5950

Thank you for your help

Your case is similar to the one posted here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/taxes/f-1-opt-h-1b-2012-what-forms-should-use-740864.html

Thanks that helped a lot.

1.Now I will file 1040 NR EZ and will use 5950 $ for itemized deduction in column11 for tax treaty.

2. Page 2 E ( H1B employee) / F1 OPT / F1 student ( what is right)

3. Page 2 F ( changed from F1 OPT to H1B in October 15)

4. and for form 8843 I am mentioning my school address in column 9, even though I got graduated in December 2011 but I was in OPT. I assume that's right ?
