Hey Tax Expert,
I have made the email in form of trivia so that it will be helpful to many people at the same time.
Q1) For all those people who converted from OPT to H1B, what makes them dual status or what makes them resident alien ?
Q2) Dual Status doesn't have to pay the medicare and social security tax. (TRUE / FALSE)
If TRUE, is this valid for WHOLE YEAR or just the part of the year while they were under OPT?
Q3) Forms to be used for dual status are 1040NR / 1040NR-EZ while for resident aliens are 1040/1040EZ (TRUE/FALSE)
Thanks
