:( hi,

I was on F1 visa in Texas till the month of September. Then moved to North carolina in October to work on OPT till December. So I am still eligible to fill the 1040NR-EZ form. But my confusion is the state tax form since for Texas I did not have to fill one. And now in the D400 state tax form for North Carolina am I still considered a non-resident (since I have Indian citizenship like in the federal tax form) or am I a part time resident since I moved to North Carolina in September on OPT. Please help me out with this doubt since the deadline is approaching.

Thanks in advance.

Paula:

You are a part-year resident of NC. The state does not really care about your visa status, only how long have you been within the borders of NC.

Thanku so much for yr response.

Glad to help!
