Form to be filled for OPT and H1B in same year
I was on OPT from Jan 07 to Oct 07 and H1B from Oct 07 - DEC 07. Yesterday, I was told that I need to fill two forms for federal return (one for OPT 1040 EZ )and second for H1B (i.e. 1040). I was thinking that I can fill one form (1040) but now I am confused.
1. Please let me know which form do I need to fill
2. Also, I need to file Form 843 to claim Medicare and Social security. Can I send this form with 1040 or Do I need to post it separately.
I am in US for 8 years
Best Regards,
Rohit
