L1 A 1040 NR to 1040 & Recovery Rebate eligibility
Hi
I have 2 questions -
I started working in the US on L1 A visa in Dec of 2007. Hence I filed my returns on the 1040 NR form for 2007.
Question 1 -
I have worked through 2008 in the US. I assume I can now use the standard 1040 form, as I meet the substantial presence criteria for 2008. I have a wife and 2 kids (as dependants), filing jointly. Please correct me if I am wrong and what I need to be doing instead?
Question 2-
Since I filed as Non-Resident alien for 2007, I was not eligible for the stimulus check at that time. Now that I have been a resident for the past whole year, will I be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit?
Your advice will be very much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
