Here is my situation:

I am an Chinese citizen and came to US on 27th August 2008 on H1B Visa. Since 27th August 2008, I have been working in USA. However, I do not satisfy the Substantial Presence Test. From January to June 2008 I received salary from Chinese company. Now I am about filing taxes forms, and I really not sure which status I should be.

My Questions is:

1. Can I file taxes as a nonresident citizen?
2. Which form do I need to file?

Your help is really appreciated. Thank you very much!

If you are single, then you can file only the nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.
