    F1 Student(cpt) to F1 (opt) to H1b.
    I am from India. I was a F1 student in Texas this year till May. During that time I was a full time student and worked on CPT in a firm . Then I applied for my OPt and moved to WA. Due to delay I was able to start working on my OPT from sep 15th. On OCT 31 my H1b Kicked in.

    I have the following questions.1

    1. WHat forms to file?
    2. Can I have the standard deduction of 5500$?
    3. I relocated to WA with my money . Can I use them as deductions. ( I was paid for it as a package which was taxed and paid for)
    4. Will I be able to deduct my Tution money ?
    5. Answers for questions I have not asked :).

    Thanks

    During F1 and OPT you are nonresident for 5-years. So if you did not complete 5-years on F1 till H1-B kicked in, you should file non-resident tax return (if you are not married).
    1. 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ
    2. No
    3. Yes, you can deduct moving expenses
    4. No.
