    F1 to H1-B, filing taxes?
    Hi,
    My visa status changed from F1 to H1-B in October... In that case, do I need to file in 1040-NR-EZ or 1040-EZ form? Also, if I file NR-EZ, can I take benefits of tax credits (400$)?
    Many Thanks for your help,
    Swati

    I have been in US from Aug 2007 to Oct 2010 on F1-visa. Starting, Oct 2010 I switched to H1-B visa. I am single. Therefore, I do not qualify the substantial presence test. My confusion is whether I should file my taxes as a non-resident or a dual status alien. Any help is highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Swati
