H1B -> F1 during 2006: Resident or NR?
Hello, during my stay in the USA, I have filed tax returns for 2 different states (on F1), and also experienced the F1-OPT-H1B transition (again spread across two states) previously.
This time its H1B -> F1 across two states. I need help and well, correct information would do me a world of good. Thanks to everyone who responds to me on this subject.
The complicated scenario is as explained below with questions.
From Jan. - Jul. (mid) I was on H1-B VISA and in Cali. Thereafter I have been a student at Univ. and an F1 VISA holder till the end of the year. I have 2 W-2 statements, one from my company (CA) and one from Univ. (GA). I also have 3-4 1099 (interests accrued from my bank/brokerage accounts).
1. Should I file as a NR or a R for federal?
2. For GA and CA, should I file as a NR or R?3.
3. How do I find the fraction of the total income to be accounted for in each of the stat tax returns?
4. Do I include my 1099 for tax filing purposes if I am filing as an NR/R/dual status?
5. I sold my stock options from "my company" when I left in AUG, 06. If they are not there on the W-2 I received from them, where can I find them and how will I account them?
(in other words, are they already accounted for in my W-2 income box?)
Rgds,
-student:)
A reply would be highly appreciated.
