OPT to H1B. Which tax form is right for me? 1040 or 1040 NR?
I came to US from India on F1 visa in August, 2008. In 2013, I was working on my OPT during the first 9 months. Then my status switched to H1B. I am married and I am not sure which tax form should I file? 1040 NR or 1040? Also am I eligible to file taxes married jointly? My wife as an ITIN. Also will I get the standard deduction which the Indian students get even if I am on H1B now? Also Indian students can claim their spouse as an exemption? Will that apply as well? I am confused. Kindly guide me for the same.
