    Substantial Presence Test question - please help
    I hope these will be very specific questions

    1. I have been on H1B status since 06/13/05 (before that on F-1 & OPT). Do I qualify for Substantial Presence test ? I think yes.
    2. If so, do I have to file 1040 or 1040EZ ?
    3. Finally, as a single person filing as a resident - do I still qualify for the standard deduction of $3300 and the $5150 under US / India Tax Treaty.

    Thank you so much for your response.

    1) Yes.

    2) For 1040.

    3) If you file Form 1040, you are filing as a resident alien and therefore CAN claim both the $5,150 standard deduction and the $3,300 personal exemption.
