    Hi,

    I'm almost sure you should be considered as resident alien. As H1B visa holders normally are not exempt individuals.

    Please refer to Substantial Presence Test: Substantial Presence Test

    On H1-B your days in the U.S. count toward residency.
    For 2008 you MUST file resident tax return Form 1040EZ or 1040A or 1040. Also in 2007, you were resident.
