    What Tax forms to Fill for 2006? 1040, 1040-EZ, 1040NR-EZ, 1040X
    Hi,

    I am confused about which tax forms to fill for 2006??

    My statistics are as below:
    Single,
    Working for a company for the entire year 2006(For first 2 months Jan & Feb I worked on F1/OPT, For remaining part of the year 2006 worked on H1B)
    H1B status since March 1 2006
    Have been in the US for past 5 years for more than 300 days each year
    For 2005 I filed 1040NR-EZ & 8843

    Which Tax form/s do I need to fill for 2006?? 1040EZ or 1040NR-EZ?? What other forms are needed??

    Please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Alph

    Alph:

    If you arrived in the U.S. on or after 1 January 2002, then you must file as a dual-status alien for 2006, which requires BOTH Form 1040 and 1040NR.

    If you arrived BEFORE 2002 (anytime in 2001 or earlier), then you can file as a resident alien, filing Form 1040EZ, 1040A or 1040.
