Hi,

I am a student on F-1 visa - been in US for more than 5 years. I am starting a job on OPT (will switch to H1b in Oct.) visa and my employer has given me a W-4 form. I was wondering which allowances/deductions should I claim to save the most in taxes that will be withheld? I am single with no dependents and I am from India. Also, last year, I filed taxes as a non-resident even though I passed the SPT by attaching a letter to 8843 for the "closer connection" to home country exception. I would like to do the same this year if possible.
