    Hi,

    If you need to establish your residency for federal taxes, In IRS Publication 519 (2006), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens (Publication 519 (2006), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens ), there is a simple test you can use to decide if you are nonresident or resident alien - http://www.irs.gov/publications/p519/15023t02.html

    Each State has different rules, so you'll have to check for your State.

    Hope this helps.
