    Resident alien or Non resident alien on F1 since 2004
    Hello,

    I am on F1 visa since Jan 2004. What form do I need to fill, will it be 1040 or 1040NR.
    In past I have been filling 1040NR, when does I need to start using form 1040.

    Please advise.

    In 2008, you are still non-resident.
    You can file your 2009 tax return as resident.
