    I am on h1b status, can I file 1040 ez
    Hi,
    I am currently on H1b status and I entered to US in Oct'09. Now I am in a great confusion on submitting the tax returns. When I tried in one of the websites that is filing taxes free, its showing me the form 1040 EZ, and one of my colleagues said I have to submit 1040 NREZ form...
    Can anyone let me know which form I have to submit?

    Thanks,
    RK

    If you are not married, you can not file resident tax return Form 1040 or 1040-EZ. You must file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.

    On the tax return, you can claim moving expenses. Your U.S. Tax Return: Moving Expenses

    In 2010 you will complete SPT, so you will be eligible to file resident tax return.
