You will file as a non-resident alien, filing Forms 1040Nr or 1040NR-EZ PLUS Form 8843 ONE LAST TIME!

You CAN file dual-status if you want to wait until 1 June 2012 to file, but the tax refund would be the same, so why wait?

If you are not married, you can file nonresident tax return and form 8843. You can claim tax treaty deduction since you have OPT income. Your U.S. Tax Return: The U.S. Visas
