    F1 to H1-B tax returns
    Hi everyone,

    I'm filing my 2011 taxes. I was under OPT till September 30,2011 and H1-B visa from October 1,2011. Do I qualify for the tax treaty with India? What is the deduction that I can get from this treaty?

    Do I need to file 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843? Do I need to send the copy of my H1-B visa along with the completed forms?

    1040NR-EZ

    E If you had a visa on the last day of the tax year, enter your visa type. If you did not have a visa, enter your U.S. Immigration
    Status on the last day of the tax year.
    F Have you ever changed your visa type (nonimmigrant status) or U.S. Immigration status? Yes No
    If you answered “Yes,” indicate the date and nature of the change

    Form 8843

    If the type of visa you held during any
    Of these years changed, attach a statement showing the new visa type and the date it was acquired.

    Thank you in advance,
    Nik

    If you did not complete 5 years on F1/OPT, you will file nonresident tax return. If you have income during OPT, you can claim treaty deduction.
