    That would dependent what years these visits in te US cover.
    If you were in the US constantly form January 2008 for example, you would still be a non-resident on F1 for 2012.
    Could you provide more details?

    If you got off the pl,an in 2007 or earlier, you were a resident alien for tax purposes for 2012. If 2008 was your arrival year, you become a resident alien THIS year.
