    H1 B Visa Deductions??
    Hello

    I am on H1 B for the year 2004. I came to US in October 2004 - December 2004 to work on H1 B Visa
    In 2003 I was on F1 Visa and studies in the US till June-2003 - graduated and went back to Middle East to work
    I was on F1 Visa for the year 2002 (studying Bachelors)
    I was on F1 Visa for the year 2001 (studying Bachelors)
    Also, I failed the SUBSTANTIAL PRESENCE TEST
    I was never on OPT.

    My question is
    Do I get the following deductions ?
    $4850 (Standard Deduction)
    $3100 (Exemption Deduction)
