    Urgent: F1 to H1
    Hello Folks!

    I have a question.. :confused:

    Well I was on F1. I worked in my college (oncampus) from jan 2006 - may 2006 and graduated and got my OPT. Then I got my H1 in end of October.

    Well my question is what all federal tax forms do I need to fill up. One big confusion is shld I fill 1040 and 1040NR or only 1040. The biggest mistake I did is in year 2005 I filed my taxes online filled up form 1040 :o .

    Now which forms shld I fill. Please help me out ASAP.

    Thanks guyz,
    Cheers,
    Mamta

    How long were you on F1? If you've been on F1 less than 5 years, then you're non-resident and should be filing 1040NR.

    You really need to amend 2005 and file a 1040NR -- 1040 is not appropriate in your case.

    Listen to TaxSearcher! Even if no taxes were due, your filing of a Form 1040 means you filed INCORRECTLY, which can cause problems if you file for a green card sometime in the future.
