@feb14th1981 - Yes, I used to file NR when I was in F-1. But after I did some research (and went to H&R block and what not), I found out that you CAN file regular 1040 after you have been in the US for a certain amount of time (there was an IRS chart of some sort). @bond_oo7 - I am not sure what you can do in your case (as you have two different visas). I would suggest you check with a tax firm to make sure - as this is your first time on H-1. @Echoes - Yep, that is the link. Thanks for sharing :) @nepal_ko_lato - Please follow Echoes link.
