I was on OPT (optional practical training) i.e. Student (F-1) visa till August 4 2002 and then on H1-B visa for the rest of the year.
Should I file my taxes as Resident alien (1040/1040EZ) or as Non-resident Alien (1040NR/1040NR-EZ)?
What I understand is that if you are less than 183 days on H1-B and rest of the year you are on F-1 visa, you can consider yourself as non-resident for tax purposes. Am I right?
I would really appreciate some advise in this matter. Thanks!
