F1/OPT to H1b status - what is the tax residency?
Hello,
I am having trouble to determine if I should file 1040-R or 1040-NR for 2022. if so can I use turbo tax for either one of these?
I entered US on Aug 2017 on F1 Visa. I graduted in 2021 and my initial OPT started from Septemeber 2021.
For 2022, I was in OPT status from Jan - Oct 1st and I am on H1b staus since Oct 1, 2022.
My question is: while filing taxes for 2022 am I considered a resident alien and file 1040-R? or is it non-resident alien and I would need to file 1040-NR?
I read on IRS website that F1 students are "expempt" for 5 calendar years and after that Substantial Presence Test determines. So do I count the days to SPT from Aug 2022?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
