I came to the U.S. in Fall 2021 for my Master's degree and have been filing my taxes as a 1040-NR for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. However, in October 2024, my visa status changed from F-1 to H-1B. Now, I am trying to determine which tax form I should file. Should I continue with the 1040-NR, or is there a different requirement for H-1B status? I have looked into the Substantial Presence Test to assess my residency status, but I'm still unclear about what steps I need to take. Can you please assist me?
