Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @LinaJ2020, I am switching from F1 to H-1B, hence, the 6-year look back rule does not apply in my case. I have been on J1 back in 2010/2011. The question is whether I can use the student exception to the 5-year lifetime limit for F1/J1 if I have changed to H-1B on October 2020 and I am no longer a student at the end of the tax year 2020?

 

Thanks,
