When you change back to F-1, you will not get the exemption any more ( you have used up the only one ). So fro August  you will start counting days towards SPT  ( Substantial Presence Test )  -- so you will still be  NRA on the last day of the year -- you need 183 days.    You could ask to be treated as resident -- first year choice.  But you still will not be able to file with your wife because your wife will still be  NRA.

 

Do you need more help on this ?

 

BTW -- which country are you and  your wife from ? -- Sometime the treaty  may allow some relief.
