(1) I changed status from F1-OPT to H1B in June 2016 (2) I am dual status and need to file 1040 Return and 1040NR Statement (3) I worked continously in the US for one company with one W2 for this entire year of 2016 (4) I have no foreign sourced income

Question 1. Do I just pro-rate my wage income from the W2 for filing my income on 1040NR Statement?

Question 2. Do I need to also pro-rate my itemised deductions eg state tax, federal tax and donations?

Since you are only exempt from the substantial presence test for 5 calendar years, you would count all days on F1 in 2016 towards the SPT and would be a resident alien for the entire year, if you were present January 1st 2016

Since when were you on F1?

So I do not count only days I am on OPT before my visa change to H1B for the SPT? And then count the days after my H1B comes into effect for the SPT (which I pass)? Or is it because I am present on Jan 1st 2016. In other words, if I am out of the country from Jan 1st 2016 to Jan 5th 2016, then I will be considered dual status? Many thanks.
