Hi experts.
Want to clarify:
I came to the US 2021 as F1 (student visa). Changed to H1B, Oct 2022, and have been on H1B since then.
Would i be able able to file my 2023 taxes as Resident Alien given that combining all my stay in the US, I should have met the Substantial Presence Test?
Or is my Substantial Presence Test number of days only valid for the period I am on H1B?
So want to know if I can go ahead to file my taxes as Resident Alien instead of Non Resident Alien. I don’t want to lose the tax benefit of a resident Alien.
(I know Resident Alien for tax purpose is different from Resident Alien from the USCIS categorization).
Many thanks for your help.
