Hi,

I was on F1 visa till Aug 16 2009 and now I am in permanent resident status from Aug 17 2009. Can I file tax as a resident for the whole year of 2009?

Please let me know what should I do? I was filing as NR from the beginning.

Thanks
Kathmandnp
 
Genearlly, if your country of citizenship has a tax treaty with US, you are allowed to file a full-year resident US tax return, regardless of the fact that you were not full-year resident, under the Non-discrimination Article of said treaty.
