Tax for H1b holder

[mycar]

Hi,

I am having H1b since OCT-2006, i was wondering if i have to file 1040 OR 1040-NR tax forms?

last year i filed from a consultant, so i dont know what type of forms were submited :-(

Please advice...

Filing 1040-NR has some implications. Besides H1B visa holders are residents for tax purposes. File 1040.

Thanks!

so, as i live in NJ, work in NYC, do i have to file following forms?

1. NJ - 1040 (but not 1040-NR)
2. NY - 1040 (but not 1040-NR)
3. Federal 1040

Please correct me if i'm wrong....

Most H-1B holders are considered tax residents by meeting SPT, but there's nothing that automatically makes an H-1 holder a resident for tax purposes.
