This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
I was a F-1 student at a US college from Sep 2009 to Jun 2010, out of the country Jul 2010 to Sep 2010, then working in the US on H1B from Oct 2010 to present.
As I understand it, by treaty I can file in the US as a full year resident.
If I do so, am I eligible to claim education credits or tuition deductions?
Sure. As long as you report all world income for 2010.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
