If you have stayed in US for <= 5 calendar years as of Dec 31st of last year,
see below.

pub 519 on www.irs.gov
NOTE:
1. if you change from F1 to H1 and you are single,
you may need to file as dual-status or nonresident, depending on
whether you have been on H1 for more than 183 days.
unfortunately you can't take standard deduction in either case.
2. if you change from F1 to H1 and you are married
and you have been on H1 for at least 31 days,
you can file as resident married jointly for the whole year,
and enjoy standard deduction and tax treaty.
However if your H1 days < 183, you need to file extension first.
See First-Year Choice in pub 519 for details.
3. if you have been on H1 for less than 31 days,
you have to file as nonresident.

Note: If your payroll withholds SS/Med tax during your F1 by mistake
and refuses to give you refund, you may file Form 843 with IRS
to get it back if you file as nonresident or dual-status.

If you have stayed in US for >5 calendar years as of Dec 31st of last year,
you should file as resident for last year.
If you are eligible for treaty, see Menu 4 of JingHuaQu.

经验值壹万7了，不算少了吧，
其实主要是回答弱智问题来的。
有时间多读读精华区，就可以出来卖弄了。
实在答不上来，还可以立马google一把，冒充自己学识渊博。
