I did "Kao Gu" FAQ, but still a little confused:(
I came to US in August 2003 on F1 and stayed as F1 till now.
My husband is a F1 student, but he came to Us in August 2004. (which only 4
calendar years till now)
I'm working using CPT now. I have a couple questions about tax on 2008.
According to FAQ, I should be able to file tax as a resident for 2008. 2008
is my first year of residency and I will meet the substantial presence test
since I am present in US for the whole year of 2008. I can count

you are right.
You can take both the benefits of standard deduction and the $5000 tax
treaty deduction.

Thank you so much for the reply. Another question to bother:
Usually, at the end of each year when I was a student, I have to fill a 8233
form and submit to school.
I am now working in a company using CPT, should I submit a 8233 to my
employer? or should I submit a W-9 to my employer since I am considered
resident for tax purpose but still under tax treaty? or should I just fill a
8833 when I file a tax return?

You are right, no need to file 8233 since you opt for resident status
