H1B first time filing W4, should I file as Resident Alien or Non Resident Alien?

Question

Please tell me whether I must file W4 as Resident Alien or Non Resident Alien?

I entered the US on H1B in early June with family. I need to file W4 for withholding taxes.
By the end of this year I will meet the substantial presence test i.e lived for more than 183 day in the current year.

So, how was it, I'm in a similar situation and don't know what to do. money.stackexchange.com/questions/64068/… — felipeclopes, Commented May 13, 2016 at 19:30

That means that for tax purposes you'll be considered resident.
