How to fill taxes when switching from F1 to H1B in 2020?

Hi everyone!

I have questions regarding 2020 taxes. I arrived in the US in September 2018 under my F-1 visa. Then in September 2019 I started my OPT and finally on October 1st 2020 my status changed to H1B. So in 2020, from January 1st to September 30th I was under F1 (not paying FICA taxes), and from October 1st to December 31st I was under my H1B status (paying FICA taxes). I have my W-2 but I can't figure out how to fill my taxes correctly this year since I was under my F1 for most of the time.

How do I fill my taxes this year?

I read different stuff about the substantial presence test or filling as a dual status, or getting FICA back because it doesn't count for this year as I was mostly an F1. I'm so confused, if someone has any answers for me it would be very much appreciated!! :)

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
