To clarify and so we can properly address your question, tell us about your immigration status and how it changed?

[vickykim1239]

I was under H1B and changed to a green card holder July 2022.

If you have become a green card holder in 2022, you do not need to report a change in your immigration status in your tax return. You are considered a permanent resident for the entire year per IRS guidelines.

Thank you for the reply. Okay, so I was under F-1status, international student, for a really long time, then became H1B during Oct.2021 then shortly after got my green card on July 2022. I’m not sure if I filed as H1B after my F-1 status changed to H1B, didn’t change anything on the TurboTax app since there were no place to change that. Am I still okay to file without any changes?

[DaveF1006]

Yes, you may file as a US resident alien for the entire this year since you received your Green Card this year.
