Hi,
I first entered the States on a J1 (Research Scholar) in 2018 and was on that status until 2021 (March).
I then transitioned to an F1 status - 2021 (April) and maintain F1 since.
As per J1 - I am exempt for the first 2 years. (I filed NR for 2018, 2019, Never Claimed for Tax Treaty).
For 2020 - I filed an R.
For 2021, 2022 - NR (Claimed Tax Treaties as an F1).
This is because for 2021 - I am exempt for 5 years.
Here is a history of my travel dates.
I am curious to know what do I file for 2023? If my exempt years begin in 2018 - then 2022 is my last year of NR (even though I filed R for 2020 due to my status at the time). But as per my F1 status, I have claimed exemption only 4 times in my lifetime.
SprintTax says I'm Non-Resident but I believe for 2023, I should be a Resident for Tax Purposes. Can someone please confirm this to me?
