Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi DaveF1006,

Thank you so much for your response!

I wonder if it's still possible to choose resident status for 2023, based on the information from the screenshot. If I and my wife will both become dual-status aliens for 2023 with the first year choice, do you think we can use this rule to claim resident status for the whole year? This rule mentions that if my spouse was also a nonresident at the beginning of the 2023 year but became a resident at the end, I can claim the resident status for the whole year. Do you think it implies that both of us with dual-status resident status who did not pass the substantial presence test in 2023, can be considered as residents for the whole 2023?
