many thanks. David. really appreciate it
1. if he becomes resident, I guess he can still fill it for dual status or he can only fill it as RA?
2. If he cannot go to USA again and he only stayed in the US for 9 days in 2024 or go to USA in 2024 for saying 14 days holiday but difficult to make an appointment with local IRS. Can he just fill it as NRA in 2025 instead?
3. He doesnt have any job between Jan 1 and 9 in the USA. He may have interests earning for the whole year in the USA. Considering he can make sure stay in the USA for less than 31 days. Does he need to manually calculate the interests he would earn (US bank only not the world) and calculate the tax ?
4. How can he pay the tax in 2024 for the 2024 tax?
5. If he may need to have a holiday, does he need to file a statement about his end date of resident by his tax advisor now?
My friend didnt know the sailing permit at all and he got laid off during Xmas and he even cannot get tax advice during the time (he tried to find tax advisor but on holiday,)
Thanks
J
