Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@krishnan-success21 , for Tax Year 2024

1.  you would still be a Non-Resident Alien and therefore taxed ONLY on US sourced income.

2. Because  your  first day in the country ( absent any other visits etc. )  is not Jan 1st 2024,  you would not be able to use standard deduction. This means there is no advantage  by including your spouse and child  on your return ( if you chose  to be treated as a resident for tax purposes, were taxed on your world income etc.

 

Thus  you should file as a Non-Resident, be taxed ONLY on US sourced income using form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax ( use  tax professional,  on-line like  SprinTax or similar ).

For Tax year 2025, you will pass the  SPT ( Substantial Presence Test ),  you  should  consider  your wife  + child as dependents ( unless  she moves to US, in which case you should be able to file as MFJ -- Married Filing Joint.

 

Is there more I can dol for you ?

Namaste ji
