@arthg , sorry , I am not understanding the issue here since you meet the GreenCard test as also SPT during 2024, your start day is always going to be the first day you were legally present in the USA -- it has no carve outs for the type of visa . First year choice is not applicable because that is for persons who do not meet SPT in the current year, but do meet in the following year, they can elect to be treated as a resident in the current year ( but can file ONLY after meeting SPT).
What are trying to do ? How can I help you ?
As I see it you are a resident for the tax year 2024 but ONLY starting with the first day of legal presence. And you still cannot use standard deduction ( because that requires a full calendar year presence ). What am I missing here ?
