Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, you could amend your return to be a dual-status alien for tax year 2024. You would need to contact Sprint Tax for details on how to switch your filing from a resident to a dual-status alien since your 1040 NR is your main form.
If you decide not to come back in 2025, this won't affect your 2024 return. You will qualify as a resident in 2025 if you meet the terms of the substantial presence test.
As far as going the way forward, it depends on the choices you make. You decide whether you want to report the foreign income or not. This would be the only consideration in deciding to file as a dual-status or a full-year resident.
if you decide to amend your resident return, get it electronically filed or post-marked by April 15. Pay the amount with the amendment and you don't need to pay penalties and interest. No need to redeposit money unless your amendment is filed late.
