Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you for your reply, and sorry to ask again.

 

To remove any ambiguity, I am not a US citizen or permanent resident, I was a on work visa and since I lived in US for multiple years + 3 months in 2024, I am considered a tax resident until the date I left USA (substantial presence test); at the end of the year 2024, I am considered a nonresident for tax purpose; this is why I added a statement ( Statement for Dual-Status Alien Filing) where I explained the timelines, the status and a declaration of residency termination as of the date I left USA.

 

Aren’t these the expected steps? It is not clearly detailed in this IRS document, but it mentions the statement part: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/taxation-of-dual-status-individuals
