Thanks for the reply. I have read a lot baed on ur feedback. I guess my questions should have been:
1. How is a non resident taxation different from dual status alien considering both can not claim standard deductions, both are taxed as per slabs?
2. I am shifting to georgia, which apparently doesnt honor FTC. Effectively being a resident will bring in my significan already taxed significant India income into state tax net which can not be written off. Is this understanding correct?
3. Basis my reading it looks like being a full year tax resident is a better option. To opt for this status, i need to complete 183 days this year. Am i right?
