Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@GregAllum11 Assuming that you were not present in the USA during 2017 and 2018 for any reason/visa and that you moved to the USA with O visa in Jan 2019 ( thus meeting substantial presence by mid year ), yes you should be able to use TurboTax to file your form 1040 as a resident for tax purposes. However, one should note that technically and depending on when you moved to the USA and how much of your UK income you wish to keep out of US taxation, you can actually file as dual status taxpayer - the problem with that situation is that while you may be able to keep your earlier UK income ( during the period you were a NON -Resident ), there are all kinds of restriction on deductions. credits etc. So if I assume that from the date you entered the USA, your would income is mostly US income, then it is easier to file jointly with your spouse and be a resident for the full year ( starting with date you first entered USA ).
