Hi, I am a german national and have been living and working in the US from mid 2015 to April 2016 and need to finish the tax return for 2016. I meet the substantial presence test for 2016. I am thinking of submiting the statement with my tax return to show that I qualify for the "Earlier residency termination date" (mentioned in pub519), which would be in april 2016.
My question is: do I have to file a dual-status retrun? With 1040NR-EZ as my return and 1040 attachet as a "statement" + the written Statement. Or do I only have to file 1040 or 1040EZ for the part of 2016 that I was a resident alien and only attach the written statement?
