Thank you for the clarification. From the instructions it was not clear that form 2555 only applied to citizens and green card holder (I suppose the issue stems from "resident alien" having different meanings for visa and tax purposes).
If I understand correctly, instead of filling form 2555, one option is to choose to file a full year tax return and then fill in form 1116 to offset the taxes I have paid in the foreign country from my foreign income, is that correct? Unlike the dual status return, I can do this on Turbotax, right?
Thank you so much for your help.
