Hello,
I am working in the US since 2018 with a J-1 visa and this year, it is the first year I am considered as resident for tax purposes. I am filling out the Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return 2020 using TurboTax and my Form W-2. At the end of the federal part, I got this question "It looks like you qualified for the stimulus, did you get any payments?". I did not get any payments in 2020 because last year when I filled out my form for 2019 I was not considered as resident so my question is: I became resident for tax purposes for the wages I got in 2020, so should I put "$0" for the stimulus part and then get them as federal refund this year, or "$1200" and "$600" so as not to get them as federal refund?
Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards,
