Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Anonymous 

1. I am missing something here  -- dual status and first year choice do not compute.  It is one or the other for the year

2.  Ideally you do not  want to update W-2 -- ask your employer to issue  you a W-2c --- because IRS will generally go by the copy they have received from the  employer.

3. Generally, your employer is responsible for  part of the FICA contribution and cannot  arbitrarily  do a lump-sum  ( if that is what you mean ) contribution in the following year.

4. For all of the above  reasons  we  really need more detail of the situation-->

 

when did you come into the country first and what visa; are you married and if so to another NRA or resident or citizen or  ?; which country are you from; what type of work did you do in 2020 and was this your first year of work; how did you file for 2019 ? anything else ?

 

Also note that TurboTax  does not support diual status filings even though one can definitely use TurboTax to do the  1040 and  do the 1040-NR by hand and submit by mail.

 

stay safe
