Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, you also have to file a tax return for Puerto Rico since you are not a bona fide resident for 2021, along with a US tax return.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, but not a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico during the tax year, you must generally file the following returns.
- A Puerto Rico tax return reporting only your income from Puerto Rico sources. Wages for services performed in Puerto Rico, whether for a private employer, the U.S. government, or otherwise, are income from Puerto Rico sources.
- A U.S. tax return reporting income from worldwide sources. Generally, you can claim a foreign tax credit for income taxes paid to Puerto Rico on the Puerto Rico income that is subject to Puerto Rico taxes and not exempt from U.S. taxes.
Since you are not considered a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico, you want to prepare the Puerto Rico return first if possible. This is to determine the US Credit. Your credit is not based on tax withheld, but rather your tax withheld minus refund or in addition to additional tax due.
TurboTax does not support a Puerto Rico return. You will have to prepare your return from the Puerto Rico website. It is in Spanish but most computer software offers a translation if needed.
Publication 570 from the IRS will give you more information about this.
