I am a J1 holder who entered the U.S. in Oct 2021. My payroll software states she will become a US resident for tax purposes with two dates:
- Residency Status Change Date: May 2022
- Residency Status Start Date: January 2022
I am wondering if I could file the 2021 tax as dual status?
Also, my wife is an H1B holder and a resident alien. Shall we file jointly for the 2021 tax?
Thanks for your time!
