Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you would have passed the substantial presence test seeing that you are past your third year here.  Your first 2 years as a  J-1 Research visa holder would have been exempt.  But if you had183 days here in the third year, you are no longer considered exempt and are treated as a US Resident for tax purposes. 

 

 Therefore you must file your taxes as a US resident would be required to file.  This also means you must include income from all sources around the world.
