Hi,
I have to file a US return since I was a resident at the beginning of 2021 (with Green card), and I still have some investment there. Following the IRS requirements, I need to file 1040NR for 2021 and to attach 1040 for the beginning of the year. I'm also required to file 8854. I'm currently not in the US - I live in Israel.
Turbotax partnered with Sprintax for 1040NR. I entered all my visits in the US since 1988, and the system responded that I need to file as a resident in 2021. When I contacted their representative she said: "It seems you have passed the exemption period of the F1 and J1 visa- which is 5 years, after that you will be considered a resident for tax purposes." She claimed that I need to file 1040 forever, even though I am no longer a resident, neither do I live in the US. that sounds weird...
