H1B started October 1, 2016. I was out of USA from Feb 19,2017 to March 13,2017. Returned and still in USA since March 13 2017. Do I file as a tax resident for 2017?
Yes, as you meet the Substantial Presence Test SPT during 2017, you are considered as a US resident for tax purposes. You will be filing a Form 1040 reports worldwide income.
