It depends on how long
you have been in the United States.
Special
rules
exist between the United States and Guam. Please click on this link for IRS Pub 570 (See links for “Bona fide Resident test” and “Guam” that goes into details on these
rules). If you have been
in the United States since at least 183 days (roughly July 4th or
before), you will file a U.S. return.
Since Guam is not a state, if you had income from Guam at the beginning
of the year you will claim it on your U.S. tax return. If you do file a state return (depends on your
state), it will be a part-year
return.
If
you do not qualify to file a U.S. return (less than 183 days in U.S.), you will
file a Guam return.. (If you have a
state return, it is a part-year return). While TurboTax does not technically
support the tax return for Guam, there is a work-around. The Guam return is identical to the U.S.
return. (Click
here for the Guam Department of Revenue and Taxation
Website, where you can access these forms when they are available.) Therefore, you can prepare your return in
TurboTax as a U.S. return and select “I wish to mail in my return”. Once you pay for your return then you can
print it out. After that, you would copy all of the information from your “U.
S. return” to your Guam return. You can
then mail it in to the Guam address listed on their website. (There is also information on their website
to e-file). PLEASE REMEMBER: Do not e-file or mail-in your U.S. if
you are required to file with Guam. (You’ll
need to mail-in your state return as well.)
