Thank you for the response. With respect to the second part of your answer,
to answer your questions- (1) No, I was not a resident for tax purposes in 2018.
(2) I was present in USA for at least 31 days and greater than 75% of the days in the test period after 10/1/2019. (3) As of today, I have met the substantial presence test and below are my calculations:
Days in 2020 till today: 173 days
Days in 2019: (1/3)*92 (Days spent in test period in the US since Oct 2019)
Total days: 173+30=203 days which is greater than 183.
My question is, based on this information, can I file as a Dual Status Alien for Tax Year 2019?
I would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks,
Yuvaraj
