Deductions & credits

You are a dual-status alien since you were a U.S. resident alien and a nonresident alien in the same tax year.

 

 

Since you are a resident alien at the end of the tax year, you will need to do the following:

  • Prepare form 1040 for your period of residency - TurboTax can do this for you. 
  • Prepare form 1040NR for your period of non-residency. 
  • Print Form 1040 to be filed by mail.
  • Attach form 1040NR to your form 1040 and write "Dual-Status Return" on the top of page one of Form 1040.
  • Mail your tax return to the IRS.
