Good afternoon,
I am trying to navigate the system and understand how I can use Turbotax to file my first USA tax return.
I have been reading Publication 519 and I think it clarified my residency starting date.
During 2022 I traveled on an ESTA to USA for 15 days in early February and, in late April, I entered with a L1A visa. Considering the time spent in the Country during 2020 and 2021 I passed the SPT in late August but according to the Publication 519 linked above, my residency starting date should be February (the first entry in USA during 2022), not April (the date I actually entered with a valid working visa).
I worked with the Italian subsidiary of the current company from January to April but, since the residency starting date is in February I guess I need to report this as foreign income I earned for the months of February, March and April (I guess I can exclude January) for which have already been taxed by Italy.
I guess I need to report the gross amount of those 3 months payrolls as foreign income and claim tax credit for the taxes paid in those same 3 months, am I in the right direction?
Thanks for whoever can help
