Hi. Thank you for your answer. Based on that, it seems that I would have had to file 1040 even if my income was lower than standard deduction. I did not know. I understand that I can ask to be treated as resident for the full year being my first year of residence. In this case my tax would be zero and being late would not be a problem, I think. Any suggestion on how to handle being late for form 8938?. Thank you very much.
