But in the IRS website (the Green Card test pages) mention that an alien who has been present in the United States at any time during a calendar year as a Lawful Permanent Resident may choose to be treated as a resident alien for the entire calendar year. Can you please clarify this? By the way, Turbotax software does ask the question about the resident status then how it determine about EIC qualification? it is just asking about the presence of more than 6 months in U.S. in the last year..
