@peterbestwork than kl you for closing the loop.
Yes your requirements and assumptions are correct.
I am assuming here that you are here on a non-work visa and have not passed the Substantial Presence Test.
I will assume that all your questions have been answered , even though I am not quite sure that I understand your need to file a return -- too many unknowns. If you do wish more on this but do not wish information on public board, you are quite welcome to PM me but with NO PII ( Personally Identifiable Information ).
