@tax2020return  dual status person needs to file both a 1040 ( covering the  world income  for the resident portion of the year  ) and  1040-NR ( covering the Non-Resident portion of the year  and on US sourced/connected  income ). The only deduction available to such person is  Itemized  deduction.

 

What you are asking for is to be considered a resident for the whole year , be taxed on your world income for the whole year and thus avail yourself of the standard deduction.

 

Does that make sense ?
