Hello,
I arrived in the USA in August, 2021, under a J-1 visa status (Research Scholar). I utilized Sprintax for filing my taxes for the years 2021 (August-December) and 2022 (January-December). As the two-year limit of my J-1 visa will commence in August 2023, I am uncertain about my tax filing status for the year 2023 (Resident or Non resident?).
Given that approximately seven months (January - July 2023) fall within the initial two-year period of my J-1 visa, and the remaining five months (August -December 2023) extend beyond this limit, I am seeking clarification on whether I should file as a non-resident or resident for tax purposes for the tax year 2023.
Can someone help me clarify this? @DaveF1006 @LinaJ2020
Many thanks,
