Am I supposed to check “nonresident alien or dual-status alien spouse” if I’m a resident alien for tax purposes?

Hi, I’m an international student, but I’ve been in the U.S. long enough to be considered a resident alien for tax purposes (I passed the Substantial Presence). While using TurboTax, there’s a checkbox that says: “I am a nonresident alien or dual-status alien spouse.” Should I check this box? Or should I leave it unchecked since I’m filing as a resident alien for tax purposes? Thanks!

Yes. You would leave that box unchecked.
