Hello,

I need to file a dual status tax return. I came to the usa at 6-24-2019 I am a resident at the end of 2019 so I need to attach form 1040NR as a statement for the first part of the year. For the first part of the year I don't have any US income or Income not connected with a US trade of business so I suppose I only need to mark 0 in every line of the form. Is this right? Because it seems a little weird to me.

Thanks Joris

Yes, that is correct. As a dual-status taxpayer, you will still need to submit the Form 1040-NR to show you do not have any US source income.

Thank you. One more question about it. I am still a little confused about the schedule NEC on form 1040-NR. I did receive interest and dividend paid by foreign corporations in the first half of the year. (where I came from) But because it was from before the date I moved to the USA I still have to report 0 right? Because the first half of the year I was a non resident and have to report all this in the country I came from (netherlands)

Thank you

Yes, that's correct. For Form 1040-NR, you only need to report US source income. If the interest and dividends are not US sourced, you do not report them.
