Your situation may be relatively more complicated than a software program is designed to handle. With your form 1040, there are more steps you will need to take when you file your return. It would be a good idea for you to contact a professional who specializes in Expatriation and Non resident taxes. They would be able to tell you all of what you need so you can file your 2025 return correctly.
"Resident status abandoned. An administrative or judicial determination of abandonment of resident status may be initiated by you, the USCIS, or a U.S. consular officer. If you initiate the determination, your resident status is considered to be abandoned when you file either of the following documents with your Permanent Resident Card (green card or Form I-551) attached with the USCIS or a U.S. consular officer. • Form I-407, Record of Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status. • A letter stating your intent to abandon your resident status. When filing by mail, you must send by certified mail, return receipt requested (or the foreign equivalent), and keep a copy and proof that it was mailed and received. Until you have proof your letter was received, you remain a resident alien for tax purposes even if the USCIS would not recognize the validity of your green card because it is more than 10 years old or because you have been absent from the United States for a period of time. If the USCIS or U.S. consular officer initiates this determination, your resident status will be considered to be abandoned when the final administrative order of abandonment is issued. If you are granted an appeal to a federal court of competent jurisdiction, a final judicial order is required. Under U.S. immigration law, a lawful permanent resident who is required to file a tax return as a resident and fails to do so may be regarded as having abandoned status and may lose permanent resident status. A long-term resident (LTR) who ceases to be a lawful permanent resident may be subject to special reporting requirements and tax provisions. See Expatriation Tax in chapter 4. Termination of residency after June 16, 2008. For information on your residency termination date, see Former LTR under Expatriation After June 16, 2008 in chapter 4. Note. Requirements for taxpayers who expatriated before June 17, 2008, are no longer discussed in the Instructions for Form 8854 or Pub. 519. For information on expatriation before June 17, 2008, see the 2018 Instructions for Form 8854, and chapter 4 of the 2018 Pub. 519." Pub 519 page 4 & 5
There is one more thing to consider. You MAY be subject to expatriation rules due to the time you lived in the US and would need to include form 8854 with your return. Expatriation applies to those who were in the US as a lawful permanent resident in at least 8 of the last 15 years. If you were here since 2011 as a lawful permanent resident, then this would likely apply to you
