Hi,
I am an F1 student that came to the US in June 2023 and became a resident alien around Nov 2023 (since I was an F1 student many years ago > 5 years).
I earned US income during June-Nov 2023 and foreign income Jan - May 2023. Is my only option to file taxes with dual status or can I choose to file all of 2023 as a resident alien? My marital status is single.
Thanks

That is correct. Since your marital status is single, you would need to file as a dual status alien as you cannot choose to be treated as a resident for the entire year.
If you are married, it is possible that you could choose to be treated as a Resident Alien for the entire year.
"Choosing Resident Alien Status If you are a dual-status alien, you can choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for the entire year if all of the following apply.
This includes situations in which both you and your spouse were nonresident aliens at the beginning of the tax year and both of you are resident aliens at the end of the tax year.
Note. If you are single at the end of the year, you cannot make this choice. If you make this choice, the following rules apply.
