The address on your W-2 does not affect whether you are a resident of the US.
You will be considered a United States resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar year or you are a green card holder. To meet the substantial presence test, you must be physically present in the United States (U.S.) on at least:
-
31 days during the current year (2019), and
-
183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting:
-
All the days you were present in the current year (2019), and
-
1/3 of the days you were present in the first year (2018) before the current year, and
-
1/6 of the days you were present in the second year(2017) before the current year
If your days add up to 183 days or more over the 3 years, then you are a resident. If you are a US resident , you must declare your worldwide income on your tax return. You can use TurboTax.
If you are a US nonresident, you will need to file a nonresident return. TurboTax does not support nonresident returns.
However we have a partnership with Sprintax offering a nonresident tax filing solution to our TurboTax customers.
Visit the TurboTax/Sprintax site for more info or to get started.
