The best method of filing your return is to file as a dual-status alien since were not a resident alien on the last day of the tax year.
First prepare a 1040 resident return for the time you spent in the US. once the return is prepared, print it and write Dual Status across the top of the return.
Now prepare a 1040 NR return. Turbo Tax does not prepare these returns but our affiliate at Sprint Tax does. click on the link to prepare your return. Once prepared, print this return and write Dual Status across the top of the return. if you have no US based income to report, you do not need to file a California return from (Oct 2023 -Dec 2023).
Once the returns are prepared, printed, and have the dual status notation recorded on the returns, you will mail the returns in accordance with the mailing instructions that will be printed with the returns. Be sure when you file, do not file these returns electronically because there is no procedure in the program to record the dual status notation in the return without printing it and writing it in by hand.
