Tax return for J-1 visa holder that left US before the end of the year

Hello,

     I have some questions regarding tax filing for international workers. I was working in the US as a J-1 visa holder from March 2022 until November 2024. I decided to leave my job in the US in November and start a new job in December 2024 in Canada under a Canadian working visa. I am European and filled my taxes as a non-resident alien in 2022 and 2023, but for 2024 I am considered a resident alien. I also left my job in the US before the end of my J-1 visa authorization.

    

1) I started filing my taxes for 2024 but I do not see an option to tell the IRS that I am no longer living in the US. Do I need to submit an extra document?

 

2) "State of residence (on December 31, 2024)" - in December I was already living in Canada, but in the US I was living in Florida. Is choosing "Florida" correct?

 

3) In the W-2 section there is an option to select "Worked outside the U.S". However, I started working in Canada after I left the US so I did not select this option. Is this correct? I do not see any option to also declare my salary from Canada. I will also file a tax declaration in Canada for 2024.

 

Thank you for your help.
