Hi,

 

I was F1 student on EAD and left USA on September, 2022 due to expiration of EAD. I worked full time until then and have received a W2. Since I have stayed in USA for almost 6 years, I was a "Resident Alien for Tax Purposes". Where in Turbo Tax do I mention that I left USA and provide the last days (number days that I was in the country)?

 

Regards,

Avpai

There is a section in my info of your return where you will address this.

 

  1.  The first question that it asks is the state of resident as of December 31, 2022. Here you will select the drop down and scroll to the bottom and then select Foreign or US Possession.
  2. Two questions down from this asks the Date you became a resident of Foreign or U.S. Possession.  Here is where you indicate when you became a resident of the foreign country. This will be used in determining if you meet the number of days requirement for the Substantial Presence Test for the year.
