TAXES

You know, this should be easy to figure out, right?

The guidelines say 31 days in the past year, and 183 in the past year, I believe.

I arrived July 3, which is 182 days in 2005, yeah, go figure.

I was here in March for 10 days and May for 3, but went back to Canada for 4 days and 2 days at christmas. Am I an RESIDENT ALIEN or a NON RESIDENT ALIEN?

I just feel sooooo alienated.

They don't go by whether or not you have a permanent resident card (green card) to answer that Q?

Sorry, we've done taxes since we were married of course but we get H & R Block to do ours but it just seems the right answer is whether or not you're a permanent resident....

We're choosing Married Filing Jointly, and also adding a Statement to our 1040 form, to the effect that I am choosing to be treated as resident alien for the tax year. I am also including Form 2555EZ (foreign income earned tax exclusion) with our returns.

I know Gimygirl had tax info pinned before the VJ server issue, but I'm not sure if it's still pinned or archived as I haven't checked.

Hope this is of some help...Gimygirl will prob hop in with some better info I think

Up to you. You can choose to be treated as a resident alien for tax purposes

(which has nothing to do with your immigration status.)
