Hi all, I entered SFO as a port of entry with my F41 immigrant visa on Nov 7 2022, filed a I-131 Re-Entry Permit and left US on Nov 30, 2022. I only received my physical green card in the mail on Dec 23, 2022. Have the following questions: As my income is still based overseas for the year 2022, Do I file federal taxes for year 2022 and will it be for partial year from Nov 7 to Dec 31 2022? (55 days) How would I claim for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion - $112,000 for 2022, similarly would this be pro-rated Any recommendation on tax software or reasonably priced tax preparers for first year green card holders? Thanks! Eddy
