I returned home from Boston, MA to Ireland on May 10th 2006. My H1B visa of 6 years had expired. I had filed my Federal & State taxes for the previous 5 years online.

My questions are:
1) What forms do I need to file for federal tax return?
2) Is there any software I can use to do this online?
3) What forms do I need to file my MA tax return?
4) Again can I do this online?

Many thanks,
Peter.

Peter:

1) You need to file a expatriate dual-status return, a rather complex return.

2) To my knowledge, no software support is available for this return.

3) File as a part-year resident for MA.

4) No!
