I am trying to find out what is the proper form for individual income tax return people working in US on h2b visa. This is only temporary work (8 months). I am citizen of European country. What is dual-status alien? Please help :rolleyes:

A dual-status alien is a foreign national who has met the 183-day Substantial Presence Test but has spent at least one day in non-resident alien status and therefore CANNOT file as a resident alien.

You ARE a dual-status alien, and must file a dual-status return, which requires filing BOTH Forms 1040 and 1040NR.

It is NOT a return for a lay person to file. GET PROFESSIONAL HELP.

If you want my help, email me at the email address below.
