I am a teacher. I entered the USA in August 2007 and I was exempted from income tax for two years. I changed status in August 2009 . Under the substantial presence test I am classified as a Resient alien for part of 2009 that is for the period beginning August 2009. I know that I have to file dual residency. The problem is I have two w2 forms and only one contains withholding taxes which is the one for August 2009- December 2009. The other was only has the fica and medcare taxes which were withdrawn. How should I file should I had both all income for both w2 and out it on the 1040 . Where should I put the fica and medcare should both w2 be combined in spite of the fact that they are frm two different employees in two different states .Or should I DO TWO DIFFERENT FORMS ONE AS A RESIDENT ALIEN AND THEOTHER AS NON RESIDENT. PLEASE EXPLAIN I MA SO CONFUSED.
