I left the US on Feb 6th 2011. I received pay until I left and I cashed out my US pension plan (which I'd only started paying into). I'm pretty sure I'm owed money on taxes.
Because I had traveled a lot in 2009 and 2010, I don't pass the substantial presence test (I was in the USA for 318 days in 2009 and 225 days in 2010) with 164 days by the test calculation.
I'm just wondering, what should I file? Do I file a 1040NR (or the EZ version)? It's been suggested I may need to file dual status, but I'm hoping I don't have to, since I didn't pass the substantial presence test.
Any help is appreciated.
