Relocating from Bahamas back to NY
I was granted an L1 visa on September 19th 2006 and started working in NY on October 28th 2006. MY tax return for 2006 was filed as a Non-Resident Alien using form 1040NR.
I continued working in NY until October 2nd 2007 at which point I relocated to the Bahamas, but still employed by my US employer.
The project I am working on has been delayed and as a result, I am relocating back to NY in July 2008.
I am using a CPA to do my tax return for 2007 but I am interested in understanding the following;
1. Will I file as a resident or non-resident alien for 2007?
2. With regards to my tax return for 2008, will I be considered a NRA, resident alien or dual status alien?
3. Will I be liable for any taxes on my earnings while working outside of the US (October 2007 to July 2008)?
Thanks
