My husband and I moved to California from Australia in January 2008 on an E3 visa working for a US company. This is a temporary visa which cannot lead to a green card. In the US, I believe we should be resident alien for 2008 but I am confused about being a dual-status resident. In Australia, should we be tax residents until December 07 or continue through to June 08? Is there any benefit?
What should our tax status be in both countries?
