I find that hard to believe.
Read my sticky post where I reversed my position about dual-status filing. Dual status is
only for people who
physically enter the country.
The person who set me straight was Dr. Gary Carter, who, BTW, is the
founder of
www.thetaxguy.com.
Now WHY would he then contradict this advice on his own forum?
Check out the writers of this advice on the forum. I would bet a fair amount of money that Dr Carter did not write any of them.
