giogis245 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 I have some possible clients from Spain who got here 7/24/19, can they file a 1040 for 2019? Or would they have to file 1040NR? Quote
TaxCPANY Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 They usually have the option of electing to be taxed as a resident, using Form 1040, else the 1040NR taxes only their "effectively-connected income". They might benefit by filing *both* forms for the year OR electing to be taxes as if residing here for the whole year -- and marital status and overseas assets and/or connections can tip the balance. They might even be required to file as residents depending on the amount of time they've spent in the U.S. in the two years preceding 2019! Read IRS Publication 519 front-to-back to get up to speed with clients like this. Good luck! Quote
Pacun Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 What kind of immigrant or non-immigrant documents do your "possible clients" have? Quote
