Can I file my 2007 tax in May 2007 if I know that my income for remaining period will be zero?

Question

I am a resident alien (not a permanent resident or citizen) working here in US. I will be leaving back to my home country in May and if so, can I file my 2007 tax now itself (in May) instead of waiting till April 2008? I know that I will not be receiving any income here after May since I will not be working here.

Answer 1

No, returns aren't accepted until January of the year following the end of the tax year - for 2007, would be January 2008. Many of the forms and regulations would not be available now yet.

Answer 2

No.

The forms will not be available until late 2007 or even early 2008.
