I am filing tax(for year 2006) for the first time.

For tax purpose, am I a resident or nonresident?

Answer 1

Under the substantial presence test, you're a resident alien. This has nothing to do with your status with immigration.

Answer 2

this settlement job, of a twelve months or extra is your tax abode, as a result you are able to document a Ct state tax, and in all probability a great apple non resident as a settlement worker no taxes have been withheld, those are your duty and that's apprx. 15.3% of your sch C 'internet' volume filed on Sch SE and because you curiously have not filed any 1040ES(predicted) you very probable might have a penalty for underfiling there is one final coupon, Jan. sixteen, 2011 which you will likely circumvent the penalty by skill of paying all of it then

Answer 3

what was your visa? permanent resident or tourist?
if you were a tourist - and it's expired, you are now an illegal alien.

why would you want to file if your illegal? you have a social security card that in reality or in truth is not worth a thing.
because you couldn't claim the benefits legally.

call and speak with an attorney.

best wishes to you...

Answer 4

Your current status is "illegal alien". Can't we call a spade a spade here?

However, if you have worked and earned money the IRS still wants a cut. I don't recall that the IRS asks questions about citizenship. All you have to do is provide your name, address and social security number along with the usual earnings and tax information.

Answer 5

Resident as you earned income in the US but get a TIN number from the IRS if you don't have a SS number and then file. Good luck.
