Aliens - Which Form to File

Aliens may file different tax returns than U.S. citizens depending on their federal tax status:

• Are you a Resident Alien?
  • Resident Aliens file Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ like U.S. Citizens.

 

 

 

If you are an alien (not a U.S. citizen), you are considered a nonresident alien unless you meet one of two tests. You are a resident alien of the United States for tax purposes if you meet either thegreen card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year (January 1-December 31).

Certain rules exist for determining the Residency Starting and Ending Dates for aliens.

In some cases aliens are allowed to make elections which override the green card test and the substantial presence test, as follows:

• Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident
• Closer Connection To a Foreign Country
• Tax Treaties

You can be both a nonresident alien and a resident alien during the same tax year. This usually occurs in the year you arrive or depart from the United States. If so, you may elect to be treated as a Dual Status Alien for this taxable year and a Resident Alien for the next taxable year if you meet certain tests. (Refer to section "Dual-Status Aliens" – "First Year Choice" in Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.)

A resident alien who is required to establish his/her U.S. residency for the purpose of claiming a tax treaty benefit with a foreign country should refer to Certification of U.S. Residency for Tax Treaty Purposes.

 

• Are you a Nonresident Alien?
  • Nonresident Aliens file Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.

  • If you are an alien (not a U.S. citizen), you are considered a nonresident alien unless you meet one of two tests. You are a resident alien of the United States for tax purposes if you meet either thegreen card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year (January 1-December 31).

    Certain rules exist for determining the Residency Starting and Ending Dates for aliens.

    In some cases aliens are allowed to make elections which override the green card test and the substantial presence test, as follows:

Substantial Presence Test

You will be considered a United States resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar year. To meet this test, you must be physically present in the United States (U.S.) on at least:

1. 31 days during the current year, and
2. 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting:
   • All the days you were present in the current year, and
   • 1/3 of the days you were present in the first year before the current year, and
   • 1/6 of the days you were present in the second year before the current year.

Example:

You were physically present in the U.S. on 120 days in each of the years 2012, 2013, and 2014. To determine if you meet the substantial presence test for 2014, count the full 120 days of presence in 2014, 40 days in 2013 (1/3 of 120), and 20 days in 2012 (1/6 of 120). Since the total for the 3-year period is 180 days, you are not considered a resident under the substantial presence test for 2014.

Days of Presence in the United States

You are treated as present in the U.S. on any day you are physically present in the country, at any time during the day. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Do not count the following as days of presence in the U.S. for the substantial presence test.

• Days you commute to work in the U.S. from a residence in Canada or Mexico, if you regularly commute from Canada or Mexico.
• Days you are in the U.S. for less than 24 hours, when you are in transit between two places outside the United States.
• Days you are in the U.S. as a crew member of a foreign vessel.
• Days you are unable to leave the U.S. because of a medical condition that develops while you are in the United States.
• Days you are an exempt individual (see below).
