TurboTax Deluxe should be able to walk you through this.
Thats what i started to use, but it doesnt offer an option for part year. Even upgraded to expert service and they said they couldnt sort and tried to pass me on elsewhere.

That gas been reported here on BE previously - that the popular tax prep software packages don't offer a split year function, so it sounds like nothing has changed for 2017.

From memory HR Block were the only ones that supported dual status. I opted to MFJ and be a resident for the entire year instead.

Really? I could have sworn my husband chose to be non residence for all of 2004, the year he came to the USA in April.

I could be wrong.

Didn't your husband come on a K-1? Specifically the rule catching Chins out is that he was on a CR-1 and got permanent residency mid year.

Ah, I see. Yes, my hubby came on a K-1 and didn't get his green card until 2005.

Thanks,
