I previously filed as a resident alien for tax years 2021 and 2022. In October 2023, I permanently departed the United States. While meeting the substantial presence test for 2023, I came across information regarding dual-status tax filing.
My question is: Considering my October departure, should I file my 2023 tax return as a dual-status alien? Additionally, if dual-status filing is appropriate, what criteria qualify me as a non-resident alien for the remaining months of 2023?
It's important to note that I haven't earned any income from outside the US since my departure.
I would appreciate any guidance on the most accurate way to file my 2023 tax return.
