Hi friends,

 

I know it's a long shot, but I am someone who likes to stream on Twitch occasionally and have made a few bucks from it.
After getting my EAD, I made some more, but I have to change my Tax interviews etc.
So I did that. But I can't say I'm a resident, or gc holder etc, so I have to select the 'Non US-citizen' option. They then asked me to provide proof that I am not etc. I'll copy the direct info below.

You have provided a treaty country that is different from the permanent address country. In order to remedy the discrepancy, please provide a written explanation establishing entitlement to treaty benefits, or you may provide documentary evidence that establishes tax residency in the treaty country claimed. Some common examples of accepted documents are Passport, Certificate of Residency or National ID card. The documentation must be issued by an authorized governmental body and contain your full name, address and photograph.
 
So I can't select I'm a US resident, as it asks the following: Are you a United States (U.S.) citizen, U.S. permanent resident (green card holder), or other U.S. resident alien?   and according to all my research, no I am not. But then it rejects my explanation of 'I recently moved to the US on a K1 visa to live with my now husband. I am not a greencard holder yet, but I have an employment authorisation. So I'm still only a Dutch citizen.

I'm so confused on what they want from me.. LOL. Anyone with experience in this field?

I would go with resident alien, never say US Citizen if you are not.

I just figured it out. I kept trying to do the US resident alien test by putting in the days ive been in the US for, but it asks how many days you PLAN to be here.. So thats 365. Then it did accept me as resident alien!

Excellent!

 

There seem to be a million different definitions of resident alien.

Exactly. It means a different thing for tax purposes vs immigration purposes. That makes it confusing.
