Hi
I am on a H1B visa. I have been in the USA for 4.5 years and am about to leave the permanently country, either to go to the UK, Kenya or Tanzania.
Based on my presence for the last three years I meet the substantial presence test.
I will continue working for my US based company but will give up my H1B visa.
My wife had an H4 visa. In 2008 and 2007 we filed jointly.
Will I be liable for any US taxes for 2009 after I depart from USA?
What elections can I make to influence the tax I pay for 2009.
