Hello Community!

I am working on a return for a person (a spouse of a diplomat, has work permit and US-sourced earned income. 1040NR due to visa type; presence test does not apply for A-1 visa). He lived in Washington DC for the entire 2024. Is he considered DC resident for tax purpose?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I obviously read through that too quickly. I thought OP was referring to the diplomat.

Spouse is most likely taxable on their income.

~~No. He gets diplomatic immunity.~~

The more I know the more I don’t know.

What?

Working for the embassy or consulate is one thing. Working for the McDonald's across the street is another.

A-1 / A-2: Dependents of foreign diplomatic personnel may be employed with prior DOS and CIS approval and are eligible for unrestricted temporary work authorization for the duration of the principal A-2s assignment. Those A-2s have EADs and may work, including self-employment.
