I don't want to be a Nonresident Alien, I'd rather be a Resident Alien. What should I do?

U.S. Tax Status is based on the results of the Substantial Presence Test. The Substantial Presence Test is applied by GTP based on the information entered. An individual may not “pick and choose” which Tax Status he or she wishes to have. In some cases, if you are married to a U.S. Citizen, you may make an election to be treated as a Resident Alien for Tax purposes.
