Alien status rules. If you are not a citizen of the United
States, specific rules apply to determine if you are a resident
or nonresident alien for tax purposes. Intent is not a factor in
determining your residency status.
You are considered a resident alien if you meet either the
green card test or the substantial presence test. However,
even though you otherwise would meet the substantial
presence test, you will not be considered a U.S. resident if
you qualify for the closer connection to a foreign country
exception or you are able to qualify as a nonresident alien by
reason of a tax treaty. These tests and the exception are

Final Return Required
A Form 1040-C is not a final return. You must file a final
income tax return after your tax year ends.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien on the last day of
the year, you should file Form 1040 (or 1040-SR) reporting
your worldwide income. If you are not a U.S. citizen or
resident alien on the last day of the year, you should file Form
1040-NR. However, certain individuals who were resident
aliens at the beginning of the tax year but nonresident aliens
at the end of the tax year must file a “dual-status” return. See
Dual-status tax year, later.
b. The value of any services or accommodations
furnished incident to such study or training;
c. Income from employment authorized under U.S.
immigration laws; or
d. Interest on deposits, but only if that interest is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

Note. There are some tax items that are not addressed on
Form 1040-C or in these instructions that must be taken into
account on your final return. For example, if you are a Group I

credit allowed on your tax return. See Form 8962, Premium

When To Get a Sailing or Departure Permit

weeks before you plan to leave. You cannot apply earlier than
30 days before your planned departure date. Do not wait
until the last minute in case there are unexpected problems.

States. Bring the following records with you if they apply:

Returning to the United States
Ordinarily, all income received or reasonably expected to be
received during the tax year up to and including the date of
departure must be reported on Form 1040-C and the tax on it
must be paid. When you pay any tax shown as due on the
Form 1040-C, and you file all returns and pay all tax due for
previous years, you will receive a sailing or departure permit.
If you furnish the IRS with information showing, to the
satisfaction of the IRS, that you intend to return to the United
States and that your departure does not jeopardize the
collection of income tax, you can get a sailing or departure
permit by filing Form 1040-C without having to pay the tax
shown on it. You must, however, file all income tax returns
that have not yet been filed as required, and pay all income
tax that is due on these returns.

Instructions for Form 1040-C (Rev. 01-2024)
Your Form 1040-C must include all income received and
reasonably expected to be received during the entire year of
departure. The sailing or departure permit issued with this
Form 1040-C can be used for all departures during the
current year. However, the IRS may cancel the sailing or
departure permit for any later departure if the payment of
income tax appears to be in jeopardy.
Please note that all Taxpayer Assistance Centers
(TACs) operate by appointment. Services are limited
and not all services are available at every TAC office.
Call 844-545-5640 to schedule an appointment.
Remember that you must visit an IRS office at least 2
weeks (but no more than 30 days) before you leave the
United States, so make sure you call for an appointment well
before those time frames.
Joint Return on Form 1040-C
Please be prepared to furnish your anticipated date of
departure and bring the following records with you if they
apply.
Departing husbands and wives who are nonresident aliens

2. Copies of your U.S. income tax returns filed for the
past 2 years. If you were in the United States for less than 2
years, bring copies of the income tax returns you filed for that
period.
•
Paying Taxes and Obtaining Refunds
Except when a bond is furnished, or the IRS is satisfied that
your departure does not jeopardize the collection of income
tax, you must pay all tax shown as due on the Form 1040-C
at the time of filing it. You must also pay any taxes due for
past years. If the tax computation on Form 1040-C results in
an overpayment, there is no tax to pay at the time you file that
return. However, the IRS cannot provide a refund at the time
of departure. If you are due a refund, you must file Form 1040
or Form 1040-NR, as appropriate, at the end of the tax year.
3. Receipts for income taxes paid on these returns.
4. Receipts, bank records, canceled checks, and other
documents that prove your deductions, business expenses,
and dependents claimed on the returns.
5. A statement from each employer you worked for this
year showing wages paid and tax withheld. If you are
self-employed, you must bring a statement of income and
expenses up to the date you plan to leave.
6. Proof of any payments of estimated tax for the past
year and the current year.

7. Documents showing any gain or loss from the sale of

approval of, the grant; (c) a statement of the amount paid,
and your duties and obligations under the grant; and (d) a list
of any previous grants.
Form 1040-C is not an annual U.S. income tax return. If an
income tax return is required by law, that return must be filed
even though a Form 1040-C has already been filed. The tax
paid with Form 1040- C should be taken as a credit against
the tax liability for the entire tax year on your annual U.S.
income tax return.

If you do not have an SSN and are not eligible to get one,

Status—Resident or Nonresident
Alien
If you owe income tax and the Area Director determines
that your departure will jeopardize the collection of the tax, a
certificate of compliance on Form 1040-C will be issued only
when you pay the tax due or post bond. The certificate will
apply only to the departure for which it is issued.
Generally, you are considered a resident alien if you meet
either the green card test or the substantial presence test for
2024. You are considered a nonresident alien for the year if
you do not meet either of these tests. For more information

Green card test. You are a resident alien for tax purposes if
you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States at
any time during 2024. You are a lawful permanent resident of
the United States if you have been given the privilege, under
U.S. immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United
States as an immigrant. You generally have this status if the
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (or its
predecessor organization, the Immigration and Naturalization
Service) has issued you an alien registration card, also
known as a green card.
Specific Instructions

form. It may be necessary to complete a separate Part I for
each spouse.
