Hi:
Am sure this may have been answered, but unable to find through search.
I am a Canadian citizen, not resident.
I was a TN in US for several years, and left in July 2005.From July 2005 till present, I have worked in Hong Kong. My salary has continued to be paid in US.
They have taken full US taxes.
I am working for the same company.
I think that I will be able to get a refund, as a Canadian think I only pay US taxes if I am in US.
I have two W2 forms. One is for time I lived in US. The other is time I lived in HK.
So my questions are:
1)What form do I use for 2005 US tax? I will be mailing it in from HK.
2)Is it clear cut that I don't pay tax for the second W2
Thanks!

Hi again;
Searched harder and found that maybe I can be a "dual status alien".
Is using form 2555 and using 1040X the answer?
I should add that I will likely return to US in Aug 2006. Plan is to be at least 1 full year in HK. I am subject to HK taxes, and have HK ID card and Hk bank account.
Thanks in advance
