Worked in Canada until entered US with K-1 Visa

[MontyFlo]

Hi,

I am new on this forum and read a few different topics about the subject but haven't found one that helped me with my situation...

So I entered the US on March 2015 with a K-1 visa and then got married in May and started to work in July. Before I entered the US, I was working in Canada and so I had an income in Canada until February 2015. My question is: how do I do to declare this earning correctly on Turbo Tax? My wife and I want to fill as married filling jointly and we just can't figure out how to declare this earning properly with Turbo Tax... :(

I first thought I would need to feel a form 2555 but after reading the instructions I figured out that no since I haven't been leaving 330 days in Canada in 2015...

If somebody knows the step to declare correctly the earnings made in canada before becoming a tax resident in US that would be so helpful (even though I know that US is going to consider me as a tax resident for the full 2015 year since I want to fill as married filling jointly)!

Thanks :)

Keep searching, your situation has been covered dozens of times. You will be filing 1040MFJ reporting all world income. You can use 2555 once you meet the 3330 days.
