Hello, I have an unusual tax situation; ill go over it in a timeline: 
Date of birth (1982) - Jan 1 2010 
Canadian citizen, living in Canada (no US citizen claims)
Jan 1 - Mar 31 2010: 
Work for university in Canada, earned $15000, file Canadian taxes 
Mid April 2010: 
Apply for & receive US citizenship by birth (US mother), get US passport 
June 9 2010: 
Move to USA (ann arbor, MI) as a US citizen 
June 15 - Dec 31 2010: 
Work for GM in Michigan 
My question is how should I file? 
A US citizen and no foreign income, who moved here June 9 ? 
A US citizen with foreign income? 
A dual status citizen, who can claim the personal deduction ($5700) ? 
A dual status alien, who cannot claim the personal deduction ($5700) ? 
The issue is that i was not a US citizen who had foreign income as I was not a US citizen at the time, nor was I a dual status alien as I moved to the US as a US citizen. 
I have done a lot of reading on the IRS websites/publications the internet, but have not found anything that discusses my situation. 
If I dont learn anything soon, Im just going to take a guess and see what happens :-) Thanks for your help,
