Hi,
We are residents of US (Greencard Holders), but are temporarily residing in India. We have met "continuous resident" requirement ever since we came to India 1.5 years ago, and have always filed "1040" tax-returns for federal (and not 1040NR). However, I would like to find about state tax returns. Can I file CA-540NR form claiming to be "part-year Residents" of California since we were in CA only for a few months last year (2007), or must we file state taxes as "full year residents" as well? Will this risk our green card status in any way?
Thanks
