Hello Community!
I am working on a return for a person (a spouse of a diplomat, has work permit and US-sourced earned income. 1040NR due to visa type; presence test does not apply for A-1 visa). He lived in Washington DC for the entire 2024. Is he considered DC resident for tax purpose?
Thank you in advance for your help!

What?
Working for the embassy or consulate is one thing. Working for the McDonald's across the street is another.
A-1 / A-2: Dependents of foreign diplomatic personnel may be employed with prior DOS and CIS approval and are eligible for unrestricted temporary work authorization for the duration of the principal A-2s assignment. Those A-2s have EADs and may work, including self-employment.

I obviously read through that too quickly. I thought OP was referring to the diplomat.
Spouse is most likely taxable on their income.
The more I know the more I don’t know.
