Determining Residency Status

Case Study

You are completing Marie’s 2025 federal income tax return. Marie is a junior at the local university. She came to the U.S. in 2015 from France in F-2 student immigration status with her father while he was completing his doctorate. They remained in the U.S. in the same status until he completed his doctorate in 2017, and then returned home. She reentered the U.S. in J-1 student immigration status in 2022, and has not left the U.S. nor changed her immigration status. For 2025 federal income tax purposes, is Marie a resident alien or a nonresident alien?
