H&R Blocks online filing gives you 2 options: USC or Resident Alien.

Is this information required on tax forms? I'm looking at the tax returns that were filed for me but it doesn't even have that information. If it's there can someone point me in the right direction on finding it? Is this just h&r block and maybe some other tax software like turbo tax? I do my taxes with a CPA and all they ask for is SSN.

I’ve done both TurboTax and HR Block and even credit karma and never once was I asked this crap. I don’t know where y’all are getting these questions from

Resident Alien.

We are all resident aliens FOR TAX PURPOSES.

I am a CPA and you're absolutely right. It's not required. The Non-Resident Tax return comes in when somebody has just arrived in this country or is on some sort of Student or Work Visa and doesn't meet the substantial presence test (You have to be here physically in this country or else you have to file a Non-Resident return. I think the softwares like turbotax probably ask the question "Citizen or Resident Alien" or something like that. But all DACA recipients and most undocumented for that matter are Resident Aliens for tax purposes.
