However, you don’t count the following days of presence in the United States for purposes of the substantial presence test. 1. Days you regularly commuted to work in the United States from a residence in Canada or Mexico. 2. Days you were in the United States for less than 24 hours when you were traveling between two places outside the United States. 3. Days you were temporarily in the United States as a regular crew member of a foreign vessel engaged in transportation between the United States and a foreign country or a territory of the United States unless you otherwise engaged in trade or business on such a day. 4. Days you were unable to leave the United States because of a medical condition or medical problem that arose while you were in the United States. 5. Days you are in the United States under a NATO visa as a member of a force or civilian component to NATO. However, this exception does not apply to an immediate family member who is present in the United States under a NATO visa. A dependent family member must count every day of presence for purposes of the substantial presence test. 6. Days you were an exempt individual. Penalty for Not Filing Form 8843 Exempt Individuals If you don’t file Form 8843 on time, you may not exclude the days you were present in the United States as a professional athlete or because of a medical condition or medical problem that arose while you were in the United States. Failure to exclude days of presence in the United States could result in your being considered a U.S. resident under the substantial presence test. You won’t be penalized if you can show by clear and convincing evidence that you took reasonable actions to become aware of the filing requirements and significant steps to comply with those requirements. For purposes of the substantial presence test, an exempt individual includes anyone in the following categories. • A teacher or trainee (defined on this page). • A student (defined on the next page). • A professional athlete temporarily present in the United States to compete in a charitable sports event. The term “exempt individual” also includes an individual temporarily present in the United States as a foreign government-related individual under an “A” or “G” visa, other than individuals holding “A-3” or “G-5” class visas. An individual present under an “A-3” or “G-5” class visa is not considered a foreign governmentrelated individual and must count all their days of presence in the United States for purposes of the substantial presence test. For more details, see Pub. 519. If you are present under any other “A” or “G” class visa, you are not required to file Form 8843. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise specified.

General Instructions Who Must File If you are an alien individual (other than a foreign government-related individual), you must file Form 8843 to explain the basis of your claim that you can exclude days of presence in the United States for purposes of the substantial presence test because you: • Were an exempt individual, or • Were unable to leave the United States because of a medical condition or medical problem. When and Where To File Substantial Presence Test You are considered a U.S. resident if you meet the substantial presence test for 2023. You meet this test if you were physically present in the United States for at least: • 31 days during 2023; and • 183 days during the period 2023, 2022, and 2021, counting all the days of physical presence in 2023 but only 1/3 the number of days of presence in 2022 and only 1/6 the number of days in 2021.

Specific Instructions Part I—General Information If you are attaching Form 8843 to Form 1040-NR, you aren’t required to complete lines 1a through 4a of Form 8843 if you provide the requested information on the corresponding lines of Form 1040-NR. See Schedule OI of those forms. In this case, enter “Information provided on Form 1040-NR” on line 1a of Form 8843. Complete line 4b and the rest of Form 8843.

See your USCIS Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record. Line 1b. Enter your current nonimmigrant status, as of the last day of the tax year, such as that shown on your current USCIS Form I-94. Usually, this is the same as your entry on line1a, unless you changed your status while in the United States since your last entry. If your status has changed while in the United States (for example, you entered with a B-1 or B-2 visitor visa and without leaving, you changed to an F-1 or M-1 student visa status), enter the date of change and previous status. See USCIS Form I-797, Notice of Action, for information on the date that your change of status was approved. Part II—Teachers and Trainees A teacher or trainee is an individual who is temporarily present in the United States under a “J” or “Q” visa (other than as a student) and who substantially complies with the requirements of the visa. If you were a teacher or trainee under a “J” or “Q” visa, you are considered to have substantially complied with the visa requirements if you haven’t engaged in activities that are prohibited by U.S. immigration laws that could result in the loss of your “J” or “Q” visa status. Even if you meet these requirements, you can’t exclude days of presence in 2023 as a teacher or trainee if you were exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 2 of the 6 prior calendar years. But see the Exception, later. If you qualify to exclude days of presence as a teacher or trainee, complete Parts I and II of Form 8843.

You were present in the United States as a teacher or trainee in any of the 6 prior years. 4. A foreign employer paid all of your compensation during each of those prior 6 years you were present in the United States as a teacher or trainee.

If you meet this exception, you must attach information to verify that a foreign employer paid all the compensation you received in 2023 and all prior years that you were present in the United States as a teacher or trainee. Part III—Students A student is an individual who is temporarily present in the United States under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa and who substantially complies with the requirements of the visa. If you were a student under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa, you are considered to have substantially complied with the visa requirements if you haven’t engaged in activities that are prohibited by U.S. immigration laws and could result in the loss of your visa status. Even if you meet these requirements, you can’t exclude days of presence in 2023 as a student if you were exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of more than 5 calendar years unless you establish that you don’t intend to reside permanently in the United States. The facts and circumstances to be considered in determining if you have established that you don’t intend to reside permanently in the United States include, but aren’t limited to: 1. Whether you have maintained a closer connection to a foreign country than to the United States (for details, see Pub. 519), and 2. Whether you have taken affirmative steps to change your status from nonimmigrant to lawful permanent resident.

Part V—Individuals With a Medical Condition or Medical Problem For purposes of the substantial presence test, don’t count the days you intended to leave the United States but couldn’t do so because of a medical condition or medical problem that arose while you were in the United States. Whether you intended to leave the United States on a particular day is determined based on all the facts and circumstances. For more details, see Pub. 519. If you qualify to exclude days of presence because of a medical condition or medical problem, complete Part I and lines 17a through 17c of Part V. Have your physician or other medical official complete line 18. Note: You cannot exclude any days of presence in the United States under any of the following circumstances. • You entered or returned to the United States for medical treatment. It does not matter whether you intended to leave the United States immediately after the medical treatment but couldn’t do so because of unforeseen complications from the medical treatment. • The medical condition existed before your arrival in the United States and you were aware of the condition.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
