As a general matter, under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (Code), all U.S. citizens and U.S. residents are treated as U.S. tax residents. In order for a non-U.S. citizen (alien individual) to be treated as a resident alien, he or she must satisfy either the “green card test” or the substantial presence test.

To meet this test, you must be physically present in the United States for at least: 31 days during the current year, and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting. If total equals 183 days or more = Resident for Tax. Confused?
