3. If you answered 'No' to the first question, proceed to the next inquiry: Were you physically present in the United States on at least 183 days during the three-year period including the current tax year and the two preceding years? Review your presence using the outlined calculations before selecting 'Yes' or 'No.'
4. If you select 'Yes,' check whether you were physically present in the United States on at least 183 days during the current tax year by answering the next question. Choose 'Yes' or 'No.'
5. If you answer 'No' to being present for at least 183 days this year, you will need to confirm if you were present for at least 31 days. Respond accordingly.
