In this episode of the International Money Café Podcast your co-hosts Jane Mepham CFP® and Manasa Nadig, EA explain exactly what you need to do to be considered a U.S. tax resident.
If you are a U.S. citizen or a green card holder (permanent resident), by default, you are a U.S. tax resident. If you don’t meet one of those conditions, the IRS has a cool test called the Substantial Presence Test (SBT) that determines how you should be treated for tax purposes.
The test consists of counting the days you have lived in the U.S. over a certain period.
Listen in as Manasa explains the test, including examples, to learn what the Substantial Presence Test is, how it’s used to determine your tax residency, and why it's so important.
