Confusing time limit
Posted date : Jan 13, 2023.
It is very confusing how to fill out the FORM 8840. Say I arrive in the U.S. on November 15 of a given year and stay until April 28 of the following year. My question is, do I count only from November 15 to December 31 on one Form 8840 and then “save” the rest (January 1 to April 28) for the next year? Are these “saved” dates then added to another form.

Ed.: The 8840 form is asking you to report actual days spent in the U.S. during a calendar year – November 15 until December 31. Then, next year, you report January 1 to April 28 and any additional days which you spend in the U.S. in the fall and winter of that year until December 31.
