Form IRS 8840
Posted date : May 11, 2022.
I read your comments on filing IRS 8840. If one files the form every year, you stated that one can stay in the U.S. for a maximum of 182 days. Does this mean actual days or equivalent days? I have submitted the 8840 form in the past, but the IRS has never acknowledged receipt of it. Is that normal?

Ed.: When completing the IRS 8840 form, the days spent in the United States are calculated by counting the actual days spent in the United States between January 1 and December 31 of each year. The IRS does not confirm receipt of the 8840 form. We suggest making a copy of your completed form and, if you want evidence of delivery, send it by registered mail, although we do not think that is necessary.
