The Substantial Presence Test and Covid
Channel: Esquire Group
Date: 2020-04-29

Finding yourself stranded in a foreign country is one thing. Finding out that being stranded meant you may have passed the substantial presence test, thus causing tax implications, is a whole other level of oh hell no! This is a serious and valid concern for the many foreigners that were stranded in the US during the covid pandemic. 

If you were not planning on being a US tax resident, a few possible options to consider are:
- Medical exclusion (excluding days infected with corona virus)
- Closer Connection Exception 
- Treaty Tie-Breaker Provision (reporting/filing still required)
