Hello,
My employer is suggesting that my 2024 tax status is NRA, which I didn't expect, as I meet the substantial presence test. The only explanation is the J1 exemption and the fact that I haven't used it with the current visa, but I am not sure they are right.
My travel history is the following:
2024 - 328 days
2023 - 307 days - filed as RA
2022 - 309 days - filed as RA
2021 - 102 days - filed as NRA
2018 - 146 days - not filed
2017 - 38 days - not filed
I've been on the same J1 visa since 2021 and worked for the same institution.
Can you help me determine the tax status for 2024?
