For tax year 2019 - Turbotax online asking me if you live in foreign country
Did you live in a foreign country?
I believe it is asking from Jan. 1st to Jan. 31st 2019.
During this time she was in USA from Jan. 1st to May 29 and from May 29 2019 until now she is in India (foreign country) She has no intention or plan to come back to USA
So please advise whether she should yes or not the question if you live in Foreign country ?
Conditions to say yes are -
A U.S. citizen who's a resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period of time during the tax year. I AM NOT SURE ON THIS --- FROM MAY 29 2019 UNTIL PRESENT DAY SHE HAS BEEN IN INDIA ...SHE NEVER CAME BACK DURING THIS PERIOD...SO IS SHE CONSIDERED FOREIGN RESIDENT FOR UNINTERRUPTED PERIOD OF TIME?
- A U.S. citizen or resident who was in a foreign country or countries at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months that ends in the tax year for your return. -- MOST LIKELY SHE DOES CAN NOT SAY YES UNDER THIS CONDITION BECAUSE IF WE COUNT FROM JAN. 1ST 2019 TO 31ST DEC. 2019 ..SHE HAS NOT BEEN IN FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN 330 DAYS. -------CORRECT ME IF AM WRONG IN MY CALCULATION.
