Deductions & credits

The five years exempt (not counting days) on F-visa is only allowed once in Lifetime.  Therefore, you are considered as a US resident after your first five years expired.   

 

Per IRS, as a student you are exempt for 5 calendar years. This is a lifetime exemption. So once you used up the 5 years, you cannot be exempt again on a F1 or J1 student visa.
