Deductions & credits

Hello Ernie,

 

Thank you for your fast reply.  The IRS said there is a 6 year period for the 2 year tax exempt:

 

You will not be an exempt individual as a teacher or trainee if you were exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 2 of the 6 calendar years preceding the current year. However, you will be an exempt individual if you were exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 3 (or fewer) of the 6 preceding calendar years and:

  • A foreign employer paid all of your compensation during the current year.
  • A foreign employer paid all of your compensation during each of the preceding 6 years you were present in the United States as a teacher or trainee.

Since it was back in 2013 , 6 years would have been 2019. Does 2020 not count as a fresh count for another 6 years? I'm confused with this.

 

Thank you for your time.
