@Opus 17 Didn't mean to cause any confusion. I just posted these numbers in case someone else was going to chime in on my topic. The reason I posted what I did was because of the (Spanish requirement in my case) Spanish tax law now clearly states that, if a person is in Spain for 183 days in a calendar year, he/she become a Spanish tax resident, and must pay the appropriate Spanish taxes.
According to another member on this site "as a citizen you do not have to visit the USA once a year but you cannot be in the USA ( for any purposes) for more than 30 days out of a 12 month test period to comply with the Physical Presence test ( form 2555) in order to preserve eligibility of excluding foreign earned income.
I'm just trying to make sure I understand as much as I can before I have to file next year.
Thanks again
