Does leisure travel to the United States have to be listed on Form 2555, Physical Presence Test, Part 3? Form does not allow the number of days for business to be zero.

Yes. any days in the US regardless of the reason count for the physical presence test. If it is giving you an error for 0 then enter 1. 

Part 3 does not ask for number of days, just the date.

Thank you for answering so quickly. Part 3 is asking for the dates, full days in country, number of days in U.S. on business and income earned in U.S. on business.

The error for 0 days on business is coming up. Inputting 1 day  (section e) and 0 (section f) under income earned on business I hope isn't contradictory.

[Vanessa A]

If you were only here on leisure, then you should be able to enter 0 days.  Did you try leaving it blank?

[c_qberry]

I can in fact leave those two blank. Perhaps this is the only solution. Any number entered needs to be a minimum of 1 according to the error.

[Vanessa A]

Yes, most times, leaving something blank if it is $0 does the trick.  Other times, depending on what it is, you will need to enter 1 or 0.  It just depends on what it is and what the error is saying.
