Who Must File
If you are an alien individual (other than a
foreign government-related individual),
you must file Form 8843 to explain the
basis of your claim that you can exclude
days of presence in the United States for
purposes of the substantial presence
test because you:
• Were an exempt individual, or
• Were unable to leave the United States
because of a medical condition or
medical problem.
When and Where To File
If you are filing a 2019 Form 1040-NR or
Form 1040-NR-EZ, attach Form 8843 to
it. Mail your tax return by the due date
(including extensions) to the address
shown in your tax return instructions.
If you don’t have to file a 2019 tax
return, mail Form 8843 to the
Department of the Treasury, Internal
Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX
73301-0215 by the due date (including
extensions) for filing Form 1040-NR or
Form 1040-NR-EZ.
Penalty for Not Filing
Form 8843
If you don’t file Form 8843 on time, you
may not exclude the days you were
present in the United States as a
professional athlete or because of a
medical condition or medical problem
that arose while you were in the United
States. Failure to exclude days of
presence in the United States could
result in your being considered a U.S.
resident under the substantial presence
test.
You won’t be penalized if you can
show by clear and convincing evidence
that you took reasonable actions to
become aware of the filing requirements
and significant steps to comply with
those requirements.
Substantial Presence Test
You are considered a U.S. resident if you
meet the substantial presence test for
2019. You meet this test if you were
physically present in the United States
for at least:
• 31 days during 2019; and
• 183 days during the period 2019, 2018,
and 2017, counting all the days of
physical presence in 2019 but only 1/3
the number of days of presence in 2018
and only 1/6 the number of days in 2017.
Note: To claim the closer connection to
a foreign country(ies) exception to the
substantial presence test described in
Regulations section 301.7701(b)-2, you
must file Form 8840.
Days of presence in the United States.
Generally, you are treated as being
present in the United States on any day
that you are physically present in the
country at any time during the day.
However, you don’t count the following
days of presence in the United States for
purposes of the substantial presence
test.
1. Days you regularly commuted to
work in the United States from a
residence in Canada or Mexico.
2. Days you were in the United States
for less than 24 hours when you were
traveling between two places outside the
United States.
3. Days you were temporarily in the
United States as a regular crew member
of a foreign vessel engaged in
transportation between the United
States and a foreign country or a
possession of the United States unless
you otherwise engaged in trade or
business on such a day.
4. Days you were unable to leave the
United States because of a medical
condition or medical problem that arose
while you were in the United States.
5. Days you were an exempt
individual.
Exempt Individuals
For purposes of the substantial presence
test, an exempt individual includes
anyone in the following categories.
• A teacher or trainee (defined on this
page).
• A student (defined on the next page).
• A professional athlete temporarily
present in the United States to compete
in a charitable sports event.
The term exempt individual also
includes an individual temporarily
present in the United States as a foreign
government-related individual under an
“A” or “G” visa, other than individuals
holding “A-3” or “G-5” class visas. An
individual present under an “A-3” or
“G-5” class visa is not considered a
foreign government-related individual
and must count all his or her days of
presence in the United States for
purposes of the substantial presence
test. For more details, see Pub. 519. If
you are present under any other “A” or
“G” class visa, you are not required to
file Form 8843.
Specific Instructions

If you are attaching Form 8843 to Form
1040-NR or Form 1040-NR-EZ, you
aren’t required to complete lines 1a
through 4a of Form 8843 if you provide
the requested information on the
corresponding lines of Form 1040-NR or
1040-NR-EZ. See Schedule OI of those
forms.
In this case, enter “Information
provided on Form 1040-NR” or
“Information provided on Form 1040-

If Form 8843 is filed separately, you

Line 1b. Enter your current
nonimmigrant status, such as that shown
on your current Immigration Form I-94,
Arrival-Departure Record. If your status
has changed while in the United States,
enter the date of change and previous
status.
Part II—Teachers and
Trainees
A teacher or trainee is an individual who
is temporarily present in the United
States under a “J” or “Q” visa (other than
as a student) and who substantially
complies with the requirements of the
visa.
If you were a teacher or trainee under
a “J” or “Q” visa, you are considered to
have substantially complied with the visa
requirements if you haven’t engaged in
activities that are prohibited by U.S.
immigration laws that could result in the
loss of your “J” or “Q” visa status.
Even if you meet these requirements,
you can’t exclude days of presence in
2019 as a teacher or trainee if you were
exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student
for any part of 2 of the 6 prior calendar
years. But see the Exception below.
If you qualify to exclude days of
presence as a teacher or trainee,
complete Parts I and II of Form 8843. If
you have a “Q” visa, complete Part I and
only lines 6 through 8 of Part II. On line
6, enter the name, address, and
telephone number of the director of the
cultural exchange program in which you
participated.

Exception. If you were exempt as a
teacher, trainee, or student for any part
of 2 of the 6 prior calendar years, you
can exclude days of presence in 2019 as
a teacher or trainee only if all four of the
following apply.
1. You were exempt as a teacher,
trainee, or student for any part of 3 (or
fewer) of the 6 prior calendar years.
2. A foreign employer paid all your
compensation during 2019.
3. You were present in the United
States as a teacher or trainee in any of
the 6 prior years.
4. A foreign employer paid all of your
compensation during each of those prior
6 years you were present in the United
States as a teacher or trainee.
For more details, see Pub. 519.
If you meet this exception, you must
attach information to verify that a foreign
employer paid all the compensation you
received in 2019 and all prior years that
you were present in the United States as
a teacher or trainee.
Part III—Students
A student is an individual who is
temporarily present in the United States
under an “F,” “J,” “M,” or “Q” visa and
who substantially complies with the
requirements of the visa.
If you were a student under an “F,”
“J,” “M,” or “Q” visa, you are considered
to have substantially complied with the
visa requirements if you haven’t engaged
in activities that are prohibited by U.S.
immigration laws and could result in the
loss of your visa status.
Even if you meet these requirements,
you can’t exclude days of presence in
2019 as a student if you were exempt as
a teacher, trainee, or student for any part
of more than 5 calendar years unless you
establish that you don’t intend to reside
permanently in the United States. The
facts and circumstances to be
considered in determining if you have
established that you don’t intend to
reside permanently in the United States
include, but aren’t limited to:
1. Whether you have maintained a
closer connection to a foreign country
than to the United States (for details, see
Pub. 519), and
2. Whether you have taken affirmative
steps to change your status from
nonimmigrant to lawful permanent
resident.
If you qualify to exclude days of
presence as a student, complete Parts I
and III of Form 8843. If you have a “Q”
visa, complete Part I and only lines 10
through 14 of Part III. On line 10, enter
the name, address, and telephone
number of the director of the cultural
exchange program in which you
participated.
Part IV—Professional
Athletes
A professional athlete is an individual
who is temporarily present in the United
States to compete in a charitable sports
event. For details on charitable sports
events, see Pub. 519.
If you qualify to exclude days of
presence as a professional athlete,
complete Parts I and IV of Form 8843.
Part V—Individuals With a
Medical Condition or
Medical Problem
For purposes of the substantial presence
test, don’t count the days you intended
to leave the United States but couldn’t
do so because of a medical condition or
medical problem that arose while you
were in the United States. Whether you
intended to leave the United States on a
particular day is determined based on all
the facts and circumstances. For more
details, see Pub. 519.
If you qualify to exclude days of
presence because of a medical condition
or medical problem, complete Part I and
lines 17a through 17c of Part V. Have
your physician or other medical official
complete line 18.
Note: You cannot exclude any days of
presence in the United States under any
of the following circumstances.
• You were initially prevented from
leaving, were then able to leave, but
remained in the United States beyond a
reasonable period for making
arrangements to leave.
• You entered or returned to the United
States for medical treatment. It does not
matter whether you intended to leave the
United States immediately after the
medical treatment but couldn’t do so
because of unforeseen complications
from the medical treatment.
• The medical condition existed before
your arrival in the United States and you
were aware of the condition. It does not
matter whether you needed treatment for
the condition when you entered the
United States.
