540NR domicile? residence?

Post by cognac »

Hi experts,
I am a Canadian working in California under a J1 visa since September 2008. Being a non-resident by definition under my J1 I wonder why thy are asking me if I am resident in the 540NR form. In the same form it is also asked for the domicile. What should I enter?

You are non-resident.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
