Date left US in Form 2555

Post by dowager »

I came to work in US in Feb 2009, and was never in US before. But in filing the 2555, they ask me what date I left US? What date should I fill up?

You should be using the physical presence test portion of the form.

You are supposed to list the time spent in each country during the 12-month period before you moved to US (thus ending your 12-month PPT period).
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
