PHYSICAL PRESENCE TEST CALCULATOR
In order to qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion, you must:
- Establish your abode in a foreign country
- Meet either the Physical Presence test or the Bona Fide Residence Test.
To meet the physical presence test, you must be physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during a consecutive 12-month period. In other words, you can only be present in the United States for a maximum of 35 days during that same 12-month period in order to qualify. Full days are defined as a 24 hour period, and time on or over international waters in transit to or from the United States does not count towards the requirement. It can be challenging to determine the optimal period (There can be several periods under which you could qualify - but only one is the optimal and gives you the greatest amount to exclude from income.) This easy to use calculator is designed to calculate said period for you - of course we won't give away all of our secrets, so be sure to get an instant quote for our services which includes having a Certified Public Accountant calculate your most advantageous tax position, so you pay the least amount of taxes legally possible!
