Does the time spent in US on B1 contribute to the 183 days that are counted while calulating tax for the year?
for example- suppose I spent 20 days on B1 in Jan. Now I move to US on July 15th on a valid work visa, then, what is the effective number of days spent in US in 2012?
Option A -
20(b1)+(July 15th to Dec 31st on H1) = 20+169 = 189
Option B-
July 15th to Dec 31st on H1 = 169
Thoughts?
