Practice question: Kinds of Taxpayers

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A nonresident alien remains here for 100 days on one visit and 90 on another during the same calendar year. No special exception changes the stated rule. Does the absence of a single continuous 181-day visit defeat Section25's deeming provision?
  1. Yes; only uninterrupted stays can count.
  2. Yes; each visit starts a new calendar year by law.
  3. No; because any one-day visit automatically confers citizenship.
  4. No; the rule uses aggregate days, and the stipulated total exceeds180.
  5. Yes; nonresident aliens can never be deemed doing business.
