Snowbirds and the Substantial Presence Test

Substantial Presence Test

Introduction

As the cold winds of winter sweep across Canada, many Canadians embark on a migration southward, seeking refuge from the snow and ice. These intrepid travellers, affectionately known as “snowbirds,” flock to the warm and sunny shores of Florida, turning cities like Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Clearwater, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale into their winter havens. While the allure of Florida’s sunshine is undeniable, it’s crucial for these snowbirds to consider the implications of the Substantial Presence Test on their tax obligations. In this blog post, we’ll explore the tax responsibilities that Canadians may face during their extended stays in the Sunshine State.

The Substantial Presence Test:

The Substantial Presence Test is a crucial factor for Canadians spending an extended period in the United States. This test helps determine whether an individual is considered a U.S. resident for tax purposes, leading to potential tax obligations. Snowbirds must be aware of the following key aspects:

Counting Days —

The Substantial Presence Test is based on the number of days an individual spends in the United States over a three-year period. This calculation involves counting all the days present in the current year, one-third of the days in the preceding year, and one-sixth of the days in the second preceding year.

183-Day Threshold —

To be considered a resident for tax purposes, an individual must meet the 183-day threshold. This means spending at least 183 days in the U.S. within the three-year period calculated under the Substantial Presence Test.

Potential Tax Implications —

If a snowbird meets the criteria of the Substantial Presence Test, they may be subject to U.S. taxation on their worldwide income. This includes income earned both in the U.S. and abroad.
