A) 183; 12 month period, easy peasy. Though I swear, these tax rules are like a never-ending game of 'guess the number' - just when you think you've got it figured out, they throw you a curveball!

Oof, I'm drawing a blank on this one. D) 265; 6 month period? Is that even a thing? Guess I better brush up on my double tax treaty knowledge before the exam.

Wait, isn't it C) 230; 12 month period? I feel like I remember seeing that number somewhere in the tax regulations. But hey, who can keep track of all these little details, am I right?

That sounds about right, it's always good to double check though.

Yeah, I believe it's 230 days within a 12 month period for the exemption.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this. Let me think... Wasn't it something like 165 days in a 6-month period? I could be wrong, but B) sounds about right to me.
