    Form 8843, line 4b
    I am puzzled while filling up form 8843 line 4b which is Enter the number of days in 2008 you claim you can exclude for purposes of Substantial Presence Test.

    My situation:
    Number of days present in US in 2008 - 322 days
    Out of 322 days, Number of days on H1B is 92 days, before that I was on F1 OPT so those days don't count towards the Substantial Presence test.

    Should the answer to line 4b be
    1) Total number of days in 2008 - 92 -> 366-92 OR
    2) number of days I was present in US -92 -> 322-92

    Thanks for your help
