    If you were in the country for fewer than 31 days during that year (not counting numerous exemptions), you should be OK. If more, it gets really complicated. If you have had taxes withheld, talk to an accountant.
    Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

    "I am not evading tax in any way, shape or form. Now of course I am minimizing my tax and if anybody in this country doesn't minimize their tax they want their heads read because as a government I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra."
    Kerry Packer, Australian Media Tycoon (and True Casino Whale), responding to a question posed at "Print Media Inquiry" convened by Australian Federal Parliament, November 1991

    I doubt any of us here can throw around the kind of action Packer did (USD$450,000 a hand in Blackjack; up to 7-figure USD sums per visit) but that would be a valid sentiment to have regarding the United States government of today.

    Rupert Murdoch is also Australian born and raised, what is it with Australians making it big in the media business?
