Short-term employment abroad, 179 days, will that be a problem on N400?

I will disclose it as I did file taxes on that foreign income 5 years ago. About to apply to naturalize. There was just that 1 trip.

Do you guys think I should wait another year instead?

You should be fine as the absence was less than 6 months.

 

Good Luck!

As long as you can prove it was under 180 days and you maintained ties to US (lease, banks) - there is no problem.

It's way too close to 180 days, I wouldn't be suprised if officer asked about ties to the US during this trip.

No one is coming over to ask you about it. You're the one that need to file an application with evidence of continuous residency.
