Hi RandomStairs! Thanks for advice. I did applied for permit.

"establishing residence in Russia (for tax purposes) is very dangerous for your LPR status"

Thanks for warning me. Question:

Is it dangerous at the moment when I'll be returning back after first or second 3 months trip? At the airport?

Or is it dangerous at the moment when I'll be filing tax return for that year and claiming it as residence for several months? I plan to pay US taxes from all my remote work (same way as I do it here) and also declare foreign home sale. But I hoped to lower capital gain taxes from home sale for the months I was living there (preparing to sell it and everything)

Hi everyone. Question: I'm LPR and have a house in my home country that I'm selling.

I need to spent half year there to sell the house (in Russia you are paying 0% from home sale if you are tax resident and 30% if not  (and 30% not from gain, from whole sale price!), to become a tax resident you need to spent inside country 6 months). I'm little bit worried about breaking continuous residence and delaying becoming a citizen or having troubles returning back. But I think with two 3 months trips  should be fine, if I:

not taking a job there

keep using my USA banks accounts and phone numbers

keep working remotely (graphical freelance) and paying taxes

right?

So, main concern:

 I was thinking about claiming my house as main residence for that 3 + 3 months period on USA tax return (to avoid capital gain tax).

But, will it be a reason to consider my continuous residence in USA broken for this period? (for naturalisation )

Thanks a lot for any answer
