From the referenced article:
"If you do meet the substantial presence test, you would need to file a Closer Connection Exception Statement for Aliens, better known as an IRS 8840 form or snowbird filing".
It's a good idea to place a copy of your latest 8840 Form with your Passport/Nexus Card. A U.S. Border Guard may ask to see the form when you enter the U.S. for an extended period of time.
