Foreign Earned Income exclusion

---

The income that was earned in the foreign country should first be entered on the appropriate line of the tax return. Then, complete Form 2555.

 

Form 2555 can be electronically filed.

 

Notes:

 

If Form 2555 is included in the return, the taxpayer cannot qualify for Earned Income Credit (EIC).

For electronic filing purposes, a tax return can contain only 1 copy of Form 2555 per taxpayer.
