Changed jobs in year - Form 2555?
« on: January 22, 2011, 07:58:51 PM »
I'm claiming the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, but changed jobs (both in the UK) partway through the year. Form 2555 doesn't have anywhere for a second job - does this mean I should fill out a 2555 for each job?

Seems obvious but I don't want to screw it up ...

Thanks for any help.

No - you just file 1 Form for each person for each year.

In practice you would compare the tax with and without the exclusion because not claiming the exclusion often gives a better answer.

Don't forget that some income such as employer contributions to a UK pension plan cannot be excluded.
