Letter from IRS!!

Hi all

I've been filing US taxes since I did Streamlined Compliance in 2015. I just had a letter asking for page 3 of Form 2555 for 'Dec 31, 2021'. I checked my copies and it appears I managed to leave that page entirely blank!

My question is, does 'Dec 31, 2021' mean I need to send in Form 2555 for 2021?

Just checking. I can phone them later when they're awake to ask.

Anything from the IRS terrifies me.

I think it means what you think it means.  They require page 3 of the 2555 you filed with your 2021 tax return. Nothing sinister I think. 

A couple of years ago I received a similar letter and it certainly does raise a shiver down the spine.  In my case I had forgotten to include a copy of the 1099-R for my US pension. They also asked for a couple of forms I had never heard of, and when I looked them up they were specifically for non-US citizens so when I sent in the copy of the 1099-R I included a letter stating that we had been filing as US Citizens for over 10 years and included a copy of our US Passports.  Never heard anything back but my refund did eventually appear so I guess they were happy.

Thank you!
