The foreign earned income exclusion may be available if:
● You are a bona fide resident of a foreign country, or
● You are physically outside the U.S. for 330 days out of any 365 day period and your tax home is abroad.
Should I file jointly with my foreign spouse?
When preparing your tax return, I will let you know if it is better to file jointly with your spouse. It often is if your income is above the $85,700 exclusion or you have substantial non-earned income. Your spouse's foreign income (if any) would need to be reported, but he/she is also entitled to the foreign income exclusion.
