A freind of mine is retired military who sent in a 1041A every year for his retired pay and always filed jointly(his wife is a dutch national with a ssn and she works for a dutch company and pays dutch taxes).he didn't know he had to file for his dutch income.Now he wants to get it straight but is being told when he does his 1040/2555 he should now file single.Is that okay?
Also he stopped working for his company and get a monthly paymentbecause he left voluntarily(not a pension as that starts here at 65).Can he get the foreign earned exclusion on his pay.
How many years back does he have to file and will he get penilized for not filing.
