Hello,
I have been traveling and working for the past 4 years without having been back in the US since I left, and have been claiming foreign earned income exclusion for the first 3 years. Last year however, I did not have any foreign income while living off of savings, but still have to file a tax return.
How do I file last year's income tax without revoking my choice of foreign earned income exclusion?
From what I understand, I need to actually earn foreign income to continue using the exclusion, and if I don't then am I supposed to revoke it?
I expect to have foreign income this year, and do not want to have to revoke and then reinstate the exclusion.
Thank you
Thomas
