Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The foreign earned income exclusion allows eligible taxpayers to exclude up to a certain amount of their foreign-earned income from U.S. taxation. To be eligible, taxpayers must meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test by living and working abroad. In this case, the U.S. citizen worked in France for the entire calendar year of 2019 and met the physical presence test, making them eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion in 2019. They also worked in France until January 31, 2020, making them eligible for the exclusion in 2020 as well.
