Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The foreign earned income exclusion allows U.S. citizens working abroad to exclude a certain amount of their foreign earned income from U.S. taxation. To be eligible, the individual must meet certain criteria including the requirement to have a tax home in a foreign country and to pass either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test. In this scenario, the individual worked in France for the entire calendar year of 2010 and meets the criteria for the exclusion. As a result, they are eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion for both 2010 and 2011.
