...exempt/exclusion zone Form 2555? This is My Second Tax year "overseas warzone" where the roughly 90 Grand Tax exclusion may apply. My physical presence test is way within range required I've been in such cirsumstances 2 and a half years with no relevant interruption.
For the first return when I filed the "tax exclusion worked" my return was OK after filling out the Form 2555(foreign earned income....xxx) among other steps.
However this year, my taxing situation literally nothing changed from a tax relevant perspective but I was taxed on the FULL earnings(Taxable Income) instead of being taxed the "amount in excess of ~90".
Taxable Income was listed as and then Charged for the "Full Amount" earned despite earning less than the "~90K exempt ceiling" for the tax period. In essence about 16K was charged.
How do I correct that situation?
