My husband and I both have SS#s - I'm US citizen and he's perm resident. No dependents.
My job was based in Europe - so my payroll was based in Europe. I worked and was based in Europe for 99% of the time (except for few weeks to visit/vaca in US). Whereas my husband's new job was based mainly in the US so he mainly worked out of the US (approx 7 months in the US, and worked out of Europe for 2-3 months total- he did not work all 12 months). Since he spent 7 months in the US, I think he's not eligible for the Form 2555 - he doesn't have any Foreign Taxes paid as the taxes witheld in Europe all comes out of my paycheck. THis is why I think we have to file separately?
