form 2555 unsure about answers
I moved from the USA to Japan in July 2022, and there are a couple of lines on form 2555 that I'm unsure about. First, for Line 9 "List your tax home(s) during your tax year and date(s) established.", since I moved partway through the year, one of my tax homes would be the USA correct? And if so, would my "date established" be my date of birth? Since I've never had a tax home anywhere else before.
Second, for line 17 "Enter your principal country of employment during your tax year.", since I was employed in the USA for most of the year (until July, and also I earned more income in the USA than in Japan in 2022) would I put USA as the answer, even if my qualifying period is for Japan? I was thinking this because it says "tax year" in the question, not "qualifying period".
