@Japtrupusz , if you are a US person ( GreenCard for this case ) , have left the USA and have abandoned your GreenCard, then there is no much you can do to avoid the tax situation you quoted.
If , on the otherhand, you have not abandoned your GreenCard , are working in another country, you do have some choices -0-
(a) you can delay your abandonment till start of next tax year (i.e. continue as a permanent resident till the end of this year), include your foreign income on your return. This would allow you to use the standard deduction but of course this would mean your foreign income would be taxed by the USA and the country where you have moved to but you can ameliorate the effects of double taxation by using foreign tax credit ( there is no safe harbor for active/employment income) using form 1116 . Note that this means your foreign tax credit while recognized in full would be limited for the year based on a ratio of foreign income to world income.
Does this help ?
