Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you wouldn't pick option 2.  You would pick option 1 since you are working and living in a foreign country as a US resident. You would still report the income living in the foreign country and take a foreign tax credit.  It won't eliminate the foreign tax paid in the other country, but it'll reduce the foreign tax by the amount of US tax liability on the same income.
