If you haven't filed your return yet, then you can print the return and pay any balance due to the IRS with the 4868 extension before April 15th. Also, file the Form 2350 extension so that you can extend your return until November 2018. When you view your forms, on form 1040 page one, line 21 does it have a negative amount excluding foreign earned income? You will not be able to efile your return as efile ends October 15, 2018. You will need to mail your return this November. You need to print it and wait until November to file. Just to make sure, you are still living and working overseas??? If not, you cannot claim the foreign earned income exclusion.
