Yes, I am referring to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, and its Physical Presence Test.
Question 1: If I departed the US for a foreign country on a workday, does that count as a day worked in the US? I have been taking the conservative route whenever there is a gray area, so in my preparation I have counted this as a day worked in the US. But I don’t want to leave money on the table if it really isn't a day worked in the US.
For instance, the IRS website only says that a day departed from the US to a foreign country would not count as a full day abroad, in reference to the 330 day test. It doesn’t say whether it also wouldn’t count as a full day worked in the US if its on a work day during the tax year. I would assume its over international waters and couldn’t be counted for either a day worked in the US or a day abroad.
I also have other questions, but I cant think of the specific ones at the moment.
