Hello! Thanks in advance for your help.
Not sure if this is the right area for this post.
Our situation is a little unusual...
We lived and worked in Germany August 2017-August 2018 and used the physical presence test before. Then we were in the US from August 2018-August 2019.
Now, we are once again in Germany, living/working overseas, as of August 2019.
So, first question is, do we already qualify for the physical presence test and/or the bona fide residence since we've lived here before?
If not, we understand that you have to show residence for 330 days to be able to not have to pay US takes on your foreign income. Out question...
Since we've only been here since August 2019. But we are definitely staying 2 years (as per my wife's contract). So, do we have to wait until August 2020 to file our US taxes to get the bona fide residence? Or can we file whenever, because the intention to stay (with residence permit and work contract) is enough? We don't want to have to file, pay taxes on it, and then have to do an amended return.
Any help would be welcome!
Thank you!
