Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi, thank you for the response. You don't have to live outside the US for 330 days in 12 consecutive months if you have already established "Bona Fide residency" by residing in the foreign country for an entire tax year (this year or a prior year). Once you have established Bona Fide residency, it applies until you 'abandon' this residency. This is my tenth year living overseas and we never use the 330 day rule for filing.
What I was saying was that when I click on the "I had to leave the country due to the Covid-19 emergency", it does not allow me to fill out the part of the form 2555 about "Bona Fide" residency. The Physical Presence test is the 330 day rule, the Bona Fide residency test does not require this. There seems to be a glitch in the Turbo Tax questionnaire.
