Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The foreign earned income exclusion does not apply to investments within the US.  So your stock sales, if reported on schedule D, would not be exempt from tax due to your living abroad.

 

If you had an overall loss from the sale of stock you will be able to take $3,000 of that loss against any income that you have for the year that exceeds the foreign earned income exclusion.
