Thank you very much for your response. Unfortunately, I can not take the tax credit because I am exempt from paying taxes in the foreign country. On Form 2555, Part VI says Taxpayers Claiming the Housing Exclusion and/or Deduction and part VII says Taxpayers Claiming the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Can I not simply complete Form 2555 and fill out Part VI but not Part VII, so that I can claim the Foreign Housing Exclusion and not the Foreign Income Exclusion?
