Deductions & credits

My wife has been working overseas since May 1 2019, and will likely be there through October 31 2020 - a period of 18 months.

Can we claim overseas residency for her for:

1. The 2019 tax year by using 330 days from May 1 2019 - April 30 2020, and then also

2. The 2020 tax year by using 330 days from November 1 2019 - October 30 2020?

 

The income for which this applies will obviously only be applicable to one tax year or the other, but I recall reading somewhere that as long as the 330 day period was met and at least some of the time was in the tax year in question, the time period which justifies the 330 days for residency could overlap with another tax year's residency period?

 

Thank you,
