Deductions & credits
@wade-stephens I am not sure I understand everything here -- so let list what I get :
(a) you were in the USA 2017 (120 days ), 2018 (45 days ) and 2019 ( April 2019 through the end of the year )
(b) you are married to a US citizen
(c) during the period Nov & Dec 2019, you were back in Poland , visiting
(d) you now are a Resident ( Green Card --Feb 2020 )
As I see it for 2019 you would be a Resident for Tax purposes --- You would have passed the Substantial Presence Test sometime in { 1/6 of the days present in 2017 plus 1/3rd of the days in 2018 plus all the days present in 2019 ) July of 2019. Thus for the test period starting with entering on K visa you would be filing a Resident return for 2019 on form 1040 ( supported by TurboTax). You are being taxed on world income and so I do not understand why you are looking at form 2555 which is for US Expats living and earning abroad , trying to exclude foreign earned income from US taxes. From your post you do not have any foreign earned income to exclude. Please explain what you are trying to do.
