I think this is the part I’m hung up on, interpretation-wise - hear me out - since we aren’t being treated as unmarried or meet those special conditions,  we can’t claim the credit -  but seem to “generally be able to take the exclusion” if we meet the conditions in 2-5, which we do. 

Everyone must meet the 5 general conditions.

 

If you file MFS, you must also meet the 3 special conditions.
