To clarify, if you excluded your foreign earned income on Schedule 1 line 8 (other income) on any of your tax returns and filed Form 2555 then you will not check the box next to "you didn’t previously file Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ to claim either of the exclusions".
If you never claimed the Foreign Earned Income Tax Exclusion and included all of your foreign income in your taxable income then you will check the box next to "you didn’t previously file Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ to claim either of the exclusions".
Please see Foreign Earned Income Exclusion for additional information.
