Deductions & credits

It depends. According to this link from IRS. gov., "The computation of the base housing amount (line 32 of Form 2555) is tied to the maximum foreign earned income exclusion. The amount is 16% of the maximum exclusion amount divided by 365 (366 if a leap year), then multiplied by the number of days in your qualifying period that fall within your tax year."

 

To my knowledge, the IRS does not take into account specific differences related to the geographical location of your home.
