Foreign Income Exclusion for partial year
I moved abroad for work in late October 2021 and am in the process of filing taxes. TurboTax is saying I don't qualify for either the Bona Fide Residence Test or Physical Residence Test given that I've been abroad for less than a year.
However, I've read elsewhere that I can pro-rate this for my partial year, given that I plan to be abroad for over a year (indefinite at this point). I've seen others say they've amended their 2021 returns once they hit that time frame. But, I want to avoid having to pay a lot out of pocket now for taxes, given that I will qualify once the time hits. Is there another way I can take advantage of the exclusion at this point, so I'll be able to file my taxes normally?
