Hello, I am a U.S. citizen working in Iraq, I've been here since 08/26/2021 and i'm still currently in Iraq, planning to leave 07/31/2023. On last year's taxes I filed an extension, and when I finished filing my taxes, I placed 08/25/2022 as the end for the period for the exclusion, which all was fine and it went through. I was guessing that this next period for exclusion for this years taxes I will have to put down 08/25/2022, using last years end of the period as this years start of the period; though, I wasn't sure, and I would love and appreciate any insight into that. Also, I wanted to file an extension again, and finish filing 08/24/2023, but I will be leaving Iraq 07/31/2023. Weird question I'm sure, and I apolpgize for my ignorance, but Is something like that allowed?
Also, just an fyi, my time here has been consecutive, as I haven't left Iraq at all and don't plan to until I actually leave on the planned date of 07/31/2023.
