@8extra , agreeing with my colleague @DaveF1006 , would just like add a few items for your consideration:
(a) if you left the USA on July 26th of 2023 then your first full day for start of the 12 month test period may be a day or two after the 26th , depending where your foreign tax home is. For example if you moved to UK, then you would arrive in UK on the morning of 27th -- thus your first full day would be 28th. It is a small point but .....
(b) If a US person is abroad ( out of US ) on the 15th of April ( for example ), your filing date is automatically extended to 15th of June --- you tax payment date is not changed however. No extension required. I agree however, that for you to take advantage of the FEIE, you need to file for an extension -- automatically approved to Oct. 15th. But your tax payment date is still April 15th.
(c) TurboTax will ask you for the time spent back in the USA --- Test period Jul 28th. 2023 through July 28th. 2024 -- and your response would be Dec17th. through Jan 14th ( those are the days you spend in the US) -- this would mean that you still have to declare at least 1 business days in the USA -- the program will not accept ZERO days on business.
Does this make sense or am I confusing you ?
Is there more i can dop for you ?
