According to the below standards, you do qualify. Each state has different rules, so I would have to know the state to investigate that question. Post it in the comments below.
To qualify for the exclusion, the taxpayer's tax home must be outside the U.S. In addition, the taxpayer must meet either of two tests:
- Bonafide residence test:: the taxpayer was a bona fide resident of a foreign country for a period that includes a full U.S. tax year, or
- Physical presence test: the taxpayer must be physically present in a foreign country (or countries) for at least 330 full days in any 12-month period that begins or ends in the tax year in question.
