Deductions & credits

@Eucalyptus , generally  a country is not listed for purposes  Cost of Living adjustments ---  but it should not affect your 2555  -- because    you just have to enter your wages and any housing assistance.  Obviously I am speaking in generalities -    I need   at least the following info  first :

(a) Are you a US person  ( citizen / GreenCard ) ?

(b) which country would be your Tax home ?

(c) Because you are taking home leave  every six months  -- that expense ( if paid by the employer ) needs to be included  on your form 2555.

(d) Who is your employer  ( a local entity /  a subsidiary of a US entity / US govt or any of its branches etc. etc. )

(e) Is your Tax-Home country going to tax you on your wages while working in that country ?

 

Please provide as much info as you can.  I will circle back once I hear from you.
