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.
