@Eucalyptus  I appreciate your  answers.   I need the country to be able to look-up treaty considerations.  If you are uncomfortable with providing more details on this public board, you are welcome to  PM me with the details  ( just NO person ally Identifiable info ).

 Note that the  330 days   abroad is a firm requirement within  the test period of  continuous 365 days --- the tax year must fall within that test period.   Thus say you leave the USA on the  20th of September and arrive at your  foreign station   on the  morning of  22nd of September, your first full day ( 24 hrs ) i.e. 23rd of Sept. is your start of Foreign stay.  This means that  your foreign tax home is established on 23rd. of Sept 2024 and your earliest 12 month test period  is  09/23/2024 through 09/23/2025.  Within this test period  you  must meet 330 days  abroad -- not counting travel days over international waters etc.

 

I will come back once I hear from you -- after looking up if the Foreign country  has and I have read through the treaty contents.

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
