Deductions & credits

No, to the best of my knowledge a statement is not required to be sent with the tax return for the cash income received.  However, if the IRS ever questioned this income it would be advisable that a statement be available for proof of income.

 

As for the Form 2555, you have to be filing as Married Filing Jointly.  Enter the amount of foreign income earned in the section under your spouse's name only.
