Deductions & credits

You would have revoked it in that year if both of these conditions are met:

  • You did file it in the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022
  • AND you had foreign income in those years (but chose not to exclude it)

You won't have revoked it if you filed it in a prior year when you had foreign-earned income and then had none to report in subsequent years.  Once revoked, you cannot use the exclusion again for five years unless you first request permission from the IRS.
