@pdholden2 

are you an expat living abroad ?  Which country ?

are you employed  by a local entity  or self-employed ?

When did you enter that country ?

Is this your first year abroad ?

Note  that  if you are abroad your filing date is  June 15/16th but the pay date is still April 15/16th.

generally the best path is to use the Foreign Earned income exclusion.  So please answer  my questions and I will come back and help you -- yes ?
