You may qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion. You would enter the rent you pay for your apartment on Form 2555, line 28. Your housing allowance must exceed $20,800 in 2025 to be deductible per this IRS article on foreign housing exclusion or deduction , I believe that is likely why you are not getting your housing deduction in part IX of Form 2555.
