If I lived in Europe (husband in Active duty military stationed on Europe), am a US citizen, but worked for a U.S. Government contractor am I eligible for the FEIE?

lived there the entire 12 months of 2020
I paid into Fed Taxes and FICA

You would not be excluded from the foreign earned income exclusion because you worked for a contractor of the US government, only if you worked for the US government would you be automatically excluded.

 

So you should work through the foreign earned income exclusion section in TurboTax.
