How do I file for non-residency, so I don't have to pay state taxes? I live overseas, but I am not active military. I teach for the government.

You file Form 2555, Foreign Income Exclusion, if you have lived overseas at least 330 days. You can exclude up to $105,900 of income earned outside of the United States, from US taxes.

The 330 days do not all have to be in the same calendar year.  For example if you moved overseas in March of 2019 and have lived outside the US and are currently living outside the US, that time counts as your 330 days, so you can exclude your foreign earned income for 2019.

To include this form in your return go to.
