What date did you first arrive in the US in 2018?  Were you in the US in 2016 or 2017?  What visa?  Thank you.  I am asking the questions so I can determine what type of return you need to file.

I am a US resident (Green Card holder) since 2015, and was out of US for job reasons. Filed Foreign earned income for year 2015,16,17. Moved back permanently on July 23rd 2018. So can i file foreign earned income exclusion till July 23rd and then onwards regular tax? Thanks

Yes, you can use the foreign earned income exclusion from 7/24/17 to 7/23/18 if you meet the Physical Presence Test .

You meet this test if you are physically present in a foreign country or countries for a total of 330 full days (approximately 11 months) during a 12-month period.

This test applies to both U.S. citizens and U.S. resident aliens. Some of this time may be vacation time in foreign countries.
