I claimed the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. We lived outside the country for 333 days. Is my main home still located in the U.S. as we still have an NC address?

If you do not own a home, you can't claim that you do.

 

If you meet certain requirements, you may qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign housing exclusion, and/or the foreign housing deduction. To claim these benefits, you must have foreign earned income, your tax home must be in a foreign country, and you must be one of the following:

• A U.S. citizen who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year,
• A U.S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect and who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year, or
• A U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien who is physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months.

Foreign tax home: You may have a foreign tax home if your work is in a foreign country and you expect to be employed in the foreign country for an indefinite, rather than temporary, period of time.  You do not have a foreign tax home if your abode remains in the United States (where you keep closer familial, economic, and personal ties) unless you work in a Presidentially-declared combat zone in support of the Armed Forces of the United States.  For more information, see Tax Home in a Foreign Country.
