If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude up to $104,100 in 2018 from income. In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts. For additional information see Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Publication 54 - Tax Guide for US Citizens Abroad
If you qualify, you can use Form 2555 to figure your foreign earned income exclusion and your housing exclusion or deduction. You cannot exclude or deduct more than your foreign earned income for the year.
