I am filing my Form 1040 for tax year 2023. For Tax Year 2023, I was in USA as well as in Netherlands (Europe) for the purpose of employment. My details of stay are as follows: 1. Employment is US: 05/01/2023 to 07/31/2023. 2. Employment is Netherlands (Europe): 07/31/2023 to Present. Guide me whether I am eligible for Foreign income exclusion for tax year 2023 based on the above.

To determine if you are eligible for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) for the tax year 2023, you need to meet certain criteria set by the IRS. Here are the key points to consider: 1. **Tax Home in a Foreign Country**: Your tax home must be in a foreign country. Your tax home is generally the place where you are permanently or indefinitely engaged to work as an employee or self-employed individual. 2. **Qualifying for the Exclusion**: You must meet either the Bona Fide Residence Test or the Physical Presence Test. - **Bona Fide Residence Test**: You must be a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year. Since you moved to the Netherlands on 07/31/2023, you would not meet this test for the 2023 tax year because it does not cover a full tax year. - **Physical Presence Test**: You must be physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any 12-month period. This test is more flexible and can be applied to any 12-month period that overlaps with the tax year. Given your dates of stay: - You were in the U.S. from 05/01/2023 to 07/31/2023. - You were in the Netherlands from 07/31/2023 to the present. To meet the Physical Presence Test
