IRS Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income, is the attachment U.S. citizens and resident aliens working abroad file with Form 1040 to claim the foreign earned income exclusion and the foreign housing exclusion or deduction. You qualify through the bona fide residence or physical presence test. JustFill makes the official IRS PDF fillable in your browser free — auto-detect fields, type or dictate, download.
IRS Form 2555 is the tax form U.S. citizens and resident aliens living and working overseas use to exclude foreign earned income from U.S. tax. JustFill makes it fillable in your browser. Officially titled "Foreign Earned Income," it attaches to your Form 1040 and lets you claim the foreign earned income exclusion (up to an inflation-adjusted annual limit) plus the foreign housing exclusion or deduction. To qualify you must have a tax home in a foreign country and meet either the bona fide residence test (a full, uninterrupted tax year abroad) or the physical presence test (at least 330 full days in any 12-month period). The form walks through your foreign address, employer, qualifying period, earned income, and housing costs, then calculates the amount you can exclude. That figure carries to Schedule 1 of Form 1040, reducing your taxable income. Note that Form 2555-EZ was discontinued after 2018, so everyone now uses the full Form 2555.
What each section of Form 2555 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.
