Part year "foreign income"
I am U.S. citizen, and I earned most of my money for a U.S.-based company while I was in the U.S. from January to June 2007 (>$10,000 U.S.). From October 2007 to December 2007, I earned money in Thailand (<$2000 U.S) for a non-U.S. based company (I began working for a new company and this money was not taxed by the Thai government). I am almost positive that I do not qualify for any of the Foreign Income Exclusions during 2007 because I arrived in Thailand in October.
1) Do I need to report this foreign income? If so, on what line of Form 1040 do I report the foreign income?
2) Do I fill out Form 2555, and if so do I only fill out the parts of 2555 entitled "Part I: General Information" and "Part IV: All Taxpayers"
Form 2555 seems to be directed toward taxpayers who meet all or part of the requirements for the exclusions (which I do not).
Thank you!
