Eligible for Foreign Income Exclusion?
Hey,
I currently have an E2 Visa and I come from Germany. I came to the US on 06/28/07 and I went back over Christmas from 12/24 (=less than 183 days). That would make me a non-resident alien, correct? I was still employed in the US over Christmas and got paid in the US (Holiday and Vacation Pay). Someone told me that it's a little different for E2-Visa-Holders and that I would still be considered a resident alien for tax reasons.
Am I eligible to file 1040 and to exclude my German income by adding Form 2555(EZ) (Foreign earned Income Exclusion)? If not, why?
Thanks
