I worked and lived in the UK from Nov 2009 to Jul 2011. Earned $143K from UK employment during H1-2011 and earned $100K in the USA during H2-2011. Do I use 1116 or 2555 or both

How many days did you complete in US in 2011? Are you married? Did you file 2010 tax return in US?

Everything MukatA asks is pertinent; we need a LOT more information before we can give concise answers.
