    Form 1116 or 2555
    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?
