Pacun Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tax Payer move to a country on November 1, 2017 and will return to her condo on October 31, 2018. Can I use the exclusion 1/6 in 2017 and 5/6 in 2018? Can I use the whole exclusion in 2017? Can I use the whole exclusion in 2018? Tax Payer will not pay income tax in the country where she is working. Also, I should be able to use Moving expenses up to the amount reported on her W-2, box 1, correct?

Max W Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yes, you can pro-rate the exclusion. Some people are under the impression that their state tax is also excluded. Not so, unless they have severed all connections with that state and that is often hard to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Thank you. I also thought that the state honored the exclusion but I am glad you mentioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
