Re: Paying taxes overseas in lieu of paying taxes at home. .... nope.

Berge is correct, you would need to pass residency tests, not just source of income tests to qualify for any foreign earned income exclusion.
If you stay/live in the US, forget it. You would not qualify.

I believe that I'm set, in that I will have spent 330 out of a 365 day window out of the United States, which is what is required to pass the "residency test". I don't think that it has to be 330 out of 365 of a given tax year, either. Having said that, it probably wouldn't hurt to consult a tax professional the first time I try filing this way.
