Hi there, I need some help whether I can get foreign tax income exclusion by physical presence test. I am US resident alien for Tax Purposes, move outside US to work abroad on July 11, 2024. I have been physically present in the current country till date. My question would be, if I file my tax return by June 16th will I qualify for foreign tax income exclusion by physical presence test (330 days outside US). Thank you!

Yes. I should satisfy the terms of the physical presence test if you file your return on June 16.

So I should just apply for extension for now? And file it closer to June 16th to meet the 330 days outside US?
