After sending off Form 8802 and receiving my residency certificate 6166, must I do another IRS form to claim the foreign earned income exemption on my U.S. taxes. I work at a public school under GPOE and my school hasn't been deducting taxes.

When you file your tax return (normally due April 15, but overseas filers get an automatic extension 'til June 15), you file Form 2555-EZ or 2555 to claim the foreign earned income exemption. This form is filed with your Form 1040 individual income tax return.

Thanks for your reply.

Is this right: certificate 6166 is merely provided to my Korean public school to confirm my claim that I am exempt from Korean taxes for the first two years?

Now I've been told they won't give me the certificate, because I don't have proof I wasn't required to file a return in 2006. I hate the IRS. It took them a year to tell me that.

Just file a 2006 return. Problem solved.
