Question

How do I enter the value of employer-provided goods if I am a US resident who is currently an Au Pair for a family in France?

They are technically my "employer" but I live in their home and they provide my meals and my use of their car. I'm not sure how to estimate these amounts as they are a host family.

I recommend making a list and making an estimate to keep with your tax records. See Part VI on page 4 of IRS Form 2555 Instructions addresses housing:

Line 28. Enter the total reasonable expenses paid or incurred during the tax year by you, or on your behalf, for your foreign housing
