If you are a member of an organization directly supporting military operations and working in a combat zone, you may be eligible for a tax extension.

Civilian Employees
Contractors
Red Cross Members

The foreign earned income exclusion is not automatic. Eligible taxpayers must file a U.S. income tax return each year with either a Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ attached. These forms, instructions and Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad, will be revised later this year to reflect this clarification.

If you’ve already filed your previous year’s tax returns you will have to file amended returns.
