You cannot claim the earned income credit if you file
Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income, or Form 2555-EZ, Foreign Earned Income
Exclusion. You file these forms to exclude income earned in foreign countries from your gross income, or to deduct or exclude a foreign housing
amount. U.S. possessions are not foreign countries. See Publication 54,
Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad, for more
detailed information.
