Answer:
2020 = $212,086
2021 = $192,400
Explanation:
To determine George's gross income in 2020 and 2021 we need to calculate the amount that george can exclude from the gross income for both years.
George's gross income in 2020
George can exclude amount from his gross income = $107,600 x 214/366 (Lower of foriegn earned income $275,000 or foriegn earned income exclusion ceiling of $107,600 for 2020)
George can exclude amount from his gross income = $62,914
Therefore
George's gross income in 2020 = $275,000 - $62,914 ($100,000 + $175,000)
George's gross income in 2020 = $212,086
George's gross income in 2021
George can exclude the amount from his gross income = $107,600 x 365/365 (Lower of foreign earned income of $300,000 or foreign earned income exclusion ceiling of $107,600 for 2021)
George can exclude the amount from his gross income = $107,600
Therefore
george's income in 2021 = $300,000 - $107,600
george's income in 2021 = $192,400
