Tax question

[flamingelephant]

I am trying to do my wifes US taxes.... not all that fun, but I do Canadian taxes, so its all pretty much same sh!t different pile kind of stuff.

situation:
-My wife is US citizen married to me (canadian citizen) (married in 2003)
-whe have a 2 year old son (dependant?)
-she has lived in canada for the past 2 years
-she is a landed immagrant here
-she has only canadian income to report since she worked up here for about 4 months


So.....

Can I get away with filing a 1040EZ and a 2555EZ, taking the foreign income exclusion and therefore pay no tax?
Different 1040?
Thanks for your help, cause taxes suck

best place to get the answer is Canada's website equivalent to www.irs.gov

not that i know anything, but i thought that as long as a US citizen stayed outside the US for the entire year, the income they earned outside the US was not taxed by the US

i dunno
