| Here is my theory, can you tell me if I'm correct?
If I take the foreign earned income exclusion, I lose the ability for tax credit on this excluded income. If my swiss taxes are higher than expected US taxes, I'm loosing...
If I'm going to take the tax credit, I don't need to worry about 330 days.
Also, do you know what parts of the withholding here is considered tax? Is the social security equivalent here is a tax? | |

If your Swiss taxes are higher than your American taxes, it is better
to take the tax credit.
Only income taxes are important to US gov. I.e. payments for
social security cannot be included in your tax credits.
