Don't know where else to ask this...

, then you must get the ITIN number.

There is also a foreign tax credit (exemption)if you do put them on there, but not sure what that amount is somewhere between 50k and ???? USD, but not really sure of the exact amount as that chapter is like seventeen million pages - and as this point sod it, I am just going for the married filing sep -

If you live and work abroad, depending on your situation, you can file a 2555 with your 1040. For 2007, the foreign earned income exclusion is $87,500. If you have made under that amount, you do not owe taxes. If you have made over that amount, you pay on the amount over.

There are two ways to qualify for this. One, you are considered a bona-fide resident of the country abroad. This is a bit complicated to determine and I am not going to attempt to explain it, but I count myself as a bona fide resident of China.

The other way is if you have been in the foreign country for a total of 330 days in a 12-month period.

You can get the 2555 form and instructions on the same page at www.irs.gov where you can get the 1040. It is a fillable and saveable pdf.
