Thanks BettyJo for your response.  I am trying to fully understand your recommendation.  For example, my one client claims foreign earnings exclusion through meeting the bona fide residence test.  On the 2555 form (pages 1 - 3), the only date fields that I have information in are:

Part I line 9 - date tax home was established

Part II line 10 date bona fide residence began and ended

This client hasn't traveled during the year.  All other date fields have no data entered.  I do not have any information entered into Part III (Physical Presence Test).
