I will be outside the US for 330 days, but not in one calendar year. Can I still use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to reduce my tax bill?

Yes, you can still qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) under the Physical Presence Test even if the 330 days you are outside the U.S. do not fall within one calendar year. 

The Physical Presence Test requires you to be physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months. The 12-month period can start with any day of the year and ends the day before the same calendar day 12 months later. 

However, it's important to note that the FEIE only applies to foreign-earned income, which is income you earn from working while physically present in a foreign country.
