you need to be outside the US for 330 days. I dont believe there are any exceptions.

Just so there is no misunderstanding, the foreign income exclusion only applies to the first $85,000.00. There rest, I believe, is taxable at its usual rate. Unless somebody tells me different this is how I understand it to work, in addition to being out of the country for the most part of a year.

What if you are a US citizen working and living overseas and you travel back to the states more than 40 days? Is there an exception if you are living overseas. This client doesnt have a house in the US anymore. The concren is the that client is not overseas at least 330 days

it doesnt matter if you live abroad, if you blow the 330 day test you dont qualify for the FEIE. FYI: The FEIE is up to $85,700 for yr 07

If its 85,000.00 for '07, does that mean it may go up for the year '08? And if so, by how much does it go up on average per year?
