Yes, that’s not a problem at all. You can file a joint tax return with only you claiming the foreign earned income exclusion.The tests to qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion work completely separately for each spouse. So, each spouse must independently qualify (or not) for the foreign earned income exclusion.Then, as a reporting matter, the foreign earned income exclusion is claimed by each applicable person by including IRS Form 2555 for that person in the joint tax return.So, your joint tax return would only have an IRS Form 2555 for you.Here’s more detail on how the tests work for the foreign earned income exclusion: Reduce or Eliminate Your US Tax Bill with the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion - U.S Tax Services
