My husband and I are living in Europe on an expatriate assignment.  My
question relates to the Regular and Roth IRA eligibility guidelines.  We
are interested in opening a regular or Roth IRA  for me this (prior to th=
e
end of the year) and didn't want to wait until our tax return is  complet=
ed
in 1999 to determine our AGI, thus our eligibility.  Both types of IRA's
have AGI limits to determine eligibility, but does anyone know whether th=
e
AGI limits are calculated before or after the Special Foreign Exclusions
(i.e. foreign earned income exclusion, foreign housing exclusion)?  How d=
o
others out there handle determining eligibility for IRA's?

Thanks!
B. Baker
