Foreighn earned income exclusion

I have gone bacvk through my return and found this to be interesting.  After finishing the foreign earned income exclution it shows ther exclusion to be 68,462 instead of 34231.12 USD.  later on it shows my 2024 income as -68,462.  Then later it shows my total income as -5838.  It appears the program has made an eror in how it handled the exclusion.

It appears that you entered your foreign income twice. You should enter the amount of income in only one place in TurboTax. Exactly where you enter it depends on what, if any, form you received from your employer showing the income. In most cases you would enter it under "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion," and only there.
