I’ve been trying to figure out where in form 1040 TurboTax now places foreign-source income, if at all. Line 1 has expanded since last year (now there’s a line for W2 income, and other, rather than just one for all salary/wages) so I’ve sought advice, but I haven’t been willing to pay for TurboTax e-filing until I can see a draft of its return to make sure I’m happy with the placement.
In previous years, line 1 was a catch-all that included salary and wages, so it’s very obvious that income from a job abroad belonged there even though I didn’t have a W2, and TurboTax listed it there. This year, line 1 is split into all sorts of sub-lines. I’m not sure which one TurboTax assigns foreign source income to, if it does at all (does it now use schedule 1 instead?) and would just like confirmation of where TurboTax now shows this to make sure it matches the advice I’ve been given.
(I’m aware of form 2555, which is the foreign earned income exclusion. This also asks for foreign income. But as my foreign income also appeared on 1040 Line 1 in previous years, I would be very surprised if it disappeared this year).
Thanks for any help!
