Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@koalatax , thank you very much closing the loop and that you have had your question already answered.

Just wanted to be sure that you understood : 

(a)        that for the  self-employed portion of your income , the amount transferred to  form 2555 ( Foreign Earned Income Exclusion ) is the same as the amount shown as  income for Schedule-SE  ( Self-Employment Tax);

(b)  that unless the country where you have your tax home has a Totalization agreement with US, your wages  ( from employment ) are also subject to  Social Security / Medicare  taxes  and is best done by reporting as if this was  self-employment income ( Schedule-C )   except that there is no deductions allowed .

 

Hope this does help  --- Is there more one can do for you
