I have a question for this page (see screenshot).
For the first part of the year, I had foreign employer-provided housing which I inputted the amount on a previous page that said the fair value of the housing.
For the second part, I received a HOUSING ALLOWANCE (CASH STIPEND) in lieu of housing. I inputted this on another page which showed money paid in cash for "Quarters" by the foreign employee.
For the Foreign housing expenses, do I only include the first part (value of the foreign employer-provided housing)? Or the combination of both the employer-provided housing market value AND the CASH provided in the housing allowance (cash stipend)? I didn't fully use the cash stipend directly for rent or whatever and I don't want to itemize all of the other things on there (utilities, taxes, etc.).
For now, I just put the foreign employer-provided housing only. But, if I need to add the housing allowance (cash stipend) to it, I can.
Is it maybe even my choice since it's an exclusion? Thanks in advance!
