Hello,
To preface, I am a US citizen living in Germany. I have received two tax documents from the same employer for the same income. One is the 1099 NEC and the other is the Lohnsteuerbescheinigung, which is the equivalent of a German W-2. When I input the 1099 NEC it does not allow me to deduct the taxes taken on the German tax form nor does it allow me to file the NEC under foreign earned income exclusion. But when I go to the foreign earned income exclusion portion and enter the German W-2 information under "statement from foreign employer" it adds them both up displaying the information from both form on the total calculation when it should only be there once.
I am unsure how to proceed to file these properly or if I should even be filing both at all. Any guidance on this would be great.
