Thanks, Yes, she did make over the threshold of 13,000 but when we enter the 3500, (I was wrong about 5000) it adds 200 to what she owes. I think since she paid taxes in France, there should be a way to take them into consideration. That is what I am looking at now. The section we were in just had you see if you can use exclusions but since she was under the 12 months, she couldn't.
She didn't think it would be this confusing since most of her teaching staff didn't claim it, but they were there longer than she was.
