Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Amy

 

Thank you for your kind reply.

I am filing Form 2555 as I have income from a company I work here in Japan.

I was told that maternity leave allowance from the government is considered a benefit and not wages, so it should be reported under Miscellaneous - Other reportable income. 

Is my understanding correct?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.
