Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Self-employment income must be entered in the correct section of TurboTax first.  Only then will the self-employment tax be generated correctly.

 

To do this, log back into TurboTax.  Follow the steps in this link to enter your self-employment activity.

 

  1. Once you have done that, go back to the foreign earned income exclusion section under Wages & Income.  
  2. Select the section titled Less Common Income.  
  3. Proceed through the screens to ensure your self-employment income is still reported here. 
  4. Once you have done this, you should see the income exclusion but should also see the self-employment tax calculated.
