@8extra , for purposes of form 2555 ( and generally the Physical Presence Test ), TurboTax is looking for the number of days you spent away from your Tax Home country --- its general interest is in the days spent in the USA ( including flying over US landmass.. It does this for two purposes :
1. to determine if you meet the 330 full ( 24 hour ) days spent away from the US and generally in your tax-home country It is not interested in days spent in other Non-US countries. Of course there are ends, ifs and buts in this.
2. It is trying to allocate your earnings that could be attributable to time spent in the USA on business for purposes of determining the Foreign Earned Income excludable.
Does this help ?
