Get your taxes done using TurboTax
For the Farm income, I would not recommend filing a Schedule C, but instead use Schedule F. You report Farm income by going to income and then Rentals, Royalties, and Farm if using "Turbo Tax" online.
Generally, Indian GST (Goods and Services Tax) is not deductible as a business expense on a U.S. tax return. This is because GST is considered a foreign value added tax, and the U.S. tax system typically does not allow deductions for foreign taxes paid if it is a value added tax. If you file a Indian Tax Return (ITR) you may be able to claim a credit.
For the purposes of filing FEIE, all amounts are entered as gross income. You do not enter business expenses in this section. instead, these are entered in the Self-Employment and Farm income sections in your return. Instead it asks for deductions and exclusions related to foreign housing.
