I live and work in Switzerland and am a US citizen so also file US taxes and need to take the foreign earned income credit. My Swiss pay statement includes wages and RSU's earned while abroad. My US W2 included only the RSU income earned while in the US. The US W2 also includes the Swiss RSU income. Thus the Swiss RSU income is reported twice. For example, if the W2 showed income of $400 and $150 of that is from Swiss RSU's then the $150 is also reported on the Swiss wage statement. I paid taxes in Switzerland on the $150. So then line 1 of the 1040 shows $400 of income. Line H shows $150. I really only have $400 total income but line 1z shows $550 of income. If I reduce the Line H by $150, but paid tax on it and will take the foreign earned income credit then it isn't allowed because I don't show foreign income. I really need to reduce the W2 value by the Swiss income earned somehow. How is this accomplished in Turbotax? Thanks for your help!
