Hi there, I'm desperate and in need of help with this situation. My situation is a bit more complicated as I married my husband in December 2024 on a K1 visa and am now having to report his income that was made last year in his home country. We are married filing jointly. I want to verify that TurboTax will allow for A) Form 1116 in order to get a tax credit on the tax he already paid on his income in Jersey (his country, a small island between France and UK). I was initially told to use form 2555 but since he moved here in September, it said I didn't qualify for form 2555 because he didn't pass the physical presence test (?). And, B) I need to verify that if I use Turbo Tax Deluxe, will it guide me through with the form 8962 and helping me with the alternative calculations for year of marriage. I have used 4 other tax programs, all of which have failed in the ACA alternative calculations - 2 of the 4 let me input the info and "allocate", however, the program is failing to calculate the proper repayment. According to government guidelines, my FPL is approximately 270% and I should only be repaying $1,000. However, they're still stating that I owe $1,900 and not taking the FPL into consideration. This is after supposedly allocating the amounts for just myself over 11 months out of the year.
I have missed the tax deadline due to these issues and I am truly panicking. Any advice would be really appreciated.
