I am struggling to understand why the amount on line 44 is higher than what I calculate using the IRS tax table for 2015. Line 43 is $141,106, which calculates out to approximately $26,864 tax owed. But line 44 shows $33,631. Lines 47 through 63 are empty.
We are claiming the foreign income exclusion for a few months, but I do not understand how it affects my tax rate.
Could you please explain? Thanks
