If you claimed the foreign earned income exclusion, housing exclusion, or housing deduction, add the amounts from Form 2555, lines 45 and 50, or Form 2555-EZ, line 18. If your dependent has a filing requirement, but you elect to report the dependent's income on Form 8814, include the dependent's MAGI in the household income by adding Form 8814, line 1b, and the smaller of Form 8814, line 4 or 5.
