Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Rmunsee  thank you for your answers to my questions.

 If your W-2 covers the whole amount spent by the employer i.e.  includes the housing assistance, then just show the W-2 amount as your total remuneration and  not show the housing .

Have you been in S Korea long enough to qualify for the  Physical Presence Test ?  It is only then  that you can exclude  the amount.  Note that the exclusion is  generally for the purposes  of avoiding double taxation -- if S. Korea is not taxing the amount  then  this amount may not be excludable.

 

Need to do some research  on the subject.
