Get your taxes done using TurboTax

So I entered my only income on form 1040. I stated it was cash from a foreing employer and on the next step I entered my total income on the "Foreing earned income" box. Now I know that the foreing income exclusion cut line is way above my total income, which means I shouldn't pay taxes for it. I have absolutely no other income from 2019.
I hope this answers what you asked me.
Since all of your foreign earned income was excluded from being taxed, you have no taxable income on the tax return, so the tax return cannot be e-filed.
To get around this problem just add $1 of interest income. On the Form 1099-INT enter any name for Received from: and enter $1 in box 1.
Enter 1099-int in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 1099-int
