I did what you mentioned where I compared to the 2 forms. Lets say I earned X$ from my long term capital gains this year. My foreign earned income was Y$. I qualified for this amount to be excluded. I see that the amount is first added as income and then subtracted after being excluded. But for reason, while calculating the tax amount owed it subtracts Y$ from the lower bracket amount leading the taxed amount effectively being X+Y. Can you tell me where I'm going wrong here? I was not self-employed.
