But I was not self employed. I was legally employed with a Chinese work permit for many years and finished my contract in China this past September. I was living in China for multiple years and always was able to claim the Foreign Exclusion. I know this is not the case for the 2020 tax year, but I know that it is not self employment income because I was a legal employee of my Chinese employer and have also been advised from other Turbotax colleagues that this is not the case since I am performing duties for my Chinese employer.
