@Cynthiad66 I followed your instructions to attempt to capture the SEHI deduction, but an unintended result is that a self-employment tax is generated by the program. This is a foreign GmbH and I pay all social insurance due in the country of residence, so I do not also owe self-employment tax in the States. In my view, I should be able to follow the instructions of my CPA based in the States, which are: 1) file the prepared Form 5471 for the business, 2) Claim the foreign tax credit on Form 1116; 3) Declare the residual profit as Additional Income on Schedule 1. I just want to take the SEHI as well since I am self-employed and pay out of pocket for health insurance for every family member. Why won't the program allow me to enter it on Schedule 1, Line 17? That is the simple way to do what should be done.
