Revoking Foreign Earned Income Exclusion
I am using TurboTax desktop.
I have claimed the foreign earned income exclusion in the past and had foreign income for part of 2021, but would like to revoke my exclusion for that tax year.
From what I can determine, the IRS requires that I include a statement with my return formally revoking the exclusion.
It doesn't appear that TurboTax provides a way to generate such a statement for electronic filing. I have seen a community response that the TurboTax return must be printed and paper filed in this situation, with the manually generated revocation statement included.
My TurboTax return is 43 pages long, 20 of which are form 8949. I hate to think of the IRS keying this return in manually.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
