I overpaid as I filed for an extension to make my valid tax year 330 days abroad for the mandatory insurance requirement. When I actually did my taxes, turbotax said I was required to pay none, as I filed for the FEIE. This exclusion probably doesnt apply to investment income does it? It appears turbotax did think it does. I would also like to note, while trying to figure out how to file freelance income, turbotax kept presenting business paperwork, (like c-ez, schedule sc, irc section 172 b 3, and investment forums ..form 2555, form 8949, schedule d) to which I just rushed through, as I found no way around this (the business forms). I just put down my real expenses, and really not in the green for 'business'. I kinda think I will have made taxes more difficult for next year though. Was what I paid in taxes, actually the self employment tax, is that exempt from the FEIE? Is there a specific way I can find a breakdown? I dont want to trigger an audit, as this was such a mess for me, and I dont trust myself in having done it correctly.
