@js733 ,
assuming that your situation is "self-employed " Foreign Earned Income exclusion. Yes you needed a Schedule-C and generally a Schedule-SE ( for the SECA taxes ), depending on the country your tax home is/was.
Since IRS has already contacted you and you have taken curative action, it is best to wait for the amended return to be processed. Recognizing the error ( because you entered the FEI on 2555 without creating a Schedule-C first ), of double income and taxation thereof, I would contact IRS once the processing is complete and seek suggestion whether to file another amended return and/or how to proceed.
If the amended return did not include the Schedules needed and just double the income, then I don't understand what took place here and/or how you entered the income. But I would still contact the IRS once the processing is complete --- because I think at this point you account is having human intervention.
Are you using a windows desktop version or on-line ? If on-line , I am not familiar with that product line and have to get somebody else to help you.
