Hi, I am confused by the same scenario. I was granted RSU's which have been vesting over 4 years and during that time I have worked for the company in Australia, NYC and now Los Angeles. I paid tax in Australia for the Australian taxed portion of the RSUs vesting in 2018 and that was communicated via an Australian Tax document but my USA W2 also lists that Australian portion of the RSUs as income.
I originally followed the method you noted in the response 1 year ago and I could understand that but following this new method suggested above has confused me.
In your note above "If this situation..." I go to the "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.." section and you mentioned I need to "indicate that you received foreign income on a W-2" which I select which then directs me to "go back and enter that income in the wages & income section" where my USA W2 is already listed. I wondered if I needed to enter my australian tax information as a new W2 but Australia doesn't issue W2's and that didn't make sense. Can you provide a bit more information regarding how and where this needs to be entered please.
