I don't have paid account for live help. I thought someone from the community can point on someplace in pub 54 or instruction 2555 where this "magic" explained.
Also, I have two colleagues who faced the same issue. They just paid this lower tax on "excluded" foreign income. One of these two calculated manually and didn't add such taxation and received notice from the IRS that they updated the calculation holding additional tax on "excluded" foreign income.
Turbotax/efile calculator seems like know why it should be like that. I am trying few days to get support from efile team, but they said the same thing I am reading here.
