My family and I are US citizens living in India for past 7-8 years. I have been using Turbotax premier all these years to file my US tax return online. The software automatically decides that I should take Foreign income exclusion. I just read somewhere that when we take Foreign tax exclusion, we aren’t eligible for Child Tax credit. However if we take Foreign Tax Credit instead, we get the child tax credit. Why does has the software not give me the option to take Foreign Tax credit ?
