Deductions & credits

Thank you for the answer - this helps some.
Based on your answer and additional research in the instructions to the respective forms, it seems that there is a mismatch created by TurboTax. It filled out Form 2555 Line 45 with no parentheses.

I am also not quite sure, yet, how TurboTax comes up with the numbers in Schedule 1, line 21 - I'll still have to research what else is added/subtracted. Do you happen to have a screen shot of this as well?

However, I would have expected TurboTax to be capable of doing all this, if it offers to enter foreign income. Unless there is a trick to it that I haven't discovered, this is disappointing. Especially since I only found out that it does not work after paying for it.
