Deductions & credits

Thanks Minh. Clarification it is not retirement money I received. It was early severance to leave the company, therefore it applies unto the 108,000 for foreign income exclusion. The remainder of the severance, I have calculated the percentage of taxes I payed to the Japan govt. However, the step by step process is confusing on turbo tax. Thanks for the link, I went through it several times but just very confusing. So will try again.

Appreciate it.
