@pk thank you, you have exactly described my situation, and I have already obtained the certificate of coverage from SSA. My remaining questions are:
- If I enter my gross Italian source income under the TurboTax Self-employment income and expenses -- Schedule-C -- rather than under Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion -- Form 2555 -- as I have done in past years, how do I indicate that the income tax on that gross income has already been paid in Italy? (**My italian employers do not issue a 1099 so I will also need to somehow explain where the income comes from without an employer TIN.)
- I believe that, in my 2022 filing, I did not pay the appropriate amount of FICA to the US for the Italian income, for the reason indicated above. How can I rectify this?
Thanks again!
