Deductions & credits

Hi @pk Thanks for your interest in someone losing their mind ðŸ˜€

I am not using the CD version, I am using the online version so perhaps you can't help.

I am resident in Mali, I earned some money self-employed, gross $26,827 expenses $7445, qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Get TurboTax to do the 2555 is a feat, I found online that you have a type a certain phrase in the search bar and click on the link that comes up ... but it worked and Sch 1, C,  SE, and 2555 are perfect. I didn't pay foreign taxes so I don't have a Form 2116.

 

It seems self-evident that foreign self-employment income must go on line 8, not 1h, because Sch 1 deducts the foreign earned income credit. I should have no income tax liability with the FEIE but TurboTax wants to pay taxes on $26,827 on line 1h and also adds income from Sch 1 with FEIE taken into account.
