Thank you @pk ... your comment about double entry was enough of a hint to lead me to find the hitch. I had put my gross in the Form 2555 Interview when it asks for "income or payments". I should have put nothing ... since it is already entered in Sch SE. I guess "income or payments" is meant only for payments as an employee of a foreign company. The wording could be better ... much better ... but I suppose I am in rare area of TurboTax. Expats are strongly advised to avoid it, there is a TurboTax knock-off for Expats which handles this stuff much better ... but it is convenient since I have many years of returns in TurboTax.
Thanks again.
