Deductions & credits

Yes, "other" is fine for the country for purposes of the housing exclusion and it will not raise any red flags at all.  "Other" lets the IRS know that the default amount ($98.63 per day in 2023) is the limit on these expenses.  

Your suggestion that we include additional detail here is a good one (as well as moving the "Other" so that it's more obvious).

You're not expected to know things like the difference in the housing exclusion limits and we'll do what we can to get your suggestion where it needs to be so that this area causes less confusion next year!  

Thank you for the suggestion.
