@Mike414 , thank you very much for your detailed response. Nothing stands out from this . So I will have to simulate on my copy of Windows H&B and see why itis misbehaving. It will take a bit of time -- so probably sometime tomorrow morning I should be able to come back. You did not provide the country -- Should I assume that it is a country which has a Tax Treaty with the USA in effect ? How about Totalization agreement ?
Did I understand that your spouse is also with you and has Foreign Earned Income Exclusion ? If you have been abroad all year how did you end up with a W-2 ( as you seem to have ref'd ) --or is it for your wife ( implying she does not meet the same Physical Presence test period )?
So it looks ;like it is the 1116 that is having issues --- let me work on this . And yes it should have followed from 2555.
Except for these items, I think I have enough to simulate the situation.
