Deductions & credits

@Anonymous_ , @astral101 , I think I have answered  this question earlier.  This is a case where the taxpayer's tax home is USA and  earns  "wages"  from Canadian entity as a remote worker.  This puts the  taxpayer in  messy situation because  the "tax-home" being US, and therefore   taxpayer is not eligible  for FEIE.  Taxpayer  must report the gross  income on Schedule-C and the net income  ( this is the income that is being taxed by both Canada and USA ) is then eligible for  foreign tax credit/ deduction.

Additionally tax payer is subject to SECA taxes, absent a SSA approved "certificate of  participation" from Canadian employer/SSA Equivalent.

 

Or is this a different issue and I am missing the point ?
