Deductions & credits

@tuck0066  please tell me a little bit more  about the situation ;

Need approx. figures  for  Foreign gross income ( before exclusion  ), gross US sourced income, the country that is your tax home, did you participate in local Social Security equivalent ?

 

Note that generally and only for  tax liability computation, your tax is calculated based on your world income without regard to  exclusion.  Then from this tax liability ( world income ),  the allocated tax on  excluded income is subtracted, giving you the final  US tax amount.  Thus there may be some tax ( because of higher tax bracket caused  by  excluded income).

 

I will circle back once I hear from you .
