Deductions & credits
Answers to your questions below:
- Did you go through the "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion" topic in TurboTax after you completed the Schedule C? <Answer> Yes, I did
You have to go through that topic in order to exclude the foreign earned income. The exclusion will appear on Schedule 1 line 8d. Did you look at Schedule 1 to see if the exclusion is there?
<Answer> I did not. I will look at it again. What was clear is that the exclusion did NOT bring down the taxes after I entered it.
Are you using TurboTax Online or the desktop TurboTax software? Which edition are you using (Basic, Deluxe, etc.)? <Answer> TurboTax Basic Desktop - Mac version
Note: I have been using TurboTax for 20+ years. The past few, as I moved out of the US, I've been filing exactly the same way. This year, the software is NOT reducing the tax I owe. For some reason, it is forcing me to pay taxes as if I was living in the US.
Thank you
