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
