@kvinci , thank you for your response
1. TurboTax will ask for a few different dates --- for form 2555 it will ask for
(a) start of the test window -- in your particular case and based on your response -- 01/01/2024
(b) end of the test window -- in your case 12/31/2024
(c) when did you establish foreign tax home -- 06/06/2023
2. By including the full 2024 as the test period, it will include all your foreign earnings eligible for exclusion.
3. Note that your passive earnings (-- i.e. rental income ) is not part of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. For this passive income, you have to fill out a schedule-E for US purposes ( i.e. Tell TurboTax that you have rental income under business income tab, recognize the gross rental income, deduct allowable expenses , etc. include depreciation etc. per US rules), and then , if and only if Italy taxed this income, you have to fill out a form 1116 ( passive income category ) for redressing the double taxation by both Italy and US on the same income.
If you need more help on this ( FEIE ) or the rental income, please consider adding to this thread or PM me and I will happy to walk you through the preparation of a correct return.
Is there more I can do for you ?
