Deductions & credits

Thank you for your answer and advice. I did not see your answer on time but I was able to finish my tax returns, which were filed and accepted.

I have done something similar to what you are saying: entered my Social Security benefits from Poland (Polish SSb) to other income/miscellaneous with a clear annotation what it is. Turbotax qualified my foreign earned income for the foreign income exclusion, reported my SSb on the Schedule 1, line 8z (Other income). All this led into 0 taxes for 2024. I will keep investigating what to do next year to make it "more right."

What I was thinking of doing is to use form 2555 for my earned foreign income and form 1116 for my Polish SSb. But it Iooks like it is not possible with Turbotax.

Where is it stated that if I "pay taxes on this income in Poland according to Polish law, and you do not pay taxes on this income in the US"? It would be great to know for the next year.

Thanks again.
