Well, I stand corrected. I hadn't checked the online form because I wasn't ready to do an amended return yet. I just looked at the final 1040SR online. I started an amended return just so I could look at the forms and found the "Lived abroad" question you mentioned earlier. You were right, I had missed the box for No for my wife. Why would it default to yes???? and why would I have missed it???
Anyways, I clicked it and it made a $3,000 difference in the amount of tax I owe now to what I filed on the TT calculation! I haven't gone through the whole amendment process form yet. The IRS site said I only owed $418, but now I am totally confused. I will have to wait and see what the IRS says in the letter they said they will send on May 2. Hopefully, I will only owe the $418. Jeez. Not a user friendly experience. Thanks for the insight.
