I am honestly pretty freaking annoyed right now with this whole thing. I was unaware something like this even existed and today I go to file my taxes and on a whim I google if you can do this and from what I have read my husband qualifies but turbo tax does not seem to want to help me with that in the software. My husband went to Afghanistan in march of 2020 as a contractor for a company who supports the US Armed Forces, and he was there up until we pulled out last yr, save for like 2 months when he came home to visit and the company did a horrible crap job of getting him back there when they should have. He was home from oct 2020 to the week before thanksgiving in 2020. That is likely past that 330 day mark thing and all of his income was listed in box 1 and he bought some meals there and other things he needed and we did not exactly track that stuff because we did not know to so how the heck are we even supposed to fill in the thing that they show you and why does it not let you enter whatever amount you can to exclude. He was not reimbursed for any of it either.
