Question

How to enter partial foreign earned income exclusion to enable contribution to an IRA

Hi,

I have about $105,000 of foreign (UK) income from 2025. I would like to exclude $98000 of it so that I can contribute $7000 to my IRA. I entered the total $105, 000foreign income in the income section, but I am not sure how to prevent it from excluding $7000. I saw this screen in the foreign income exclusion screen for wages adjustment. Is this where I enter $7000? I am using TT Deluxe desktop product on Windows.

Thanks in advance

You cannot make a partial foreign earned income exclusion. You must use the full amount of foreign income or none.
