Foreign Income

Hi,

I reported my payment from a foreign employer in Foreign Income but then I saw that Turbo tax included it in "1 Wages, salaries, tips, etc. Attach Form(s) W-2". I don't know if it is ok or an error and I worry because I don't have a Form W-2. What should I do?

No, this is not an error. Line 1 on the 1040 has all your earned income (wages, etc.), both foreign and domestic.

If you qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion, the exclusion will be backed out on line 8 of Schedule 1 (1040).
