Foreign housing expenses, Chile missing from dropdown list.

There is an active investigation going on to find out why certain countries are left off the foreign housing lists. There is no ETA for the resolution at this time.

I am also unable to file my taxes until you add Philippines to the foreign housing expenses drop down list. There are a lot of missing countries. Would be great if we could get an ETA on a fix for this.

There is a maximum daily amount allowed for the foreign housing. Amounts in excess of this can’t be counted. Several countries/locations have amounts set higher than the standard daily amount (hence they are in the dropdown). For those not on the dropdown, the standard daily rate should apply. Hence the system needs to be changed to allow it to be left blank, or to add an option of OTHER so it can be calculated with the standard daily maximum amount.

The option to select "other" is now available. You can revisit the foreign housing exclusion section to finish your return.
