Have you gone through the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) interview? Once you answer a few questions about your residence and foreign income, TurboTax will ask you if you want to exclude the income. If you select YES, TurboTax will prepare Form 2555 instead of Form 1116. When you reach the screen Do You Want the Deduction or the Credit? select the deduction.
How to add or remove a Form 2555 or 2555-EZ - Use these instructions to select the deduction and to use Form 2555.
Do I need to report foreign income? If you lived and worked in a foreign country, you might qualify for the foreign income exclusion. We'll ask questions to see if you qualify after you've entered your foreign income. Follow the steps to Add Form 2555.
