How do I enter income from a foreign employer. I don't have w2
the easiest for me has been to --> under personal income tab, select "I will do on my own" and then from the from drop down list of incomes, near the bottom, "other not so common...". In this block find " Foreign earned income and exclusion..." then select the blue enter/ edit button. This will then walk you through all that is required for this type of income and will fill out the forms 2555 ( checking for whether you qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion ) and, depending on your situation and selection, form 1116 ( Foreign Tax Credit). When all done you should see your foreign wages show up on line 7 of Form 1040 and the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion amount as a NEGATIVE number on line 21 of the same 1040 -- with a note . Hope this helps
