I am using Turbotax premier online. I need to file form 2555 for the foreign earned income exclusion but the system isn't offering it!

What can I do?

To enter your foreign earned income, type "foreign income" (without the quotes) in the Search box. Then click the link that says "Jump to foreign income." Proceed through the questions and enter your foreign earned income. After you enter the income and answer a few other questions, you will come to a screen that asks if you want to try to exclude your foreign earned income. Answer Yes and it will start asking you for the information needed to fill out Form 2555. I don't think it ever actually mentions Form 2555, but it will fill it out and include it in your tax return.
