I completed the foreign earned income section in TT. It does not reflect that I have completed it. trying to complete Foreign Tax credit section TT directs me to FEI?

TT directs me to go back and list the tax paid to foreign country in "Wages and Income" FEI...I have gone back through it three times and still not closing out to allow me to proceed into the Foreign tax credit section of TT?

Do you qualify for the exclusion?  Did you go all the way to the end of the section?  Please provide more information.

 

If you received a W-2 or you have foreign self-employment income, you must enter them in TurboTax before you start the foreign earned income exclusion section.  Only if you received a statement from a foreign employer should you enter that directly in the foreign earned income exclusion section.

 

If you received a US W-2, enter it as you would any W-2 and on the next screen check the box that you earned the income or some of the income outside the US
