I filled out the foreign income section in TurboTax to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and was successful. How can I confirm my 1040 includes Form 2555?

I see "Form 2555-Foreign Earned Inc/Housing Exl" on "Schedule 1 - Additional Income and Adjustments" Line 21, but not sure if this implies official completion of Form 2555. If anyone can help answer this, I'd be very grateful! Thank you.

Yes, if you see "Form 2555-Foreign Earned Inc/Housing Exl" on "Schedule 1 - Additional Income and Adjustments" Line 21 and the negative amount then this means you completed the Form 2555 successfully.

Thank you Dana. I will also file Form 2350 (Application for Extension of Time
To File U.S. Income Tax Return) on my own as I believe TurboTax does not support this Form. If I will not officially file my Federal taxes until then, is it fine that my Form 2555 will be extended with my 1040?
