There is a workaround for the missing "All Other Counties".

If you will choose "Angola-All other" (or any "X-All other" where X is the name of a country in the list), then the $31,770 amount will appear on line 29b, and if you are eligible, you will get your housing exclusion.

The update for "All Other Countries" has been made to both the Online and CD/download products. Please update your CD/download software (click on Online top left and then check for updates).

Note that the entry is called "All other countries not listed", and it is found at the very end of the second country list (M-Z).
