How do I delete foreign earned income off of my taxes I am working on now?

To remove Foreign Earned Income -

  1. Click on Federal 
  2. Click on Wages and Income  
  3. Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  4. Scroll down to Less Common Income
  5. On Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion, click on the start or update button.

Remove all the entries made once you reach the section. Also go to tax tools>tools>delete a form. Make sure that form 2555 is not in your list of forms after preforming the steps listed above. If the form is there, delete it.

@DaveF1006 

Hello, I have the same problem, so I followed your advice.

 

  1. Although I clicked "revisit" in the (Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion) that I'm trying to delete, there is no way to remove the amount I don't need.  So it looks like it is still a part of my income.
  2. I checked "tool," but I don't understand that which forms are related to the (Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion).  

I don't need this item because I found out that I should make 1099-R in stead.  The income is in a foreign country, but it's annuity and less than 10K is in my foreign bank account.  So I made a form 4852 in stead of 1099-R.  Can you tell me how to remove the (Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion)?

 

Thank you very much!
