Why is Saudi Arabia not an option on the Enter Location Information for Foreign Housing Expenses? I used turbo for many years and it is always there.

@pk may know the answer. You can also contact Support.

 

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

@mya5112  on line 28 of form 2555 part 3 , the entry box does list countries  A-L and M-Z -- in each drop down list you can also select  "all other countries not listed ".   Also note that on instructions for  form 2555  Pages 6 through 11 covers a list of city/ country with appropriate limit on housing expenses  ( daily and yearly ). Saudi Arabia is not listed. Also  page 4 of the same instruction ( ref'd above ) asks one to "leave empty"  line 29a, if the city/ country is not listed in the table ref'd above ( page 6 through 11 ) i.e. in such cases the default limit of 16% of  of 112,000 -- for 2022 -- would apply.

As far as I can tell TurboTax  ( H & B , downloaded windows , latest updates ) is computing correctly at least for the scenarios I have tried.

 

Does this help  solve your predicament ?

Is there more I can do for you ?

Thanks for the reply.

Saudi Arabia used to be in all previoous years Turboxtax. No reason it is not there in 2022 release except that it is a bug that needs to be fixed. It should be a straight forward issue and I would not want to make changes to my form manually or choose other options.

Thanks for the reply. I did send them a note. I am just surprised that TurboTax has their contact info & how to reach them online (like chatting) so hidden which does not show good customer service.
