Have you looked at your return to see why the tax is different? AMT or limited credit, etc? Please review your exemptions, credits, and tax calculations.

Online,

  2. Tools
  3. View Tax Summary
  4. On the left side, click Preview my 1040

A TurboTax Tax Expert can look at your return and explain the calculations. It's not possible to tell you what your tax liability should be with only your filing status and taxable income, especially since you have a foreign earned income exclusion.

 

To contact TurboTax: What is the TurboTax phone number?

 

To claim the foreign tax credit:

  1. Type "foreign tax credit" in Search in the upper right
  2. Select "Jump to foreign tax credit"
  3. Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction

For more help: Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction for 2020?
