Cruise line tax help. Do I need to check the foreign income box if my W-2 shows it came form a company in Florida and their was in come tax taken out? NO fica or SSA though.

If the income was earned in a foreign country then it is foreign earned income and you should check the box that says so.  In your case the foreign income was reported on a W2 so that makes your life a little easier.  When you come to this screen -

 

 

You'll check the box for 'Worked Outside the US' and then the system will walk you through whether or not you qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion.
