Im confused

[dragonjapan]

So it says I can’t electronically file. But in the beginning where it shows for w-2  am I supposed to enter the foreign wages there too or just in one area? I wish there was a step by step guide. I live in Japan and married to a Japanese national

If you received a W-2 form and don't want to apply for an exclusion of foreign income, then you should enter it only where you normally enter a W-2 form. Otherwise you need to work through the Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion section to see if you can exclude all or a portion of the foreign income from taxation after you enter the W-2 in the normal section.

If you did not receive a W-2 form, then you need to enter your foreign income only in the Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion section.
