Hello everyone,
Having the same exact issues filling out my taxes on H & R Block as I did a year ago and I can't remember what I did to correct it and have tried what the suggestions that were mentioned after I said I figured it out and it doesn't seem to work. Here is the same issue/question I have,
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help with an issue I am having trying to fill out my taxes and in particular filling out form 2555.
Here is the question,
Wages and Salaries
Since you want to claim the foreign earned income exclusion, tell us about any wage income you want to exclude. This can include:
Wages
Salaries
Bonuses
Commissions
So, I enter in my wages, which I have converted to US dollars and keep getting the following error issue message.
Issue 1 of 1 The excluded wages in the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555) topic can't be more than wages in the W-2 or Foreign Wages not on a W-2 topics. Review what you entered and make sure it's accurate.
I haven't worked in the US for a few years, so don't have a W-2. Didn't fill out any information on the W-2 form on their website as I don't have one. I even deleted the W-2 form bookmark. And yet I still get keep the same message. I have done 3 chats with someone from H and R and in the end they can't figure it out and say I need to get in touch with one of their tax specialists which will cost an aditional $39.
Can anyone figure out what the actual issue is and how I may correct it. I am not being asked to fill out any other forms. Any ideas.
I wish I could remember what I did last year, but can't remember and I have spend more than an hour on this issue trying everything I can think of and still can't work it out. Thank you.
