I have had quite a few business trips to New York this year, and am taking off tomorrow for another one.
The instructions for line 12 on the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion are pretty clear that I cannot exclude any income earned while I was in the US even if I am a UK resident employed and paid by a UK company etc. etc.
I'm just trying to figure out what I could potentially owe here (possibly nothing if it is still below the standard deduction). However if I do owe, what is the best course of action? I have gotten by pretty easily so far just filling out the FEIE, but if I do owe, can I offset the tax I've already paid on this money? Do I just fill in form 1116? Can I file this with the FEIE or can I not use them both? It might be easier to just get my company to compensate me for what I owe.
