If you are a US citizen working abroad and claiming the FEIE can you include yours and your employer's pension contributions along with your salary in the excluded amount?  or are you limited to using froeign tax credits or Treaty exclusion?

Looking at the treaty, pension contributions are deductible. P11D (BIK) would be added to the 2555(EZ)
