joanmcq Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm trying to enter the wages for the W-2 Data line 1 on form 2555. there is no bunny hop as to where the data comes from and it is a white calculated box. Got any ideas how to get the amounts in there? this is a hard enough return without having to try and figure out the program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I entered wages (box 1 only as there were no withholdings) in the regular W-2 screen for a client that lives & works in Hong Kong. He only received a document with gross wages stated in Hong Kong dollars (which he converted for me). I e-filed this return with no problems.

greggea Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Try using the regular W-2 input. At the top there is a box "Special type (wages)" where there is a drop down menu. Select the option for: To Form 2555 - qualified foreign exclusion. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
