joanmcq Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ok, now I'm trying to input foreign employer info. I have the FECWKST open, but the info doesn't seem to transfer to the 2555, nor can I find a place to enter it. I'm about to chuck the election to file joint and just have them file separate since he only became a resident alien in June. AAARRRRRGGGGH!!! And I still have a bunch of Schedule C clients to do...(but at least no biz returns). I've also got an OR return to struggle with. It seems OR allows a deduction for foreign tax paid regardless of whether you took a foreign tax credit or deduction on the federal. Is this allowed if you didn't take the credit because of the exclusion? reading the info on the OR website leads me to think its ok...

greggea Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Go to Line 7 on the 1040. Click on it. Then click on Line 7 - Wages. If you filled out the FECWKST the amount should be on Non-W2 Wages line 5. Check the box to carry the amount to the 2555. Hope that helps.
