Question

How do I report errors in the way TurboTax fills out form 2555 foreign earned income. I think nobody at TurboTax has tested it.

Form 2555

 

12 b If “Yes,” who and for what period?  There are several choices but not Spouse and Children.

In 17 Enter your principal country of employment during your tax year. Netherlands show up as an error in final review.

In 18 the text generated Physically present in a foreign country or countries for the entire 12 month period  Shows up as an error in the final review.

Generally there is no explanation on how the amount are calculated.

A minor point is the Social Security Number for the spouse in 1040. I have to correct the PDF and enter Non-Resident Alien.
