we have 100% foreign income, from employment income only and make below the threshold to owe any US taxes
Best answer by DaveF1006

It is rejecting because there is no taxable income to report. Try adding $100 interest in your return to see if you can file your return. This won't impact your return but should report your foreign income and exclusion in Schedule 1 of your return.

 

  • Go to federal
  • Wages and Income
  • Investment and Savings
  • Interest on 1099-INT

Let us know if you are able to file now.

To clarify, where are you reporting your foreign income? Is the entire amount excluded?
