I am using Turbo Tax for tax planning.
I wanted to see how the foreign income is treated, so I put the following scenario:
Ordinary US income of $10,000 and foreign income of $4,000
I see that Turbo Tax calculates AGI as $6,000. I thought "foreign income exclusion" means that you don't pay US taxes on the foreign income. I did not expect that it will reduces the US income by the foreign income amount.
Is AGI becoming $6,000 correct?
