keeping his shirt on?

Your client made that kind of money? Did he/she get to keep his clothes on?

Really, that foreign income goes on Line 7 if he was not paid by a US agency, as far as I know. (And I'm not exactly an Oracle of Knowledge)

I had a couple of new clients with the same thing. One was there over a year and used 2555 for the exclusion. The other was reported on Line 7 wages. Taxwise links to a foreign employer.

I have a baseball player coming in next week with your same scenario. I'll watch for more answers to emerge on this link.

Thanks for asking.
