Why would you show that on the form?  If she doesn't qualify, F.2555 would not even be filed.

Lacerte doesn't calculate FEIE in the event the taxpayer fails PPT unless you have made entries to indicate that the taxpayer qualifies for BFR.  Note, however, PPT does not only count current year days but days in any consecutive 12-month period.  So, not having enough days in the current year doesn't mean that the individual is not eligible.
