The same place you put wages from a US employer. Look for the input to indicate foreign employer.

There is a search box with a magnifier in it. Search for "foreign wages" and VOILA! the first hit should be what you want. Foreign Wages (2555)

Hi

I did that and now EIC is giving me a huge refund. I am not sure that is correct.

Does one qualify for EIC if they worked and lived overseas?

Thanks

Try googling your exact phrase:

Does one qualify for EIC if they worked and lived overseas

Because I did, and got great results. Example:

Watch the dates on articles, to make sure it's recent.
