Form 2555

[Greta]

Does deducting abroad income via Form 2555 preclude client from Form 8880 credit?

[itonewbie]

No but eligible will be impacted if the AGI adjusted for §911 puts your client over the threshold.

I apologize for my ignorance, how do I find Section 911 in irs.gov? Clients' MFJ line 8b is $36,424, and there are no other deductions except Form 2555, yet Form 8880 is denying credit because of AGI being over the $64K limit.

F.2555 is for exclusions allowed under §911.  My response was based on §25B(e).

[itonewbie]

It's disallowed because his AGI, including FEIE, is over the threshold.
