When completed the date present in the USA I have noticed 2 issues:

1) the number of days on business cannot be left 0. If I am travelling there for personal reasons this should be 0 but the turbo tax online requires a minimum value of 1.

2) After entering all the dates of 8-10 different trips. When I got to review the the printable tax return version it only records the first 4 trips and the others are missing. Why are the other trips missing?

Instead of a 0 just leave the number of days on business entry blank. This will resolve the issue of no days on business. The entry of the 1 can potentially pro-rate the exlcusion.

The additional visit says are likely on a numbered add-on Schedule at the end of the tax return. Check those final pages to see if you see a continuation page there.

Thank you for the advice on the business days. leaving it blank worked out.

For other item on bona fide presence. I entered all the dates again when I removed the business days above. When went in only 4 trips showed, the other had been removed. I entered it again and it kept 8 of them went I went to print but trip 9 through 11 were removed. I think also if I go into that section again only 4 may show up. I have seen this issue in years past as well.
