I found the "general income" section for foreign tax but it doesn't offer a field for the amount of income tax paid

    @pdholden2 

    are you an expat living abroad ?  Which country ?

    are you employed  by a local entity  or self-employed ?

    When did you enter that country ?

    Is this your first year abroad ?

    Note  that  if you are abroad your filing date is  June 15/16th but the pay date is still April 15/16th.

    generally the best path is to use the Foreign Earned income exclusion.  So please answer  my questions and I will come back and help you -- yes ?
