efiling an emigrant tax return

Brendajoycer · ‎May 01, 2024

Cant get the return to efile. Error says total of 52630 & 52670 does not equal spouses total net income on return.

That is because 52670 is his income while living outside the country and is not on the tax return.

Help Please!!

Field 52630 is the spouse's net income after tax payer's entry date;

Field 52670 is the spouse's net income before the taxpayer's entry date.

So the net income of the spouse reported on her tax return is necessarily equal of the sum of these 2 amounts.

52630 is the spouses income before they emigrated to US

52670 is the spouses US income after they left.

Is there an instruction page for emigrants? Obviously I have incorrectly entered something

for emigrant, you enter the date of departure, not the date of entry
