Where did you enter it. Did you mark it as foreign employer?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

It does not flow to Form 1040 line 1 H, it is foreign earned income ( foreign payroll of US citizen ) who does not want to claim foreign income exclusion ( Form 2555)

It is flowing to Box 1a on 1040 which is incorrect since it is not on W2 and it is Foreign Earned Wage

So this might be close enough if the return comes out correctly.

But I'd go back over the "W-2" input again.

See if the section about entering wages from a Canadian T4 in this link helps.
