In form 2555 general info, I need the employer and employee addresses. In foreign wages (2555), I need to enter the same info. Should it be enter only in once place? How do you deal with this? Thanks.

Foreign Wages should only need to be entered in Foreign Income Exclusion (2555). If they happen to work for the same company in the US for US wages, then it would need to be duplicated. Lacerte has "tables" that remember employer data and that speeds duplicate entries in various clients and various input sections. Maybe you are asking that PCT create an editable data table for you to use.

I think you do need to enter twice.

For the 2555, this is so it shows on the form.

For the wages, it's needed just like it is for any other wages.

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