How do i get the foreign wages to flow to form 1040 line 1h?

I'm entering the income under "Foreign Wages (Form 2555)", and ticking the box "Compensation not reported on W-2".

The wages still flow to form 1040 Ln 1a.

Just to clarify, I'm not asking about form 2555. just asking how to get it to appear on 1040 line 1h instead of 1a.

The forms instructions for Line 1h make no mention of foreign wages. Is there a reason you don't want it on 1a?

Why do you guys say it should go on line 1a? The Instructions specifically state that line 1a is for income in box 1 of a W-2, which does not apply.

Line 1h makes much more sense, and that is also where ProSeries puts foreign income.

I agree 1h would be a more appropriate line. In the absence of any official instructions, I'm fine with the program flowing the amount to 1a, particularly since there'll be no consequence and it'll cause no tax impact.

There are more important technical issues Intuit has yet to fix in their programming for international returns. I'm not about to spend time fighting Intuit for something insignificant like this.

Line 1a is where it'll go.

OK. Thanks. I guess it doesn't really matter. Form 1040 says that 1a get's only W-2 wages.

CCH software like Axcess and prosystem fx have the non W-2 wages flow to line 1h.

It really does not make any difference. Just wanted to make sure i'm not missing any tick box.
