This is a US citizen MFJ no Dep, bonafide resident of Germany, with German Sick pay, income,  and Unemployment. All sources of income are German.  Usually,  I report his/her income in F2555 not F1116.

I enter the Sick Pay using what shows in the left menu "F2555 wages"  and do the same with the Unemployment,  I got a EFile error bc ProConnect prepare one F2555 for every income entry.  The system says "IRS wants one F2555 per taxpayer". 

Should I list all sources of income in one F2555 under Foreign wages L 1 " Wages, tips, other compensation" even though the F2555 has one Employer listed?

Thank you for your help.

I would for sick pay. But is Unemployment earned income? In the US it isn't.

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