FEIE and 401k contributions (making under $112k a year) (alien.top)

If I’m filing FEIE but have been contributing to my 401k all year, is it still possible to claim FEIE? Would I just need to subtract the 401k contribs from my excluded income?

Also do most of you guys doing this forego 401k contribs entirely? I’ve heard this is the best strategy (for next time)

Thanks!

My CPA said I can not make Roth IRA contributions since when taking the FEIE I do not have any taxable income.

Not sure about the 401k but may be worth asking a professional
