I am now a UK resident (past 2 years) is it possible to use turbo tax to file my 2016 taxes?

[david_mcdougall]

I used a 3rd party company for 2015. Also our total family earnings are less than the foreign income exclusion and will therefore owe no tax in the US

Are you a US citizen or greencard holder ?  If not, how long have you been staying in US ?

[david_mcdougall]

My wife and I are both US citizens but also hold British citizenship. We lived in the US from 1995 until late 2014. My wife is employed by a UK employer and I am an independent contractor. We also have rental properties here in the UK.
