I file my last tax return with Turbo Tax and I just received a letter from IRS saying that my return is incomplete. They ask me for schedule which is for self employed when I am just a employee in a big company.
Working and living in France makes it difficult to communicate with IRS or Turbo Tax; I don't know what to do to fix this mistake. I couldn't find a way to speak with anyone at Turbo Tax.
I must say that for a first time filing with Turbo Tax I am very disappointed.
Thank you for your help.

If the IRS has sent you a notice asking for a self-employed schedule (Schedule C), this indicates that the way your income was reported on your return suggested that it was self-employment income.
You should respond to the IRS notice as soon as possible to explain that your income was wages.
To report foreign wages in TurboTax:
For more information on the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, see Foreign Earned Exclusion on the IRS website.

Thank you very much for your help! I am going to reply to the IRS right away hoping that they won't ask me to file all over again.
Thank you. Carole
