Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Would you recommend the full service for Canadian expats? All of the FAQ's are directed toward US citizens.

I would like to use the full service because I don't feel the DIY is catered to expats, but I'm not sure if the full-service option is suited for me.

Are you a U.S. resident alien? If you are not a U.S. citizen or a resident alien you cannot use TurboTax. To use TurboTax Live Full Service you have to have been a resident alien for the entire year, and you must not have filed Form 1040-NR last year (2021).


A resident alien is treated the same as a citizen as far as your tax return is concerned, so if you were a resident alien for the entire year you could try starting your tax return with the regular TurboTax Online, and upgrade to Live Full Service if you have trouble.
