Thank you Dave for your quick response! It would be great if you could help me with 3 additional questions.
1) You mentioned..."...then type in Maternity Leave from Japanese Employer and the amount."
As I received this money from the Japanese Government, did you mean that I should write Maternity Leave Allowance from Japanese Government (and not Employer)?
2) I will file this by mail and not e-file because TurboTax won't let me as I do not have US income. Do I need to submit documentary proof of my income and maternity leave allowance when I send it by mail? I have never done so in the past few years for my income and have never got in trouble...but wanted to make sure if I am doing it correctly.
3) Lastly, I followed your directions and inserted the maternity leave allowance I received from the Japanese government under Miscellaneous Income. My federal refund appears as $0. Does this mean I do not owe anything to IRS?
Thank you in advance.
