Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@shanesnh , adding to my reply above, I have simulated your situation on my windows download / CD version of Home & Business and below are what I found:
(a) as mentioned above the lack of a numeric TIN fails TIN check ( thus NRA would necessitate "file by mail ". So my statements above stand.
(b) Foreign Unemployment benefits should be entered as unemployment benefit ( shown on line 7 of S chedule-1 ). The method proposed by @rjs in an earlier response achieves the correct result but does not correspond to IRS dictum/suggestion on Pub 525 ( taxable and Non-Taxable incomes ). Also the source of the "unemployment benefit may make it fully or partially taxable income. However what I gather from a quick reading of Korean Unemployment grant scheme appear to be a benefit based on age/employment and contribution to Korean "Social Security" equivalent. TurboTax accepts this entry -- you just have to pretend that this is from a state ( and leaving the state name blank) . It passes all the checks.
Is there more I can do for you ?
