All foreign income must be reported on your tax return if you're a US citizen or resident. You are required to report all of your income, whether it was earned in the US or abroad.
If you lived and worked in a foreign country, you might qualify for the foreign income exclusion. TurboTax asks questions to see if you qualify for this exclusion.
