Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have excluded all the Foreign Earned Income from your tax return and there is no taxable income being reported on the tax return, then the tax return cannot be e-filed.  It will have to be printed and mailed.

However, you can include $1 of interest income so the return will have taxable income reported and then you will be able to e-file.  Report the interest income on a Form 1099-INT.  You can use any name for the payer of the interest and then enter $1 in box 1 of the form.

Enter 1099-int in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-int
