Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you very much, I will file as a full year resident then. 

But I still have a couple of questions that I'm battling with: 

It is asking me if my mailing address was also my permanent home address as of December 31st 2019? That is when I was still abroad. I returned to the USA on the first week of January 2020. So, I should enter my foreign address there because I was physically there at that time, or should I just put my USA address in it to avoid confusion now that I'm fling as a full year resident?

Also: I earner 9 500 $ foreign income during 2019, so if I have understood correctly- I do not need to file this as it is below 12 200 $ (I'm single and under 65 years)?

Lastly: It is asking me if I have any foreign assets, such as a bank account. I've always had a bank account in my home country even while I have been living here in the USA for the past years because I decided to keep it open. I think last year I was not forced to upgrade my turbo tax into the Deluxe version because of this but now it's telling me that I need to upgrade into Deluxe because of my foreign assets. Do you think I really need to say I have foreign assets when I just have a normal bank account in my home country with very little money in there (less than 300 $) ? I don't have any savings, not even a saving account,  and I'm a very low income person (my income last year was less than 13 000 $ and I'm always barely scraping by)  .. It just feels unjust to have to pay for Turbo Tax service just for having a normal bank account in a foreign country that has hardly any money in it..? 

Thank you again very much for your help!!
