Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Smilecloud17 , my personal favorite is the Home & Business desktop version. This  covers all the way to complicated returns  such as self-emplyoment / sole proprietor scenarios and also foreign earned income exclusion / foreign tax credit.  I like the desktop version because it allows me to see the forms  as these are being filled  and the underlying worksheets ( in the forms mode ) and everything stays on my machine for future usage and/or carryover to next year.

Yes you will need to file  form 1040 and form 2555 ( for qualifying  to exclude  foreign earned income.  Note that Bona-Fide Resident is only on approval by the IRS.  Most expats easily qualify  for Physical Presence Test ( 330 days abroad during any continuous test period of 12 months/365 days).  Also note that while Schedule-C would be used to report your self-employment income, you will use the Schedule-SE to compute and pay self-employment taxes   ( equivalent of FICA for wage earners ).

 

Does this answer  your query?   I have assumed here that you are a US citizen/Resident ( Green Card )
