Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Enter 0 (zero) for all of your parents AGI and income since they have no US income.   Enter "555-55-5555" for the SSN so that TurboTax will not error out.   You CANNOT e-fie that way, so print and white out the 555-555-5555 SSN and write "FOREIGN CIT" in its place.

 

(Some believe that the question that asks if you have a parent that is alive, it is referring to a parent that is a US tax payer, so it is okay to say no if the parents are foreign  - I do not subscribe to or recommend  that view.)
