it depends. 

 

If your husband was an employee you can use Form W2 in TurboTax to report the information related to your husband's foreign income.  Fill in as many boxes as you have information for and leave the rest blank.   

 

If your husband was self-employed, he can report the income using Schedule C and deduct any ordinary and necessary expenses he had related to that income.
