Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have looked at your tax file.  After I entered the information under "Foreign Account", the program generated a Form 8938.  Please make sure to update the program by following these steps:

  • If you are using the TurboTax CD/Download software program, open TurboTax and select "Check for Updates" from the "Online menu" near the top.
  • If you are using the online version, it's an automatic update when you sign in and out. 

Let's double-check the entries:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "foreign assets" and Enter
  • Select Jump to foreign assets
  • On screen, " Foreign Financial Assets", select Yes, I have foreign financial assets and No to living in foreign country
  • Next screen, "About the Amount of Your Foreign Financial Assets", select Yes to total value is more than $50,000 or 75,000
  • Follow prompt
  • Next screen, "Amounts Related to Foreign Financial Assets", enter your amounts
  • Follow prompts
  • Next screen, " Do You Have a Foreign Financial Account to Report?", select Yes
  • Follow prompts
  • On screen, " Do you Have any Other Foreign Financial assets to Report?" select No.
  • Follow prompts.
