Deductions & credits
You will enter the 12 month qualifying period during the interview if you elect to exclude your foreign earned income.
Here's how to add—or remove—a Form 2555 or 2555-EZ from your return:
- Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.
- Do a search for foreign income, and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
- Continue through the foreign income section until you reach the screen Would You Like to Try and Exclude Your Foreign Earned Income? (if single), or Whose Foreign Income Would You Like to Try and Exclude? (if married). Answer Yes (to add a 2555 or 2555-EZ—we'll figure out which one you need) or No (to remove it), select Continue, and follow any on-screen instructions.
Tip: The -T or -S suffix after the 2555 stands for taxpayer or spouse, respectively.
