Deductions & credits

Let's double-check the entries below.  The amount should show on line 8 of Schedule 1 and Form 1040.

 

Without a tax document like a Form W-2, you would enter your foreign income as follows:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • After sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in foreign income and Enter 
  • Select Jump to foreign income 
  • Follow prompts

After you enter the information, if you qualify for a foreign earned income exclusion, the program will prompt you to fill out a Form 2555 Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.  To qualify, you have to live outside the United States for at least 330 days during 12 consecutive months.  For more information, please see Foreign income and exclusion and Extension
