Deductions & credits

No, you don't need to report your transfer to another Foreign Bank as a 'deduction'.

 

As @FangxiaL suggests above, just enter the 'Maximum Account Value in 2021'  for each of your foreign accounts; the original one and the new one that you transferred funds into.

 

If you had more than $10,000 as a Maximum Balance in either of your accounts, you do not need to file a Form 8938 "Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets", which TurboTax handles. 

 

However, you would need to file a FinCENForm 114, which is not handled by TurboTax. Click here to file FinCENForm 114: https://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/main.html

 

File your Form 1040 as directed and file the FinCENForm 114 from the above-attached link.   Also, see this for reference: Comparison of Form 8938 and FBAR Requirements.
