Deductions & credits

A green card holder working in a foreign embassy in the U.S. can use TurboTax Online to file their tax return. 

 

You can prepare online but will have to mail your return. As Tax Expert @ThomasM125 says, you will have to attach Form 8833. TurboTax does not support this form so you will have to prepare it yourself.

 

Follow the instructions provided by Tax Expert @DaveF1006 to enter income not on a Form W-2.

 

  1. Tap Federal in the left column
  2. Select Wages & Income
  3. Scroll down to Less Common Income
  4. Select Miscellaneous Income
  5. Select Other Reportable Income
  6. Say YES on “Any Other Taxable Income?” and enter as your description Wages from being an employee of a foreign government not subject to FICA taxes

Next enter the same amount as a negative amount in the same section. The description is Tax Treaty Exclusion
