I'm a US Citizen who moved my family to Costa Rica at the end of 2023. For years I've used Turbotax and I'm accustomed to the system. For 2024 I meet the requirements for FEIE, and I'm getting ready to file my return this week (June 16, using the automatic 2-month extension). I submitted any tax due by April 15th, so there should be no problem there. Now I want to electronically file my return, my only question is HOW? I want to finish my return and submit it like I always did, but this time I want to declare to the IRS that henceforth I am living overseas with a Tax Abode overseas. I also want to take advantage of the automatic 2-month extension which should apply to me. What forms, or statements do I upload with my Turbotax return? How do I use the software to identify this information to the IRS? I'd really like to avoid scrapping my whole return and hiring a foreign accountant, but I don't see any clear way to do it in the software and the help files have informed me of little.
