Yes, you can. The foreign earned income exclusion is voluntary.
If you did not receive a W-2 then you can enter your foreign earned income by following the instructions below:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click "Take Me To My Return"
- Click "Federal" from the left side of your screen
- Scroll down to “Less Common Income” and click "Show more"
- Scroll down to “Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion” and click “Start”
- Choose “A statement from my foreign employer (could be cash)” and click “Continue”.
- TurboTax will walk you through the questions.
If you do not want to use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion then answer "Neither of us" to the question "Whose Foreign Income Would You Like to Try and Exclude?".
