There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.  You cannot claim the (up to) $1000 refundable credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.   But, if you are a student, over age 23, and are not claimed as a dependent by someone else (e.g. your parent) you may be eligible for the up to $1000 refundable American Opportunity (tuition) Credit. That credit is not dependent on having either kids or earned income. You must be at least a half time undergraduate student. There's even a loop hole available to claim the credit, if you are on scholarship.    

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   Tax returns for tax years 2022 and 2023 have to be printed, signed, dated and mail to the IRS, they cannot be e-filed.

1. You probably can't e-file.     As a US citizen, you are required to file a US tax return no matter where you live in the world.  You have the option of filing jointly with your spouse, but to do this, you must elect to treat your spouse as a US person for taxes.  That means their income is reported and taxed on your return (but you will get an offsetting credit if they also pay tax in their home country).  To file jointly, you would have to file by mail and include an application for an ITIN, international tax ID number.  (If your spouse already has a valid ITIN, and you file jointly, you can probably e-file.)   Or, you can file married filing separately and only report your income.  To file MFS, you write "NRA" in the box for your spouse's name under Filing status, and you leave your spouse's SSN blank.  In the past, you could not e-file this way, I don't know if that is a Turbotax rule or an IRS rule, and I don't know if it will change for the 2025 season.   You should probably plan to file by mail, but wait and see if the program handles this situation differently.   2. Yes, you can deduct medical costs for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents, even if provided overseas.  But, only procedures and drugs that are legal in the US.  For example, if your child receives a medication that is approved in the country where you are living but is not approved by the FDA for use in the US, that is not deductible.   3. The child care credit is not allowed if you file as married filing separately, by law.   If you file as married filing jointly, the credit is allowed.  You must write “LAFCP” (Living Abroad Foreign Care Provider) in the space for the provider's SSN.  You probably can't e-file without a real SSN, so this again would mean filing by mail. 

The tax code for reporting gifts or inheritances from a foreign person in an amount greater than $100,000 has not changed. The amount received by a US person from a nonresident alien has to be reported on a Form 3520 if the amount received is greater than $100,000.
