How do I file? I earned all of my income in Japan, so I only have a Japanese form instead of a W-2 form.

You'll be able to select "A statement form my foreign employer". If you're a U.S. citizen or resident, you'll need to report all of your income, whether it was earned in the U.S. or abroad.

 

Here's how to enter your foreign income:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return. 
  2. Search for foreign income.
  3. Select the Jump to link in the search results.
  4. Answer Yes to Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States? and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you lived and worked in a foreign country, you might qualify for the foreign income exclusion. We'll ask questions to see if you quality after you've entered your foreign income.
