Filing as an Expat

kelanas — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 18:56:40 GMT

I've been living overseas for almost five years and have filed taxes every year. I have always been able to file online with Turbo Tax, but this year it would not let me e-file. Nothing has changed for me. My salary is not much more than last year and is not enough to pay taxes on. I'm single and have no other deductions. I ended up printing, but to mail the papers is quite expensive from where I am. Looking for another solution.

What was the reason given by the TurboTax program for not being able to e-file?

There was a list of items that had a zero value. I think it was this:

Line 22 - Total income
Line 37 - Adjusted gross income
Line 44 - Tax
Line 55 - Total credits
Line 63 - Total tax
Line 74 - Total payments

Every year I've filed in the same exact way, so not sure why this year there was an issue.

When your return was rejected did you receive a message why the return was rejected or a rejection code? Have you checked Form 2555 to ensure that everything is properly entered? Post any additional information you have about the rejection for additional assistance.
