Do I need to file a W2 for foreign income covered by the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion?

If you have a Form W-2 which includes income which you earned working outside of the U.S., yes - the wage information from the W-2 should be entered into TurboTax and included in your return.

If you have other foreign earned income not reported on a Form W-2, that additional income should also be included in your return, for determination of whether you qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign housing exclusion or deduction.

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ, "What are Forms 2555 and 2555-EZ used for?", for instructions on how to enter information in TurboTax about your foreign earned income:
