Form 2555
if you received income for a project done in the US for a Japanese company in 2019, and didn't travel to that country in that year, and did not receive a W2 or other tax form, how do you fill out form 2555??

You don't. Form 2555 applies only to income earned while outside of the United States.
Income that you earned while living and working in the US is not exculdable, and is taxable income to you.
You will report this as self-employment income subject to self-employment tax.
A tax form isn't required to enter income in this area of the tax software. You will simply enter it as Income in the self employment income and expenses section of TurboTax.
You can also deduct expenses related to this income. To deduct expenses requires an upgrade to Self-employed TurboTax if using TurboTax online, but an upgrade is not required if working in a program installed on your computer.
