I am trying to e file with a 2555 form. It says I cannot e file and is using a 1040 form. I have lived in a foreign country for over 330 days. How can I e file?

Form 2555 is part of Form 1040. You will file both to report your income and claim the foreign income exclusion.

You can e-file a tax return that includes Form 2555 through TurboTax. If you have received a message that you cannot e-file, it is for a different reason.

If you can't determine the reason and need to file by mail, here is the address:
