You report your foreign earned income using Form 2555 on your US tax return.  This form is supported using the Deluxe or Premier online editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

Any of the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions can be used for the foreign income - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the Form 2555 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/forms-2555-2555-ez-used/L1F6ub...

I see. Form 2555 is for federal tax filing. How about state? My wife is still a CA resident. I need to file as the part-year resident. Does Deluxe or Premier CA version cover 540-NR and schedule CA 540-NR?

Thanks!

The California state program in TurboTax supports both the Form 540-NR and the schedule CA 540-NR.  It is not dependent upon which TurboTax program is being used, Deluxe or Premium.
