I live and work outside of the US. How can I file my taxes accordingly

If you are going to use TurboTax online editions then you will need the Deluxe edition to report your foreign earned income.  A 2022 tax return can be e-filed using TurboTax from anywhere there is an internet connection.  The 2022 return can be e-filed at any time on or before October 16, 2023.

 

Also, to pay for the TurboTax account fees you will need a US credit card with a US billing address.

 

You report your foreign earned income on Form 2555.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for reporting foreign earned income - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/foreign-income/need-report-foreign-incom...

 

Go to this TurboTax website for information if you work and live outside the US - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/general/taxes-for-expats/L26keX1RV
