Can turbo tax help me with the streamlined amnesty program ?

[judebrew]

26 year old US citizen living in Denmark. Never filed tax return. Can turbo tax help me file the streamlined amnesty procedure?

You need to file the last 3 years of tax returns and the last 6 years for FBARs.(Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts).

Please see the following link to the IRS site and the Eligibility for the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures.  It is very important that you become compliant as soon as possible.

Generally, unless you have a lot of outside income, you will not end up owing very much in the way of US taxes due to the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credits.

I would suggest that you work with a tax firm that handles expat returns to help you get up to date on your US filing requirements.
