As you correctly note in your question, there are two
separate disclosure forms that may be required of taxpayers who hold foreign financial accounts or assets; each also has different
reporting rules. One is known as IRS Form 8938, and can be
attached to the relevant yearly Form 1040 tax return. The other is FinCen
Form 114, which can only be filed via the internet. The following
Internal Revenue Service webpage describes them in some detail, and provides
their dollar value reporting levels:

In direct response to your question, IRS Form 8938 is included in
all paid versions of TurboTax. This includes TurboTax online (Deluxe and up), as well as all versions of TurboTax desktop software (Basic and up). It is not available in the Free File editions of TurboTax.
FinCen Form 114 is not included in TurboTax, and you would need
to access that reporting webpage separately, if your foreign financial assets
total over the limit(s). Note that you can get to the FinCen reporting
internet site directly through the above IRS link.
FACTA reporting requirements are met with IRS Form 8938. FBAR reporting requirements are met with FinCen Form 114.
Thank you for asking this important question.
