TurboTax will determine if you have to report your Foreign Income based on your answers.

 

If the value of  your foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year, you are required to file an FBAR to report your foreign interest. You will have to file through this website, click here .

 

All foreign income must be reported on your tax return if you're a US citizen or resident. You are required to report all of your income, whether it was earned in the US or abroad.

If you lived and worked in a foreign country, you might qualify for the foreign income exclusion. TurboTax asks questions to see if you qualify for this exclusion.
