My Spouse and I have lived in Europe since January 17th, 2016. I am unsure where to report this in my Tax return. Please advise... Thank you!

Your state of residency or address, which is referred to as your principal place of residence, is determined by some or all of the following factors (no single factor makes you a resident). It is the state where you:

 - Own or rent your main home where you spend most of your time

 - Intend to return to if you work, travel or vacation elsewhere temporarily

 - Maintain your driver's license

 - Register to vote

 - Maintain your primary bank account(s)

 - Have strongest family ties

 - Your children live and attend school

 - Own or run your main business, especially if you live in that state

In your case, as of December 31, 2016, you would select Foreign or U.S. Possession. This would be located within the Personal Info tab. (Please see attached photo). Also, if you generated any income in a particular state, you will need to indicate it within Personal Info, under Other state income.
