My spouse was born in Iran & has not come to the United States yet. She is waiting for visa. Should I say the date she became resident of her country(Iran) from 1/1/2022?

The TurboTax system does not accept a date before 1/1/2022

Please clarify your question. What part of TurboTax are you working on? Where is TurboTax asking this question?

[hj1384-gmail-com]

It asks "Did you make money in another state or a foreign country?"

When I say yes, which is the correct answer, the options are only a list of the states of the united states.

There is no "foreign country" choice there.

How can I add my wife's income from another country?

You will report all of her income and claim the foreign income exclusion or credit by selecting the following:

• Wages and Income
• Show more next to less common income
• Start next to Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion
• Answer yes to did you make any money outside the US. 
• You do not need to select a country in the beginning, you will start by adding income and value of employer provided goods

As you walk through the entries for your income, TurboTax will help you decide if you can and should take the Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit.

If you are seeing states listed instead of countries, then go back through and repeat the above steps.  You should not see states.
