Because you need to file a Form 8689, you cannot e-file the return with TurboTax.  

 

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien but not a bona fide resident of the USVI during the tax year, you must file your original Form 1040 or 1040-SR with the United States and an identical copy of that return with the USVI if you have:

  • Income from sources in the USVI, or
  • Income effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the USVI.

File your original Form 1040 or 1040-SR with the United States and file a signed copy of the U.S. return (including all attachments, forms, and schedules) with the U.S. Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue by the due date for filing Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Use Form 8689 to figure the amount of tax you must pay to the USVI. 

U.S. Citizen or Resident Alien (Other Than a Bona Fide Resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands)
