I need to e-file f1040, f2555, s1, sb, sd. Which software package do I need? What is the fee?

In addition, my foreign employer is non US company. This means no US company ID exist and no W-2 is issued (only salary statement). can I still e-file? Thanks

You will still be able to E-file your return. I don't know what you are referring to by sb, and sd. I also don't know what other forms you might need. If you worked overseas, and are eligible for the foreign income exclusion, then you can use any version of TurboTax Online, other than Free. For a list of forms and schedules available in each version, go to:

Thanks for your assistance. I meant by sb, sd, & s1 for schedule-B, schedule-D & schedule-1.

Another question please: How about "FinCEN Report 114", and "FBAR". Are they available in your

turbo tax packages, and if so, which one. Thank you

You can buy any of the Desktop CD/Download programs you can use any version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

If you use the Online web version start with Deluxe. It will ask you to upgrade if you need a higher version.
