Yes, if you earned income while living and working abroad, you are required to file a US tax return. Enter this under Foreign Earned Income, even if you didn't receive a W-2. You'll see other options for documentation under this topic.

To find this topic quickly, search for "foreign earned income" and use the jump-to link to go to the start of this section. 

TurboTax will also help you with the Foreign Income Exclusion and any Foreign Tax Credit you may receive.
