Yes, you need to report foreign income if you're a US citizen or resident. You'll need to report all of your income, whether it was earned in the US or abroad.

Here's how to enter your foreign income:

  • Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.

  • Search for foreign income.

  • Select the Jump to link in the search results.

  • Answer Yes to Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States? and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you lived and worked in a foreign country, you might qualify for the foreign income exclusion. We'll ask questions to see if you qualify after you've entered your foreign income.
