Sound like you might have a Form 2555 being created in the program.  If it does not apply to you, you can simply remove it. 

 

In TurboTax online,

 

1.  Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off 

2.  From the left menu, select Tax Tools, click on the drop down arrow

3.  Select Tools

4.  Under Other helpful links, choose Delete a form

5.  Select Delete next to the Form 2555 and Continue with My Return

 

If you worked in a foreign country and earned income there, you would have a foreign income.  You would use the Form 2555 to calculate the excludable portion of your foreign income that you made and the housing exclusion deduction while working on foreign soil.  For 2020, the maximum exclusion amount has increased to $107,600.  To  learn more, click here: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i2555
