You may have made an entry somewhere that indicated to the program that you received foreign earned income.

If so, this has probably generated a Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income.

Here's how to remove Form 2555 or 2555-EZ (Form 2555-EZ is a simplified version of this form) from your return:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search for foreign income in the magnifying glass box, then select the Jump to foreign income link in the search results.
  3. On the Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States? screen, select the checkbox next to No, and select Continue
  4. Answer any remaining questions

Alternatively, you can remove Form 2555-T this way:

  1. If you’re on the Hi TurboTax Client, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, with Personal InfoIncome & Expenses, etc. beneath, and none of those are open, click the dropdown next to any of the categories, then click the Review/Edit or Pick up where you left off button.  Otherwise,
  2. In the left pane, select Tax Tools
  3. Then, under that, select Tools
  4. In the Tool Center pop-up, select Delete a form
  5. Select Delete next to Form 2555-T in the list and follow the onscreen instructions
