So I'm going to apply for my tax return with Turbo Tax and I know I can get a check or select direct deposit into a bank account. The thing is that I'm not living anymore in the USA and I only have a bank account here in Europe. Can I put my bank account from here as my receiving option or it can be only a USA bank account ?

A direct deposit of a tax refund can only be deposited into a US bank located in the US. The IRS can send the tax refund as a US Treasury check mailed to the address on your tax return. Since you have a local bank in Europe you can deposit the check into your local bank account. The bank will put a hold on deposit until it has cleared and then you would have access to the funds.
Thanks for your reply and for the information. But, unfortunately for I don't know what reasons there are no banks here in my country (Romania) that accepts checks from outside the country.
Since Romania is part of the EU, I doubt that a Romanian bank would refuse to deposit a check drawn on a bank outside of Romania. You need to speak directly with your bank for their procedures to deposit a check issued by the United States Treasury Department.
