You should use your
current address for filing your tax return.
It is the address that the IRS will use to contact you about
your return or mail your refund check if necessary. If you used an old address, you may not
receive that important mail.
If you file your return using the appropriate filing status
for your situation during 2016 and there is a question about the address shown
on the return, the IRS may ask you for some documentation showing your address
during 2016.
Otherwise, you can choose to file using the Single filing
status by changing the filing status in the Personal Info section of your
return. Use these steps:
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you
can type in “filing status” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and
click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to filing status”
Click on the blue “Jump
to filing status” link
Click Edit beside Filing Status
to change it
