Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To enter your UK address, follow these steps:

  • In your return, select "Personal Info"
  • On "Personal Info Summary" page, just below the "Add a Dependent" box in blue, you will see a button to add or edit your Mailing Address
  • On "Enter your current mailing address" page, ensure that you select "Foreign country" in the drop-down list for Type of mailing address
  • Add or edit your UK mailing address as needed, and click on Continue button
  • You will be returned to the "Personal Info Summary" page

In the Filing section, once you have arranged to pay your TurboTax fees via credit/debit/prepaid card, you may proceed to the second step in which you choose how to receive your refund - simply select the option that states "To a paper check".

Receiving your tax refund via paper check is the correct option, as the IRS can mail a refund check to a foreign address, but does not make direct deposits into foreign bank accounts. 

The IRS will send the refund check to the foreign address which you have entered.  The check from the IRS will be drawn from the U.S. Treasury, so you will need to ensure that your bank will accept a check from the U.S. Treasury, denominated in U.S. Dollars.
