Get your taxes done using TurboTax
As mentioned above, TurboTax does not support Form 8854. The software also does not support PDF attachments to electronically filed returns.
If using TurboTax to prepare your final return, you will need to print the return and file it by mail.
You will also send a copy (marked as such) of the Form 8854 (without the tax return) to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Philadelphia, PA 19255-0049
If you are subject to annual reporting of Form 8854, subsequent forms will also be sent to the Philadelphia service office.
It is only possible to file this form using TurboTax if you are filing a full-year resident tax return on Form 1040, and you print the return to file by mail with the Form 8854 attached.
If you are filing form 1040NR, or are filing a dual status return for your final year, TurboTax is not right for you this year.
It is generally our recommendation that taxpayers filing Form 8854 seek the advice of a professional with experience in this area, as there are many instances where this situation can be quite complex (though it may not always appear to be the case.)
As far as which version of TurboTax is best for you, that will vary based on the other data of your return. Check HERE for more information about the other forms and situations that are covered in each version of the product.
