Yes, you can now file federal (IRS) returns if you or your employer has a non-U.S. address. However, there are some restrictions regarding foreign-address returns:
- IRS regulations require a U.S. bank account to receive your tax refund, and you'll need a U.S. bank account (or credit/debit card with a U.S. billing address) if paying additional federal taxes owed.
- Like many stateside merchants, we require a U.S. billing address to pay for TurboTax if using a credit or debit card.
- If you're deducting fees from your refund with the optional Pay With My Refund service, you'll need a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address.
Here is how to change to a foreign address in TurboTax:
- Use the Chrome browser and clear browser data for all time.
- Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.
- Select My Info from the left menu.
- On the Personal info summary page, select Edit next to Taxpayer.
- Go to 2. Tell us the state(s) you lived in and select Foreign or U.S Possession from the drop down list (it's all the way at the bottom).
- Select the Continue button at the bottom.
- Select Edit next to Mailing Address and choose Foreign country from Type of mailing address drop down list.
- Input your address in the appropriate fields, select your country from the drop down list, and select Continue.
