Yes, it mentions MAX Benefits, says
Oops, it looks like we're missing some of your personal information like state and zip
You can go back to My Info and add that information now.
But only address section I can see is my current actual address


There are a couple of options:

 

If you don't want MAX, it can be removed prior to paying for it:

If it won't let you remove it, then to continue with MAX here's the workaround:

 

I'm just a fellow user and don't work for TurboTax, but I've seen the following answer for foreign filers mentioned several times in the forum about "tricking" TurboTax by going to My Info and temporarily changing your address to the billing address for the credit card you used to pay your fees, just long enough to complete the MAX consent paperwork, then before filing going back to My Info and changing the temporary USA address back to your actual mailing address before finishing and transmitting the return.    The steps are in the thread at the link below.   When you go there, scroll down the page to the answer provided by @ Critter-3 where she outlines the steps.

NOTE:  The webpage design has changed since those steps were written.  Personal Info is now called My Info, and the menu is the left menu column and not at the top.

 

Don't forget to change the address back to your actual address before finishing the FILE section and transmitting.   If you forget to change it back, that's the address that would end up being used on your return.

 

I don't know how any of that affects your MAX Benefits, or whether all of the benefits are available to foreign filers or not.  I'm only passing along the workaround that is in several threads.
