Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax does not allow you to pay by a foreign credit card due to US banking requirements. This is not a bug.

 

Tax Expert @ToddL99 says:

 

“US banks require the card's billing address in order to validate on-line charges, and the databases they use for this purpose do not include foreign addresses (too many possible formats). 

 

“Also, a great deal of on-line credit card fraud emanates from foreign countries; requiring a valid US billing address reduces the chance that someone overseas is stealing your card number.”

 

No U.S. Credit Card. Unable to Buy TurboTax

 

IRS regulations require a US bank account to receive your tax refund, and you'll need a US bank account (or credit/debit card with a US billing address) if paying additional federal taxes owed.

 

Free products like TurboTax Free Edition and TurboTax Easy Extension require a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address upon registration.

 

Can I e-file with a foreign address?
