Retirement tax questions

Please adjust your response.  Turbotax is not authorized for sale outside the US, it says so right on the Amazon listing.  There may be ways a non-US customer could get a copy (tricking Amazon, asking a friend for help), but it is not authorized.

 

(I believe this is because Turbotax contains encryption used for transmitting e-filed returns, and it is considered a national security risk to sell software containing advanced encryption algorithms to non-approved countries.)

I would always recommend that an expat maintain at least one US credit card, and a US bank account with a few dollars in it, and maybe even a US post office box that could be looked after by a friend.  You never know when you might need it.
