Efile from Guam

[TW074]

I am active duty military who moved to Guam in 2020.  My home of record is New Mexico, can I still e-file even though I am living on Guam?  TurboTax is defaulting me to paper file because of my current mailing address and prefer to e-file.

Yes, you can efile from abroad while on active military duty.

My TurboTax software will not let me efile.  It says that I must paper file.  Is there a way around this or do I have to paper file?

The IRS sets up the parameters that may prevent you from e-filing based on your address. The only way around this would be to enter an address elsewhere that is allowed.
