Until 03/07/17 lived in Texas, retired in Peru now. Program asks "state" of residence on 12/31/17 All my mail is delivered at son's address in CA. What to put?

[KrisD · Accepted solution]

The address you use for your mail does not need to be the address you claim on your tax return as your residence. There is an option to choose Foreign or U.S. Possession. 

Open your account and click on "Take me to my return"

Click on My Info on the left side-bar

Click on the edit Pencil icon on the right by your information

Scroll down to question #2 "Tell us the state(s) you lived in"

Click the drop-down and choose Foreign or U.S. Possession

Continue through the questions picking Texas as your previous state and the date you moved.
