TurboTax will not accept a credit card that is not U.S. based. Were you trying to use online TurboTax? (If so, it is too late to use online for a 2023 return now).
Not sure if you have a computer that supports the CD/download, but you can purchase the desktop software from other retailers online like amazon, etc. Have you tried that?
This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.
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.
