Efile from Guam

TW074 — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:18:51 GMT

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.
