If you are a resident of a foreign country on 12/31/16 then in the Personal Info section for your name, in the dropdown for the resident state, scroll to the bottom of the list and select Foreign or US Possession.  If you moved to the foreign country during 2016 from a US state then indicate that you lived in another state.  Select the state where you lived and the date that you moved to the foreign country.
