How do I file with a foreign address when Max Benefits keep asking me to add a state and zip

You can e-file with a Foreign Address, but there are some restrictions.

Here is a TurboTax article with more information: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301481

 

Regarding the state and zip, TurboTax asks for this information because the IRS requires it and rejects e-filed forms if the fields are blank.  You can try using 99999 as the zip but you will have to enter something for state.  It can be a province or the equivalent of a state.  If these do not work then you must paper file your return.

 

Here is how to jump to the section where you can enter the state:

1. Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.
2. Select My Info from the left menu.
3. On the Personal info summary page, select Edit next to Taxpayer.
4. Go to 2. Tell us the state(s) you lived in and select Foreign or U.S Possession from the drop down list (it's all the way at the bottom).
5. Select the Continue button at the bottom.
6. Select Edit next to  Mailing Address and choose Foreign country from Type of mailing address drop down list.
7. Input your address in the appropriate fields, select your country from the drop down list, and select Continue.
