You must upgrade to the Deluxe version to enter a foreign address to your return.
However, there are some restrictions regarding foreign-address returns:
- IRS regulations require a U.S. bank account to receive your tax refund, and you'll need a U.S. bank account (or credit/debit card with a U.S. billing address) if paying additional federal taxes owed.
- Like many stateside merchants, we require a U.S. billing address to pay for TurboTax if using a credit or debit card.
- If you're deducting fees from your refund with the optional Pay With My Refund service, you'll need a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address.
- Free products like TurboTax Free Edition and TurboTax Easy Extension require a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address upon registration.
Some states also let you e-file with non-U.S. addresses. We'll let you know if your state supports this.

it is because you are filing foreign income now and the free version must have a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address upon registration. Also Turbo Tax free is only free if you have a simple return with no schedules... Foreign income reporting requires a deluxe or higher because there are extra schedules to prepare.
