Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I just filed a quick extension, but I'm currently living out of the country. I think Box 8 on form 4868 should be checked. Turbotax wouldn't let me put a foreign address.

If you are filing an extension Form 4868 in the TurboTax program, you will not be able to e-file without a US address. However, you can still print out the form and submit it by mail. 

 

In TurboTax online,

1. After sign into your account, select Take me to my return 

2.  At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in extend and Enter 

3.  Select the 1st choice on the search results - Jump to extend / and follow prompts.

4.  On-screen, Add or edit your info, leave the address portion blank

Print out the Form 4686 and hand-write your foreign address in the appropriate space.

 

I hope the information helps !!
