No US address and no Us credit card . Unable to buy Turbotax

I don't have an US address and US credit card. I always bought Turbotax tax from Amazon,  but apparently they no longer send the package to Germany. Where can I buy the software? Or is there an alternative software I can buy? I just need to fill out all the forms and e-file it. I never have to pay taxes.

Sorry---in order to purchase TurboTax software you need a U.S. based credit or debit card.    Sometimes ex-pats go to their nearest U.S. embassy to purchase a re-loadable U.S. based Visa, Mastercard, etc. to use for this purpose and then use online TurboTax.

It is a shame that Turbotax does not support expats when buying the software. It should be possible to purchase the software with an foreign address and credit card. Every online store does! 

Maybe they could  use ID.me in order to buy the software.

Another alternative, depending on your AGI.
