The IRS requires a value in the state field. If your country does not have a state, use a province or something similar to the state. It's not TurboTax that won't e-file the return, it is the IRS rejecting the return for e-file behind the scenes during a quick pre-screening. This type of rejection also happens if the a social security or EIN number doesn't match a legal name.
You can file federal (IRS) returns if you or your employer has a non-U.S. address. 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.
