We accept credit, debit, and pre-paid cards with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo. Like many other U.S. online merchants, we can only process cards with a U.S. billing address.

If you do not have a US billing address, perhaps you have a friend or relative in the US that could assist you.

You can use the Deluxe or Premier online version or any of the cd/Download versions.

I prefer the cd/Download versions as you can see your forms while you are preparing your returns which you cannot do with the online versions. TurboTax desktop (cd/Download) allows direct access to all forms and worksheets. This is good for troubleshooting, error checking, and making manual adjustments in rare cases where they are needed.  Turbotax online hides the forms and worksheets, and only allows you see them after you pay.  The worksheets and forms are never directly editable.

You can only receive LIVE help  from the online versions.   However, if you have a foreign phone number, you cannot receive LIVE help.
