I live in Asia and file the FEIE, so I must print and mail my taxes in. My payment options are (1) take out of my return or (2) debit/credit card. Opt 1 doesn't work because I have an international address. Opt 2 tells me they can't process my card but I've tried mutliple card and TT is charging me for Deluxe, then immediately refunding it. So I know the card is good, TT just isn't allowing me to pay. What's the trick?
There are 2 situations in your narrative. I'll comment on each, starting with the FEIE.
You may not have to print and mail. A lot of people with a foreign address successfully efile a return containing the FEIE. Or did you exclude all of your income and thus have a zero-income return due to all of your income being excluded? If so, a common suggestion for a zero-income return in this forum is to add $1 in interest income as a workaround, then it should let you efile. Is that your situation?
As for the card situation, are you using a US credit card with a US billing address (required), and having a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover logo?
