I don’t have an American bank account anymore

[Ilariad]

Hi! I left the U.S. last July and I am filling my taxes for the 6 months I lived there. I do not have an American bank account anymore, how am I supposed to receive the money?

When did  you enter and when did you leave the USA ?  Which visa ? -- I ask  to determine if you should be filing a form 1040 or  form 1040-NR ( which is not supported by  TurboTax)

Which country are you from ?  Is that where you are now ?

While I await your answers to my questions,   generally  for foreign returns  i.e. where  there is no  direct deposit US bank information, IRS will send a check to the address shown on the return.  You then  have to  work with your local bank to get the check cashed  ( and in local currency ).  There are also other possibilities  like   contacting  the local US consulate /embassy --- they often have   banking facilities.

I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?

The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank.  If you do not have a U.S. based bank account, your refund will be mailed to you as a paper check using the address you entered on your Form 1040, and you can deposit/cash the check in your own country.
