Hi there!

I'm having the same problem. The advice given by the other poster doesn't help. I believe it's a glitch.

Last Feb, 2019, I talked to TurboTax support they said it was a glitch and to try again later. I tried today, 12 March 2019 and I'm still getting, "Oops... missing... State and zip.

Here's a link to my post for more detail. Sorry I can't offer a solution. I'm in the same boat. Expact living his dream in Japan. I did the same thing with the Credit Card. I believe that's where the problem is tied to but TurboTax folks just say it's a 'glitch'.

Same problem here while I was trying to file my tax from Taiwan.

I've sent an email to TT about this issue. 

Hopefully they're gonna solve this soon, hopefully.

Hi, thank you so much for trying to help, but when I went to  @kalehnhardt2, there is not any comment from this person. Is @KurtL1 the correct link?

Could you check it for me? 

Thanks.   

Dear sir,    @KurtL1 

I have followed your instruction, but I still got the same result of

Hi Filip,

@Fillip 

Could you please advise what you ended up doing since TT didn't solve this issue for you last year?

Did you print out the documents the system prepared for you and filed the hard copies to the US yourself?

It will be so very helpful if you would share your experience. 

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Giselle,

Yes, I downloaded, then printed out the return and mailed my tax return myself. For me, there was no problem doing it this way.

I can describe my experience with one word, "Frustrating." When I got the "Ooops...." I tired a number of times doing different things to try and resolve the problem. Since I always pay for the support I called TT support two different times over a two week period. They both said that it looks like a glitch and for me to check back. I mention this in a link to another post, I finally tried again about a month later telling them about the problem and that the problem still existed. Got the same reply from TT support, "It must be a glitch".

I'm not going to waste my time and pursue this problem anymore, because as long as I can download my return and print it out and mail it, that's good enough for me.

Just to let you know, I always print and mail my return. For some reason I'm unable to file electronically, eFile whatever it is called. I tried once and the notice came back saying the eFile was rejected. I contacted support and they said it's probably something to do with my foreign address. Since I'm a US Expat living his dream in Japan I don't get a refund nor do I have to pay anything there's no use in using eFile.

Bottom line: I try to not get over frustrated with this. I'm content to download, print and mail my return. I'm in no hurry since there's no refund nor do I have to pay any taxes. Mailing in fine with me.

I have total empathy for you. So my suggestion is, if you're like me, in that you don't get a refund because of the Foreign Income Tax exclusion, not sure how much it is, it's about $100,000. As long as we are making less than that amount we don't have to pay any taxes. So if this is your situation, I'd download, print, and mail the return so you can at least get the filing of your tax return out of the way.

I may plan on trying to finish the 'online filing in our TT dashboard' sometime later, after the Corona Virus has quelled down and possibly contact TT support telling the history of the problem from Feb 2020. When or if I do, I will definitely post my update here.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you do have any success with the "Ooops..." problem, please post your experience here. Good luck.

Good morning from Taiwan Filip,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

My experience of this "Oops..." issue is exactly the same as yours.  

I used Facebook to contact TT CS staff and she could not correctly identify the cause of it to resolve it.

Since according to the screenshot of where I was stopped not only showed the "Oops..." but also showed the "Next, let's get you set up for +PLUS BENEFITS," she concluded that it was because I didn't remove the add-on services before paying caused this issue and decided to refund me.

Other than the refund, she suggested that I should open a new account and make sure to un-check the add-on service before paying.

But guess what? When I was at that point, that add-on option wasn't there AT ALL and the total amount (without the add-on) is the SAME as what I was charged for previously.

I did want to give TT a chance one more time before knowing what she troubleshooted was not the cause, and now, I really am considering your advice to file it myself.

Even though I am anticipating a return since it's my first year of being outside of States, I don't want to go over all the trouble again(and not much time left to waste).

Thanks again for your sharing. I will share my experience when I finally get this tax thing done.

Hi, Fillip. I came to this glitch also of not being able to file. I need to print mine anyway, as I owe no taxes, but the Turbo won't even let me access the file to print it. How did you get to print yours??

Thanks for any last minute help!

Hi, Giselle.

Having same problem with TT, where I've paid the TT "Deluxe" fee, but I get to "step 3" and it tells me I have "missing info" but I checked and rechecked -- it's a foreign address, but it's correct, and I used a local phone where needed. However, I was planning to just print & file my return by mail, but I can't even find a way to print mine. Did you find a way to print your tax return from the TT system? 

Hi Robinann443,

Here's how to print out your 2019 Federal Return.

1. log into your TurboTax dashboard.

2. You should see on the left-hand side a black menu bar. Under "Upgrade" you should see, "Tax Tools".

3. Click the Tax Tools "down arrow" you should see a drop-down menu with "Print Center".

4. Click on "Print Center" you should next see a page with a "checkbox" next to 2019 Federal returns.

5. Click on the "Check Box"- three new options will pop-up: Select which forms you'd like to print and download.

- For me, I chose "Just my tax return".

6. Click on "View or print forms" - a window will pop-up that shows your 2019 Federal Tax return all filled out and ready to print.

- I downloaded mine first then I printed it out. This way i had a copy on my computer.

7. IMPORTANT! The mailing instructions are not included. That's the only info that we can't get because of the "Ooops..." No biggie.

Here's the IRS URL that shows which address you should use to mail your return.

(Link will open in a new page)

- In my case, since there were no enclosed payments, just my tax return, I always use the "Austin, TX address.

Good luck. Feel free to post your success or problem here. I'm following this thread too. Hopefully, a TurboTax Expert will get the message to their tech department to fix this glitch.

Hi Robinann,

I'm sorry that you are suffering the same issue I had with TT. I was able to get a online CS staff to help me troubleshoot the issue, but obviously she could not find the cause of it either.

She bull**bleep**ed me that it was because I did not unselect the “plus” service I accidentally added on while filling up the tax return columns which I later found out I did not make such add on at all.

Long story short, she offered me a refund and I chose another online tax filing company to get my filing done.

By using the other tax filing service, I found out what really caused the “Oops....” issue. 
The States filing, at least my State, DOES NOT accept foreign online filing, so I would assume that was the cause of the Oops you zip code thing needs to be fixed, because what we all used were our foreign Zip codes, the postal No.
Well, my suggestion is that if your filing does not involve getting any refund or paying extra taxes, you could just fill it up yourself and do a hard copy filing for both of the Federal and State, but if yours is more like mine, it would be better to choose other tax filing company’s service to get the job done.

Good luck.

Hey Giselle, thank you for your update.

I ditto the problem being with the state's zip code. Weird that after 11 years using TT that I now encounter this for the first time filling the 2019 return.

Is it possible to share what other tax preparing service you went to?

If not, no problem. I'll try TT next year. As long as I can print it out I'm okay with that.

Stay safe.

Thanks, Fillip!! That worked.

See this thread: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/i-found-a-workaround-1-before-clicking-on-prepare-to-s/01/757678/highlight/true#M303206

I was able to use the instructions there as a workaround. Basically change to a US address in my info click through the plus set up, then go back and change to foreign address. You can now complete the flow. I hope this helps.

Hi Filip,

I ended up using H&R Blocking. 
Sorry for the late response. 
I must’ve missed the email when you responded.

You stay safe too.  Hope it’ll pass soon🙏🏼

The TurboTax software now does accept e-filing from a foreign address but it has failed to resolve a glitch where it requires a US postal address for billing and setting up any added features that you may purchase from TurboTax. There is no space for adding billing information SEPARATELY. 

I spoke with a customer representative as well as TT tax experts before I could try finding a solution for myself.

How I could fix this issue was to edit my mailing address to billing address first. Next step was to setup the TurboTax additional benefits(in my case it was setting up TurboTax MAX Benefits), and once the setup is done, change back the mailing address to the foreign address that is to be used for filing your taxes. 

There is a step where you can verify that the forms have correctly reflected your foreign mailing address before signing and submitting your taxes to avoid any mixup by the software.
Please first consult with a TT expert or customer representative before you assume your issue is the same as mine, but if it indeed a similar issue, then this seemed to help me.

Would request @TurboTax to resolve this issue in their online system as many people might be unaware of the technicalities, or at least make this issue aware to the customer representatives/tax experts and equip them with a solution in case anyone approaches them. 

@pojo567 
Thank you for your helpful and easy-to-understand reply. 

One additional problem is that TT said that Foreign Forms can be e-filed, which is not true, but sure provides a lot of confusion, at least it did for me. I quit trying and now just stick with mailing in my return and not worrying about it. Sometimes filing tax can be a state of mind challenge, LOL!

Again, thank you for sharing an easy to follow what to do if you're in the same situation as you described.

And you're totally spot-on in regards to TT should resolve this now 'ancient' problem.

Hi Filip

Same problem .. do you have a solution yet? [email address removed]

Yes, you can now 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.

Here is how to change to a foreign address in TurboTax:

1. Use the Chrome browser and clear browser data for all time.
2. Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.
3. Select My Info from the left menu.
4. On the Personal info summary page, select Edit next to Taxpayer.
5. Go to 2. Tell us the state(s) you lived in and select Foreign or U.S Possession from the drop down list (it's all the way at the bottom).
6. Select the Continue button at the bottom.
7. Select Edit next to  Mailing Address and choose Foreign country from Type of mailing address drop down list.
8. Input your address in the appropriate fields, select your country from the drop down list, and select Continue.
