Payment -

I want to pay to use Turbo Tax.  I have an American Credit Card (USD) with a Foreign Address.  Your payment area does not allow me to pay with a card that has a foreign address.  

 

I do not live in America.  I live in Australia.

Payment -

You have 2 options.    U.S. banks require the card's billing address in order to validate on-line charges, and the databases they use for this purpose do not include foreign addresses (too many possible formats).  Also, a great deal of on-line credit card fraud emanates from foreign countries; requiring a valid U.S. billing address reduces the chance that someone overseas is stealing your card number. 

 

  • If you have a refund coming, you can use it to pay your TurboTax fees - this is a rather expensive option because of the service charge.  
  • Pay for TurboTax with someone else's U.S. credit card (close relative or close friend), one with a U.S. billing address.  The payment process is completely separate from the tax return preparation, so using a card with a different name & address won't be a problem.
