TurboTax Federal Free Edition can't be registered or e-filed with a foreign address. You can always upgrade to a paid product (at a minimum, PLUS) in order to complete your return with a foreign address. See the info below for e-filing with a foreign address:

I used a fake US address, which did not change my address on my tax return. My federal return was accepted within minutes. Still waiting on the state.
The mailing address on your tax return is mainly used when IRS needs to contact you. For example, if your direct deposit banking information is incorrect and they need to mail you a check. Or there are any questions on your tax return IRS needs to contact you about. You could use your friend's address only if you can be contacted.
Hi, I used turbotax free file last year and didn't need a US address. I retired to a foreign country and used that address but when I get ready to finalize and send my return it is asking for a US address to register. What now?
TurboTax requires a US address to register.
I used the free file version last year and it didn't ask for a US address to register. Last year it was easy to use as it was my first time, i used my foreign address and there is a box to identify in you are using a foreign address, but I didn't need to register last year just before sending my file to the IRS. So this must be a new change this year? Why would the software allow people to insert their foreign address, then ask to register before sending the file and only use a US address? Something just doesn't add up.
According to the information from the Free File Program, you should be able to file your return with a foreign address. Here is contact information if you continue not to be able to file.
If you are not successful, you would still be able to file your tax return by mail.
what if im living in JAPAN?
You can e-file your tax return with a foreign address. See here: efile with foreign address
However, make sure you have US bank account to receive your tax refund and credit or debit card with US address if you owe to pay.
