Can I e-file with a foreign address?
by TurboTax•380• Updated 3 months ago
Yes, you can file federal (IRS) returns if you or your employer has a non-US address. However, there are some restrictions regarding foreign-address returns:
- IRS regulations require a US bank account to receive your tax refund, and you'll need a US bank account (or credit/debit card with a US billing address) if paying additional federal taxes owed.
- Like many stateside merchants, we require a US 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 US or APO/FPO/DPO address.
Some states also let you e-file with non-US addresses. We'll let you know if your state supports this.
