Turbo Tax
« on: May 23, 2024, 06:10:24 PM »
Hi

Can we use Turbo Tax in the UK (to file my husbands US tax return) and pay using a UK bank account/address?

Thanks

I never found a way to do this and maintain a US credit card and address to buy it each year.

This is our first year where my husband will no longer have a US card/address as previously we used Tax Act.
Is there any other way of filing his US taxes over here without having to pay someone to do it?

I use TaxAct. Ok, I have a U.S. card address, but I believe I noticed that you can pay via pay pal. You could link your local bank card to pay pal.

Paying for tax prep software is one of the major issues we face while living overseas. If you can associate a US address to a US bank do so. Otherwise ask a friend or family member to pay the fee for you. You can get a US bank with a credit union, although it would still be associated to a local address. You could otherwise try freefile, if you qualify.

How do you maintain that US address; a relative, friend or mail box service?

It used to be the address of our daughter but once she moved back she set up a mail box service and I use that.

Do you have any details on that service? Cost? Name? Location? I have all my finance stuff set up for delivery by email so I was thinking of asking a friend to let me use their address as a mailing address while stating my primary address as the UK.

I’m currently on a cruise but I will ask my daughter when I get a chance (I only use the address, no idea who it is).

Yes indeed. This cruise is from Portsmouth and is called Islands on the Edge and it stops at 18 islands up the west coast of the UK ending up at Aberdeen. Many of the landings are via zodiac boats. So far, so good.

That service my daughter is using is as follows and she has been very pleased with it.
