I file from overseas every year using TurboTax - with a foreign address - and when completed I print and send by mail  Earlier this year I prepared a draft 2020 return in Turbo Tax Premier 2020 and had to wait for information to complete it.  I have missed the October 15 deadline and now don't seem to be able to access my Turbo Tax and the documents I prepared in it.  I try to open the document and then receive advice that I need to update.   I try to complete the update but it gives me an error because I dont have a US address to enter.

Is there anyway I can access my 2020 return documents and complete the tax return so I can print and send.

Thanks anyone who can help me!

    You can efile up to this friday if you had started the return using the online program prior to 10/15.  So where are you being stopped for a foreign address ?   In the FILE tab step 1 when you are paying for the TT fees ?

    I cannot Efile as I have an overseas address.  I always have to print and post.  TurboTax keeps insisting I update and then when I download the update it asks for an address for registration and I can’t put in an overseas address.  I can’t even get access to the return I had partially completed without trying to download this wretched update.

    If it is just to register your TurboTax, put in any US address.
