I currently live overseas and cannot have the Turbo Tax address as foreign. Should I just use my previous AB address even though I no longer live in Canada?

Moved back to my home country of New Zealand and am filing from there. But can't have my NZ address in Turbo Tax.

    You can’t use NETFILE to file your tax return if you are an emigrant or non-resident of Canada. You would need to mail or fax your return.

     

    If you aren't an emigrant or non-resident, then you can use your old address if it is still what's on file with the CRA. But you would still need to be able to receive mail to that address, as that is where the CRA will send any paper communication.

    Are you talking about the address in your contact details or on the payment page? Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?

    Hello. The contact details on Turbo Tax Online. Then at the review stage for submitting, the error report says I cannot use the foreign address to submit through NETFILE.
