NoDisplayName Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hello, American expats! Looking forward to paying your tribute for 2023? Have you been using freefilefillableforms.com for online electronic filing? Ha! Not anymore ya ain't! Quote Foreign Phone Numbers Account Creation - You cannot use a foreign phone number. Without a U.S. phone number, you may not be able to create, access or recover your account. Now searching for online alternative for electronic submission to avoid printing and mailing hardcopy. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDisplayName Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) Looking over the options at the IRS website, the system offered two options. FreeTaxUS Quote Can I use FreeTaxUSA if I live at a foreign address? Unfortunately, we don't support customers or preparers who are living outside the United States when they file their taxes, even if they lived in a US territory. The final option is TaxSlayer. Quote Mobile phone Mobile phone is required. Gosh, you'd expect a terrorist organization that demands tribute from any and all income galaxy-wide, regardless of physical location, would make it possible to e-file......

Any suggestions? I used OLT last year and also will again this year. I already filled in the info for 2023 but have not submitted to IRS. I need to do one more check on my figures. They do accept a Thailand address. https://www.olt.com Edited February 24 by gamb00ler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I always use Freefillable forms But, I do keep a US mobile phone number. Off most of the time, I turn it on in Thailand only to receive SMSes. Having a Thai address is no problem, all my returns have Thai address. But to create the account (which you have to re-do each year) need a US phone number.
