Filing - Entering Overseas Address

I am trying to file, and want to enter my address details.  I live in New Zealand now, but program will only allow me to use Canada or US as my address.  It won't let me continue unless I choose one of these

There are a number of restrictions imposed by CRA that will not permit a return to be net filed.  For more info, please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/esrvc-srvce/tx/ndvdls/netfile-impotnet/lgblty-eng.html  You will note one of the restrictions that prohibits net filing is if your address is outside of Canada.

Try entering zz as the province which indicates nonresident. This how some other software I use handles this situation. I hope it works with TT. So enter your foreign address but under province input zz.

5 simple steps to resolve foreign address issues:

  1. Enter your last Canadian address to bypass TT mandatory field

  2. Remember to indicate your filing status e.g.  nonresident to ensure correct calculation.

  3. Print tax return

  4. Whiteout the address and write in your foreign address

  5. Change your address by calling CRA @ 18009598281 or go online to My account and DIY. (This can be done in step 1).

Huh?  Printing it and white out can fix any line in the program 😉  .  I want to efile as a deemed Canada resident with a foreign address.  The software isn't smart enough to do this.

I guess not! Mailing seems to be the only option available for you

This isn't an appropriate resolution.  do the developers watch these thread for future developement?  many people would be affected by this.

You can't just decide on your own that you are a deemed resident.  That is a determination made by CRA based on a number of things.

All I'm talking about is filling in the current address, and if i can write it on a piece of paper, then I should be allowed to fill it into a digital form.  or are you saying the CRA doesn't allow digital submission for non residents?
