Because using Taxcut you need to put a foreign address on the 1040 to
show that he is a full time foeign resident, and thus get the foreign
residence exclusion. I think I'll go with Bill and just paper file.

This seems like reasonable advice to me, but what's wrong with using
line 1 on form 2555 for the foreign addres, and reporting the US
address on form 1040?

Peter: Sorry, but your original question included the information that
no tax was owed. Now that you clarify his foreign residency is the
basis for that, + the state return, it is apparent that the best advice
is that you file again on paper rather than efiling, since you need to
include a note.

It is possible to attach explanatory remarks to efiles, but not for the
purpose of explaining the address of record issue, AFAIK.

The other side of the issue is that he needs to show he is a full time
foreign resident so he can get the foreign resident tax exemption.

He needs to show that he is a full time foreign resident, so he must
put his foreign address on the return. Besides, he is not filing a
state return. If he is using our address he will be required to file
a state return.

I tend to agree with Bill on this. BUT I will add a caveat -

You need to be careful about various credits and other issues, some of which
are allowed ONLY for those living in the U.S. By filing with YOUR U. S.
Address it is entirely possible that the IRS, and maybe the state, will
assume he lives in the U. S. and they could issue him a credit or refund to
which he is not entitled.

Be Careful,

It seems simple logic that your son's "address of record" where the IRS
could reach him, is via your own mailing address -- and since that's the
address which has been used in previous years, you should continue to
use it until or unless he establishes another permanent and "accessible"
address.

I am filing for my son, who lives outside of this country. He has
always use our address as his US mailing address, as mail to his
residential country is iffy. This year I plan to e-file as he does
not owe anything. But where do I put in a mailing address that's
different from his residential address? Previously I just attach a
note. But with e-file I can't attach a note. Is there a way to put
in a mailing address that's different from his residential address?
