I'm a preparer living & working outside the U.S. For several years, it has been impossible for me to submit by e-file client returns. Is there any to do this?.

I'm a U.S. licensed CPA living outside the U.S. I do work for ex-pats still needing to file each year. Was told several years ago that, because I have no U.S. address, I could not e-file my clients' returns. Want to know if there is any way to e-file.

Are you a US citizen or green card holder? If so, you should be able to apply for an EFIN with a foreign address.

US citizen; living overseas for the past 23 years. I have the EFIN. IRS kept rejecting my submissions because I had a foreign address. Trying to find some kind of work-around.

That shouldn't be a problem as there are plenty who have foreign addresses. You may like to speak with the IRS live to get to the bottom of this.
