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.
