U.S. citizens must report their worldwide income on their federal income tax returns.  Living or earning income outside the United States does not relieve a U.S. citizen of the responsibility for filing tax returns.  However, U.S. citizens living and/or working abroad may be entitled to various deductions, exclusions, and credits.  The American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit does not have federal tax forms.  For more information on general U.S. tax issues, please consult the IRS web site.  For basic tax information for U.S. citizens overseas, please visit the U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad page of the Internal Revenue Service.

Tel: 267-941-1000 (not toll-free)

New regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 7216, Disclosure or Use of Tax Information by Preparers of Returns, became effective January 1, 2009. These regulations limit tax return preparers’ use and disclosure of information obtained during the return preparation process to activities directly related to the preparation of the return. The regulations, along with supplemental Revenue Procedure 2008-35 contain the updated rules and requirements relating to disclosure and use of tax return information. These regulations apply to paid and volunteer preparers and the administrative staff that supports them. Failure to comply may result in criminal or civil penalties. See the IRC 7216 information page for more details.
