I want to know more about US taxes abroad
Visiting your local IRS office when you’re in the United States
There are local TACs (Taxpayer Assistance Center offices) in every state. You’re not able to just show up at any time, and need to make an appointment. To make an appointment, call 844-545-5640.
To see the addresses and phone numbers of the TACs, select your state on the IRS website here: https://www.irs.gov/help/contact-your-local-irs-office.
Tax questions & tax return help outside the United States
When you’re living outside the United States, getting good US tax help can be hard.
Many people have questions that require excellent working knowledge of the tax treaty that exists between the country they’re living in and the United States.
Expat US Tax offers free and paid consultations to US citizens and Green Card holders living abroad.
Getting the right advice now can pay huge dividends in your short and long term future.
Call the Taxpayer Advocate Service
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS that can help people with tax problems they can’t resolve on their own. They are independent of the local IRS office and report to the national Taxpayer Advocate Service. There’s at least one local Taxpayer Advocate Service center in each state.

Watch out for IRS phone scams
It is rare that the IRS will call you, as the IRS typically contacts you by mail.
To avoid scams, remember that the IRS does not:
- Call you to demand payment.
- Initiate contact with you via email, text or social media.
- Ask you to pay your tax bill with prepaid cards, gift cards or wire transfers.
- Threaten to call the police, immigration officers or other people to arrest you.
- Revoke your driver’s license, business license or immigration status.
If you receive a call from an actual IRS employee with a legitimate need to contact you, please call them back using the appropriate online resources.
How to report phishing and scams:
The IRS doesn’t initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information.
If you receive a call from someone who is not an IRS employee but is claiming to be one, report the incident to the appropriate law enforcement agencies:
- If IRS-related, please report to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) via their online complaint form.
- If Treasury-related, please report to the Office of the Treasury Inspector General (TIG) via OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov
Please report IRS or Treasury-related fraudulent calls to phishing@irs.gov (Subject: IRS Phone Scam). When reporting the call, you’ll need to include the telephone number and a brief description of the communication.
