All IRS forms and instruction booklets are available directly from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website at http://www.irs.gov/. AIT also has copies of the most frequently used U.S. tax forms and instructions. The IRS no longer sends the “1040 Package” to AIT for distribution, but all of its contents are available separately, both online and at AIT. You may pick them up at AIT's Taipei office Monday through Friday, from 3:00pm to 3:30pm. Information for overseas U.S. taxpayers can also be obtained by calling an IRS hotline in the U.S. at 1-800-829-1040 (for individuals) or 1-800-829-4933 (for businesses).
An IRS tax assistor will NOT be visiting AIT. The IRS has limited resources and availability and is trying to bring overseas assistance programs in line with existing assistance and outreach programs provided throughout the United States. Please utilize the information available online to assist you with your tax preparation.
