The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires sent out the following notice to American citizens living in Argentina:

IRS Taxpayer Assistant to Visit March 12-14

An Internal Revenue Service Taxpayer Assistant will take U.S. taxpayer questions by appointment March 12, 13 and 14 in the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires. To make an appointment, please send an e-mail to buenosaires-acs@state.gov or stop by Window 15 in the Consular Section from 8:30am to noon Monday through Friday. To accommodate taxpayers living outside the Province of Buenos Aires we will also schedule telephone appointments for the afternoon of March 13.

Taxpayers should bring their 2006 tax returns, 2007 tax forms and 2007 financial records to their appointments with the IRS representative.

All 2007 IRS tax forms may be downloaded via the Internet at www.irs.gov . A few basic forms are available at Window 15 in the Consular Section.

Please complete the necessary tax forms prior to your appointment with the IRS representative. The assistant will answer specific questions, but he will not complete your tax forms. Interviews are scheduled for 15 minute intervals.
