Filing Taxes Overseas

Can a consular officer help me with my taxes?
Consular Officers are not permitted to give advice on the filing of income tax returns, other than to refer taxpayers to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms and information pamphlets, many of which are available at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai.  Only IRS employees are authorized to provide guidance to individuals on tax matters. Inquiries on tax matters should be directed to the following IRS offices.
