Our firm is always ready to help with your tax needs, even if you’re abroad. But the IRS also offers resources for those outside the U.S. For international taxpayers, the agency now provides a live text chat to help with transcript requests and to check the status of amended returns. The service is available Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time. To use it, visit the IRS’s Contact My Local Office Internationally webpage (https://bit.ly/4dfs12R). Be prepared to verify your identity using ID.me. If you have questions or need further assistance, we’re here.
