IRS Information/Income Tax

U.S. citizens must report their worldwide income on their federal income tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service. Living or earning income outside of the United States does not relieve a U.S. citizen of responsibility for filing tax returns. However, U.S. citizens living and/or working abroad may be entitled to various deductions, exclusions, and credits. IRS Publication 54, "Tax Guide For U.S. Citizens And Resident Aliens Abroad," which is available at the U.S. Consulate in Casablanca, gives helpful information to those U.S. citizens residing abroad.

The U.S. Consulate in Casablanca receives a supply of federal tax forms each year from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If you need IRS forms, either visit our office to collect the forms or write to us requesting the forms. There is no IRS representative assigned to the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca, nor is there anyone at the U.S. Embassy in Rabat who can provide authoritative tax information. You may contact the Tax Section at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France, via their website, http://www.amb-usa.fr/irs/irs.htm.

If you have specific questions or problems, we also recommend that you write directly to the IRS in the United States. We do not maintain a supply of any individual state tax forms. Such forms must be obtained by writing the appropriate state office.

The Internal Revenue Service maintains an up-to-date website including information and forms necessary for filing tax returns for both individuals and businesses.
