Contact My Local Office Internationally

International Services

If you are a taxpayer with specific individual or business account questions you should contact the International Taxpayer Service Call Center by phone or fax. These account questions can relate to various topics such as overpayment status, balances owed, and correspondence received regarding international tax forms.

While our telephone assistors can help answer these questions, there are some questions that are too complex for us to address. To find resources to assist you with these more complex tax topics, visit Find Information on Complex Tax Topics.
