Tax and IRS Information

Residence overseas does not make U.S. citizens exempt from federal income tax filing requirements, which are determined by income received. It may, however, change tax liability. One should consult with the I.R.S. for more detailed information. The U.S. Embassy in Madrid and the U.S. Consulate General in Barcelona have no IRS Representatives. Questions concerning individual federal income taxes may be addressed either to:
