Important Notice

The U.S. Embassy would like to remind U.S. citizens that they are required to file their federal income taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by April 18, 2022.  If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien living or traveling outside the United States, you generally are required to file income tax returns, estate tax returns, and gift tax returns, and pay estimated tax in the same way as those residing in the United States.  Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside.

There is no Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office at the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Vietnam. The ACS staff is unable to answer inquiries about the preparation and filing of U.S. taxes.
