The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office serving Sweden is located in Philadelphia, and provides U.S. Federal tax assistance to Americans in Sweden.

The IRS Home Page, www.irs.gov , has a lot of information available to answer many questions. Go to ‘Individuals’ and then ‘Overseas Taxpayers’ you will find a section of FAQ, which will take you to IRS Publication 54. Many questions of overseas taxpayers can be answered from that source.

One point to remember for all overseas taxpayers is that the United States taxes its citizens on their worldwide income. Even though they may be eligible to exclude a certain amount of their earned income from their income tax computation, they must file a US tax return in order to claim that exclusion.

Tax assistance volunteers are often available at the U.S. Embassy between April 10 and June, between 9:00 AM and 12:00 noon, to assist taxpayers in completing U.S. income tax returns. Appointments are required for this service and must be made by calling the American Citizen Services unit at tel. 08/783 5375, between 1:00 PM-3:00 PM, Monday-Thursday. The office is closed on U.S. and Swedish holidays.

Please note that only information and guidance will be provided. Volunteers are not authorized to prepare income tax forms on an individual’s behalf. We suggest that you bring a draft or partially completed return, as well as the previous year’s return and supporting documents when you meet with the volunteer. In some cases, taxpayers may be advised by volunteers to seek professional tax preparation services.
