Embassy of the United States Brunei, Darussalam

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

All U.S. citizens and residents living or traveling outside the United Sates are generally required to file income tax returns in the same way as those residing in the United States. The deadline to file taxes is April 15th.

The Embassy no longer has IRS tax forms as all can be printed from the IRS website. There is no U.S. Internal Revenue Service in Brunei. The Consular Section is not authorized to accept any forms or filings for U.S. income taxes and will not forward completed returns to the IRS. Should you have taxpayer questions you may contact the Internal Revenue Service Office at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing at irs.beijing@irs.gov.

The IRS has created a new Comprehensive Tax Page which is directed to U.S. citizens who reside abroad. This page contains basic tax information that Americans overseas need to know and also includes links to more detailed topics such as the foreign earned income exclusion, foreign tax credit, reporting foreign bank accounts, fulbright grants, state taxes, and a myriad of others.

Federal Tax Information for U.S. Taxpayers Living Abroad

Publication 4732, Federal Tax Information for U.S. Taxpayers Living Abroad, is available. The IRS developed this brochure as a resource to assist taxpayers in locating useful tax information to help in the preparation of their tax returns and/or in resolving tax account problems.

For your convenience, attached is an electronic copy of the Publication 4732 (Rev.12-2010) [PDF 1,326KB] and it is also available on the internet at http://www.irs.gov.
