Consular officers cannot advise U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents about federal or state income tax matters. However, the Internal Revenue Service has launched a comprehensive tax page for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents abroad that contains basic tax information that those residing overseas need to know. The site includes links to comprehensive information on important topics such as the foreign earned income exclusion, foreign tax credit, reporting of foreign bank accounts, Fulbright grants, state taxes, and much more.  You can find all this, and more, here.
