Can I Mail My Return and Payment?
You can mail your tax return and payment using the postal service or approved private delivery services.  A list of approved delivery services is available on IRS.gov.  If you mail a return from outside the United States, the date of filing is the postmark date.  However, if you mail a payment, separately or with your return, your payment is not considered received until the date of actual receipt.

Can I Electronically File My Return?
You can prepare and e-file your income tax return, in many cases for free.  Participating software companies make their products available through the IRS.  E-File options are listed on IRS.gov.

The IRS maintains a directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualificationslocated across the world. Please note that American law prohibits the Dip. Mission Russia from recommending or endorsing any private facilities.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010 (HIRE Act) were enacted on March 18, 2010.

FATCA generally requires a foreign financial institution to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to report information about certain accounts held by U.S. persons or foreign entities owned by U.S. persons.

For more information on FATCA, see these FAQs, see IRS, and U.S. Department of Treasury webpages.
