It just occurred to me maybe this has not been mentioned before: for both individuals and corporations, tax payment has been delayed to a June 30 deadline, due to COVID-19. Hope this information is of help.
Does anyone know whether the Taipei tax office will be open for in-person filing in May here? I routinely ask for a certificate of taxes paid, and in order to get it in time to submit that with my US tax return as my proof of income, I always go into the Taipei tax office in May (otherwise they don’t mail it to me until after June 15).
All government offices are open for business as usual. Just wear mask and stand 6 feet apart. You will be shot, eh, pointed with the laser temperature thinghie, that´s all.
I have a US tax accountant in my second nationality country who files all my US taxes to remain compliant. They deal with my Taiwan income no problem, too. They always extend my filing to October, anyways.
Really? I tried doing it online several times and it was a mess. I couldn’t complete it Though because they asked for information that I didn’t have or didn’t apply to me because I live in Taiwan. Really annoying.
Hi Pendulum, no I do not do it online. I go to the IRS site, and print the forms out. That does not involve them asking for information. I fill them out on paper, just like when they used to mail the forms and instructions. Give it a shot! (And good luck. Filing US taxes sucks!)
