By this time last year I had received the expat tax book from the IRS, but this year there's no sign of it. Has anybody received one I could borrow for a day or so to copy some instructions and forms? My computer's too slow to download all I would need.

What tax book is that? I've never received anything like that from the IRS on Bonaire (but maybe my accountant gets one?).

The IRS sends expats a much thicker book than the one sent to US residents. It contains a lot more forms and instructions.

Thanks, Mickey, but as I explained in my original message, my computer is too slow to download what I need, and phone connection charges here are high. I can't buy the ink cartridges for my printer on Bonaire at all and paper is expensive here too. We're talking about many pages of instructions and forms. You must not live on Bonaire, or you must have a broadband connection.

Tish, You could always ask a trusted friend stateside to get one and then find some helpful BTer coming down to bring it. Perhaps Dee Scarr gets one? You might try her locally as she doesn't keep up with BT. Dara

Thanks, Michael, but see my previous messages. Plus the power outages add to the problem. I'm still hoping somebody will turn up with the IRS book for expats.

Tish, I think Mike was talking about Chat and Browse, download the forms there, burn them to a CDR, and view them on your home computer at your leisure. Probably the cheapest way to go.

Yes, Seb, I figured that out after I answered Michael's message. See, he and I are both professional writers, so naturally we can't communicate. Thanks for interpreting.

Guess what the mail carrier brought today? That's right--my IRS book!
