Where Can I Download Tax and FBAR Forms for Self-Filing?

If you’re planning to self-file your US expat taxes and FBAR, here’s where to access the necessary forms:

IRS Tax Forms (e.g., Form 1040, 2555, 1116)

You can download all relevant US tax forms and instructions directly from the IRS website: Visit the IRS Forms & Publications page

Common forms for expats include:

• Form 1040 – US Individual Income Tax Return
• Form 2555 – Foreign Earned Income Exclusion
• Form 1116 – Foreign Tax Credit

FBAR – FinCEN Form 114

The FBAR (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) must be filed electronically via the BSA E-Filing System, not through the IRS.

File your FBAR on the BSA e-filing portal

Note: The FBAR is due April 15, with an automatic extension to October 15.
