Hello, I am deaf and I live abroad. I need to contact the IRS to set some records straight. I don't have a DTT phone and they won't reply by email. How do I contact the IRS, then?
There is no IRS office abroad... should I contact my Consulate, instead?

Or is there a TDD virtual phone I can use?:dunno:
I can't use the relay service when abroad – it detects I am not in the US and blocks me.
 
Go to us embassy in Argentina will help you out. I went to us embassy in russia for help in years ago

Thanks mikemike, I am working with my CPA to see if he can sort it out himself. Else, I will rely on snail mail (in 2016 - seriously?!)

Seriously. There are still people out there who prefer snail mail over using the internet/computers for some things like financial transactions or anything else. Some folks don't like computers or are not fond of them... or they can't afford internet and computers.
