No street address for the IRS is a problem
What a headache US IRS taxes are, especially when you live and work outside of the US in another country.
So many reasons why it is obsurd to have to file 11 pages of tax forms to say you don't owe US taxes, but the worst is that I can't file eletronically if I earned no income in the US and qualify for foreign earned income exemption. That's insane. The tax system is so broken.
What's worse? When you live in a foreign country, in order to send tracked mail, you HAVE to have a street address.
But what does the IRS do? Gives an address like this with no street:
Department of Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Austin TX [removed]
I had to go to three different postal shops to find someone who could figure out how to send mail and skirt the requirement for a street address.
