Manila is a disaster for me. They send some copy paste rubbish every time I ask a question via email. Takes three weeks to respond. ----------------- So, if I need to call SS I call Manila? Especially in this case of this form? Do I understand you correctly that the forms with bar code go out to everyone in June. I cannot mail a blank form until ?? January?? I mail the blank form assuming I'd not rec'd the bar coded form. I presume they get mailed to US not Manila? I also presume there's no verification of receipt? Even in SS website?

I signed up first with IDMe. I was able to successfully log in to SS site. I've been in a few times. Sign up seems straight forward. If encourage you to do same. Not related to thread: I am a bit concerned with the process, verifications.... I've not worked in years. Self supporting. Good luck. Try the website!

I'd searched the forum and only came up with a very old thread. I'm going to bring my old slides out from US and want to digitize many inexpensively. There's a lot of culling to be done so sending off while in US probably can't happen. Is there value here in Bangkok in getting scans down? I imagine the equipment is better in US. Price potentially even cheaper. Any help appreciated.

Im quite late to this thread. I'll be filing Q1 2026. IDMe has my address in Thailand. SS site I guess as well. My bank is US for SS payments. I will receive the dread form correct? When should I expect this form annually? Correlation to birthday? Filling out two blank forms and mailing separately seems like a winning strategy. I assume nothing preprinted on forms mailed. Where can I get blank forms? Is there a webpage that summarizes well? Anything I should know stepping into this? Iive in Bangkok and mail is pretty good from US - about two weeks # Manila is worthless. They should just shut that thing down.

Hi I have two questions regarding filing US taxes. My wife has no citizenship, green card, TIN. I've read that my filing status is married filing separately. Can anyone confirm? Next, I've not searched this out. Appreciate any guidance. Any free filing (sw) ? Filing is simple, standard deduction self. Filing from abroad with address here in Thailand Thank you
