We provide over-the-counter assistance on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not take appointments. We cannot accept cash payments. We do not provide direct preparation of tax returns, but will assist with your specific questions. The nearest underground station is Bond Street on the Central and Jubilee lines (please see our location guide for details).  Visitors to the IRS office must now queue in the American Citizen Services line. You will need photo ID for security purposes. Please do not bring mobile phones or electronic devices, such as Blackberries, IPods, or PDAs, as they are not allowed within the Embassy. You are also strongly advised to not bring large bags, such as backpacks or suitcases. Not following this advice will result in considerable delays at the security check point.
