Today on Writer Adventures, I made my third attempt to get a French tax form signed and stamped by the US Internal Revenue Service! I know, I know, being a professional author is such a glamorous job. :-)
The form is basically a treaty document that certifies I’m a US taxpayer, so the French authorities won’t deduct French income tax from the amount I’m owed by a French publisher that bought the rights to some of my books. My previous attempts included asking my accountant what to do (he had no clue), and trying to contact the I.R.S. to ask them by phone and also by searching their website. Having turned up no helpful information and also having failed to get a human being on the phone, today I turned to my last resort, going to the I.R.S. offices in Boston’s Government Center.
