Form 14446 (zh-s): Virtual VITA/TCE Taxpayer Consent, Simplified Chinese Version

Form 14446 (zh-s) is the Simplified Chinese version of Form 14446, Virtual VITA/TCE Taxpayer Consent. The PDF is printed in Simplified Chinese characters under the title 虚拟免费报税服务处/老年人税务咨询服务处纳税人同意书, which spells out VITA/TCE in Chinese as free tax filing service site and tax counseling for the elderly service site. The IRS lists it as the Chinese-Simplified Version, for taxpayers who read Simplified Chinese. The English edition is Form 14446.

The Chinese text says the form is needed when the face to face interview and/or quality review does not take place between the taxpayer and the VITA/TCE volunteer. The service office (服务处) fills in Part I and Part II. The taxpayer answers the review question in Part III, says whether they agree to the virtual process, and signs.
