Form 15080 (so): Somali Consent to Disclose Tax Return Information to VITA/TCE Sites

Form 15080 (so) is the Somali version of the IRS consent form that VITA/TCE tax preparation sites hand to taxpayers. The IRS listing calls it the Somalia version. Its title, "Oggolaanshaha Shaacinta Macluumaadka Soo celinta Cashuurta ee VITA/TCE Goobta Diyaarinta Cashuurta", and the rest of the text are in Somali, so a taxpayer who reads Somali can see the consent in that language. The English edition is Form 15080.

The form asks for consent to "Horusocodka Caalamiga ah" and adds the English name, Global Carry Forward, in parentheses. The form says this lets TaxSlayer LLC, the VITA/TCE tax software provider, make the taxpayer's return information available to any volunteer group in the IRS VITA/TCE program that the taxpayer chooses for next year's return. This edition is dated October 2025 (Oktoobar 2025) and says the consent runs until November 30, 2027, printed as "Nofeembar 30, 2027".

The form says filling it out is not needed to take part in the site's return preparation services. You can fill out the Somali PDF free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.

Consent terms, timing and contacts

Optional

The form says completing it is not needed to use the site's preparation services, and that a signature tied to those services makes the consent invalid.

How long it lasts

The terms say the consent runs until November 30, 2027. The federal disclosure adds that without a stated period, a consent is valid for one year from the date of signature.

PIN entry

Consenting allows the return preparer to enter the PIN in the tax preparation software on the taxpayer's behalf to confirm agreement.

Signed copy

The form says the taxpayer has the right to a signed copy.

Improper disclosure

The form gives TIGTA's phone number, 1-800-366-4484, for a taxpayer who believes return information was shared or used in a way the law does not allow or without consent.

Who uses Form 15080 (so)?

  • Taxpayers who read Somali

    The form says federal law requires that this consent form be given to the taxpayer. It also says completing it is not needed to use the site's preparation services.

  • First and second taxpayer

    One line is for the first taxpayer (canshuur bixiyaha kowaad) and one for the second (canshuur bixiyaha labaad), each with a printed name, signature and date (Taariikhda).

  • The person preparing the return

    The consent lets the return preparer enter a secret number (lambar SIREED, the PIN) in the tax software on the taxpayer's behalf to confirm agreement with the terms.

  • TaxSlayer LLC

    The form names TaxSlayer LLC as the VITA/TCE tax software provider that makes the return information available to next year's chosen volunteer group.

  • Not needed for this year's partner

    The form says consent is not needed for the VITA/TCE partner preparing the return this year. Global Carry Forward helps only at a different VITA or TCE partner using TaxSlayer next year.

The VITA or TCE site gives the form to the taxpayer, who decides whether to sign it. A second taxpayer has a separate line.
