Form 15080 (zh-s): Simplified Chinese Version of the VITA/TCE Consent to Disclose

Form 15080 (zh-s) is the Simplified Chinese version of the IRS consent form "Consent to Disclose Tax Return Information to VITA/TCE Tax Preparation Sites." The whole PDF is written in Simplified Chinese, so a taxpayer who reads Chinese can review the consent a VITA or TCE volunteer site offers before deciding whether to sign. The English edition is Form 15080.

The form asks the taxpayer to agree to Global Carry Forward. In English, the form says this lets TaxSlayer LLC, the VITA/TCE tax software provider, pass the return information to the volunteer sites in the IRS VITA/TCE program, so next filing season the taxpayer can pick any site that uses TaxSlayer and start from this year's data. This edition is dated October 2026 and says the consent is valid until October 30, 2028.

The form says completing it is not required to use the site's tax preparation services. The PDF can be filled out free in the browser on this page and downloaded without an account.

What's on Form 15080 (zh-s)

Federal disclosure

Says that, unless the law allows it, the site cannot share return information with third parties for anything other than preparing and filing the return without the taxpayer's consent.

Terms: Global Carry Forward

Explains how TaxSlayer LLC passes the return information to the volunteer sites in the IRS VITA/TCE program, and gives the October 30, 2028 end date.

Information covered

Lists items such as name, address, date of birth, phone number, Social Security number, filing status, occupation, employer details, income, deductions, credits and dependents' details.

Limits on duration and scope

Two statements that the taxpayer does not want an earlier end date or a narrower scope. The form says a taxpayer who does want either one will deny consent.

Consent and signatures

The consent statement, including permission for the preparer to enter a PIN, then printed name, signature and date lines for the first and second taxpayer.

TIGTA contact

A closing note with the phone number 1-800-366-4484 and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration web address for reports of improper disclosure or misconduct.

Who uses Form 15080 (zh-s)?

  • Chinese-reading taxpayers at a volunteer site

    The form says federal law requires the site to give the taxpayer this consent form, and that signing it is not needed to get the site's tax return preparation.

  • Second taxpayer

    A second line holds the second taxpayer's printed name, signature and date. The consent statements are written for "I/we, the taxpayer."

  • VITA/TCE site and preparer

    By consenting, the taxpayer lets the return preparer enter a personal identification number in the tax software on the taxpayer's behalf to confirm the consent.

  • TaxSlayer LLC

    The form names TaxSlayer LLC as the VITA/TCE tax software provider that passes the return information to participating volunteer sites.

  • Not needed for this year's site

    The form says no consent is needed for the VITA/TCE site preparing the return this year. It helps only at a different site that uses TaxSlayer next year.

The form is written by the VITA or TCE site ("we") to the taxpayer. The taxpayer reads it and decides whether to sign it at the site.
