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.
