Calling IRS from outside the US
The IRS tells overseas taxpayers to use 267-941-1000, its International Taxpayer Service line, and marks it "not toll-free". It handles account questions such as refunds, balances due and letters about international forms. The 800-829-1040 line is meant for callers in the US (and Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Bahamas). From Hyallo both are ordinary US calls, so what you need to know is which line fits your question, not which one you can afford.
