Full Title:

Latest Revision: October 2025
What Is IRS Form 15080 Portuguese Used For?
This form is not mandatory to receive free tax preparation services at a VITA or TCE site. Instead, it is a voluntary consent that allows your tax return information to be shared through the Global Carry Forward feature in TaxSlayer software.
The Global Carry Forward allows your prior-year tax data (from 2025 taxes, for example) to automatically populate into next year’s tax return at any VITA/TCE site across the United States that uses TaxSlayer — even if it’s a completely different location.
Why Do VITA/TCE Sites Ask for This Form?
Many VITA/TCE sites now use TaxSlayer software. If you plan to use free tax help again next year at a different site, signing Form 15080 makes the process much faster by automatically carrying forward your personal information, dependents, income, deductions, and credits.
What Tax Information Will Be Disclosed?
If you sign the form, the following information may be disclosed:
- Full name, address, date of birth, phone number, and SSN/ITIN
- Filing status and occupation
- Employer name and address
- All income sources and amounts
- Deductions and tax credits claimed
- Names, SSNs, dates of birth, and relationship of all dependents
Important Warnings (Read Carefully)
- Once you consent, federal law may not protect your tax return information from further use or distribution by the recipient.
- You are not required to sign this form to get your taxes prepared this year.
- If a site makes signing this form mandatory to receive services, the consent is invalid.
- Consent is valid through November 30, 2027 (the longest allowed period).
How to Fill Out Form 15080PT?
- Read the full disclosure carefully.
- Print your name and sign (both primary and spouse if filing jointly).
- Enter the date.
- You have the right to ask for a signed copy of the form.
The volunteer will then enter a PIN in the TaxSlayer software to record your consent.
