Taxes
Americans are still required to file & pay US Federal and State Income Tax. Depending on how you (arch)diocese reports your stipends, etc. as income will determine which tax forms you will need. You can efile taxes online (with services like TurboTax). You can contact an accountant, H&R Block Representative, or the IRS for proper forms and details.
It may be helpful to have information from previous tax returns, etc.
Canadians should make inquiries with Revenue Canada and make arrangements for their tax return to be filed by proxy in Canada, or they should plan on doing their taxes in Rome.
Voting
If you plan to vote in the November 2012 elections, make sure that you request an absentee ballot. Absentee ballots can be mailed to your Vatican City address here. Many jurisdictions have a website which explains the absentee ballot procedures.
In the United States, the Federal Voting Assistance Program helps Americans register for absentee ballots.
