Immediately see your tax attorney who is handling your IRS issue. See if your attorney can negotiate a settlement or payment arrangements out of your income from the Taiwan job. If you owe the IRS, they consider that they own you. So see your tax atty now. You've been dealing with this tax issue without an attorney? Idiot. Now you either get a qualified tax attorney on this case instantly, or do without a job, passport, etc, and above all, without any money or assets.
2 :
The nation to which you are seeking to work in will handle the visa. The IRS could prevent you from leaving the country if they have approval, which one would think improbable in your case. Expect to work there. Especially if you make an arrangement with the IRS to repay them a small amount each month. Prepare in advance. Remember the Seven P's of the Armed Forces of the United States of America: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance.

Hi, I am working in Taiwan. Me and my wife both have the alien residence card(ARC) with multiple entry. Two months back she went to home country (India) and now she is coming back to Taiwan. What are the documents she need if any or just passport and ARC is what she need and of course air ticket :)

When we first started going to Taiwan, I was amused by the fact that my ARC (green card) was actually green. On the older-style cards, you used to have to get a "Re-entry Permit to the Republic of China" in your passport. The new style ARC cards include a re-entry permit. Your wife will only need her passport and her ARC to get into the country.

they do have a lot of hello kitty but hello kitty is from japan taiwan makes many things but they are famous for their snacks
3 :
I would say Taiwan has lots of great snacks, especially famous for their "tai yang ping" or in English Sun Biscuit. It's a little sweet, not too sure whether you would like it. And of course, there is another snack called "tie ji dan" which is some type of egg.

You can get a lot of Hello Kitty stuff for sure... BUT the coolest thing you can get are the t-shirts. They have hilarious t-shirt with bad English on them. Chinglish if you must (I mean no harm, lived in Taiwan and I love it!). I have a pic of one that says "I <3 Naked".
5 :
Your may consider Chinese Knots, Chinese Opera masks, Chinese Paper Cuts, Chinese Clligraphy & etc... Google them for more info.
6 :
Aboriginal arts and crafts make interesting souvenirs. Here's a link to some photos of finer craftswork. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jlunbeck/sets/72157611716988954/ Small hand-made products such as keychain fobs, cellphone covers, coin purses, etc. are also available. Very decorative, and representative of the earliest culture in Taiwan.

Only if it's unlocked. You should know that the current iPhone firmware does not allow for unlocking, so you might be out of luck.
