Do I still need a US return if I live abroad?
US citizens and resident aliens generally remain subject to US tax on worldwide income. Whether a return is required depends on income, filing status and other rules. Paying foreign tax does not by itself remove the filing obligation.
Will I pay tax twice on the same income?
Foreign tax credits, exclusions and applicable treaty provisions may provide relief. Their availability and limits depend on your circumstances. We compare the relevant options rather than promising a zero tax bill.
What if I have not filed for several years?
Tell us which years were missed and whether foreign accounts or other reporting were also omitted. We assess available correction routes and streamlined eligibility before recommending a filing strategy.
Do overseas accounts need reporting if no tax is due?
They can. FBAR and Form 8938 are separate requirements with different thresholds and coverage. An account reporting obligation can exist even where the income tax return shows no tax due.
Can you help with pensions, investments or a foreign company?
Yes. Tell us what you hold and how it is owned. Foreign pensions, pooled investments and entity interests can require specialist analysis and additional forms, which are scoped separately.
When is an expat’s US return due?
Eligible taxpayers abroad generally receive an automatic two-month filing extension, usually to June 15 for a calendar-year return. Interest on unpaid federal income tax runs from the regular April due date. Further extensions and separate reports need their own review.
Does foreign self-employment still create US tax?
It can. The earned income exclusion does not eliminate self-employment tax. Social security totalization agreements may affect coverage, depending on the country and applicable certification.
Can I work with your team entirely remotely?
Yes. Begin with your country of residence, last US filing and the issue you want reviewed. We identify the records needed and the scope before preparation starts.
