Living abroad does not end your US filing obligation. US citizens and resident aliens abroad are generally subject to US tax on worldwide income, whatever country pays you and whatever tax you already paid there.
Dimov Tax handles the current-year return, the planning around it and prior-year catch-up when returns were missed. Where a separate foreign form applies, we scope that work on its own.

YEAR-ROUND SUPPORT
We prepare the federal return around your foreign and US income.
We compare the foreign earned income exclusion and the foreign tax credit where relevant. The better method can change from one year to the next.
We review foreign accounts and assets alongside the return. If you hold foreign financial accounts, you may owe a separate report to the Treasury.
California, Virginia, South Carolina and New Mexico can keep taxing you after a move abroad. Each state ends the obligation only when it accepts that you gave up your domicile there, and each weighs ties such as a home, a driver's license, voter registration and bank accounts.
We review your last state of residence and continuing ties alongside the federal return.
Current-year US return preparation for foreign wages, investments, self-employment and pensions.
Expat tax planning before a job change, retirement, large sale or international move.
Prior-year review and an eligibility check where returns or foreign reporting were missed.
As of September 2026 the IRS streamlined filing compliance procedures are open, and the eligibility rules include a requirement that the failure to file was not willful. We check that you qualify before recommending a route.
Your US return can change because of foreign salary, remote work or self-employment, even when your employer or clients are abroad. Self-employment tax can still apply abroad unless a totalization agreement covers you, claimed with a certificate of coverage.
If you own a foreign company, partnership or consulting business, you may owe reporting beyond Form 1040. We scope that work separately from the return.
We match your pensions, investments and property to the foreign tax you already paid on them. The IRS can require separate reporting for foreign pensions and foreign mutual funds, and for a foreign mutual fund that is generally a Form 8621 each year, one per fund, unless the total held is small enough to be exempt.
An expat CPA reviews the filing choices you made in earlier years alongside any change in your family, because both can affect the current return.
| US RETURN | DOUBLE-TAX RELIEF | FOREIGN REPORTING | PRIOR YEARS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Worldwide income | Credits and exclusions | Account and asset review | Missing returns |
| Current federal return | Treaty questions | Handled on separate forms | Catch-up route assessment |
| State review | Tax paid abroad | Records to retain | Back on schedule |
We add separate reporting or prior-year work only when you need it.
We work with clients all over the country as well as internationally... Our license transfers all 50 states. So don't feel constrained and say, 'Hey, I need to find something I can drive to.' Reach out and we'll let you know.
As an expat, I have worked with Dimov Tax for several years now. They make the process clear and easy and it has been a pleasure to work with them. I would certainly recommend them!
Our team includes CPAs and Enrolled Agents who work on individual returns, business taxes and tax planning. Tell us what you need help with when you get in touch.
Bring your last US return, foreign income records and anything that changed this year, such as a move, a new job or a property sale. We will separate the current-year return from expatriate tax planning, specialist reporting or prior-year work.
