International Tax, Done Right.

Yes. The US is one of two countries on Earth that taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. If you're a US citizen or green card holder, you file every year — even with zero US income.

FEIE excludes up to $126,500 (2024) of earned income from US tax if you qualify. Foreign Tax Credit gives you a dollar-for-dollar credit for taxes you've paid to another country. They serve different situations — and most CPAs pick wrong. We model both before deciding.

Probably not, if it was non-willful. The IRS has Streamlined Filing Procedures specifically for this — a no-penalty catch-up program for late filers abroad. We've gotten dozens of clients fully caught up without paying a dime in penalties. Don't ignore it; the longer you wait, the worse the options get.

If you had $10,000 or more — combined, at any moment during the year — across all your foreign financial accounts, yes. That includes checking, savings, brokerage, and certain insurance products. Penalties for missing it start at $10,000 per account per year, even if you owed no tax.

Form 8938 (FATCA) is reported on your 1040, separate from FBAR. Thresholds depend on filing status and whether you live in the US or abroad — but if you have substantial foreign assets, you likely owe both forms.

Yes, FEIE works for self-employment income, but it doesn't exclude self-employment tax. We handle the full picture: SE tax, totalization treaties (which can eliminate SE tax in many countries), quarterly estimates, and entity structuring.

Yes. We file Form 1040-NR for non-resident aliens, handle ITIN applications, and apply tax treaties to reduce or eliminate US withholding. Common cases: foreign investors, remote workers paid by US companies, foreign owners of US rental property, and foreign owners of US LLCs.

If you're the only owner of a US single-member LLC and you're not a US person, the IRS treats your LLC as a "disregarded entity treated as a corporation for reporting purposes." That means you owe a pro-forma Form 1120 + Form 5472 every year, even with zero US income. The penalty for missing Form 5472 is $25,000 per year. Multi-member LLCs, C-Corps, and S-Corps have their own rules. We handle all of it.

It depends on whether your LLC has "Effectively Connected Income" (ECI) from a US trade or business. If you're selling products/services to US customers from outside the US with no US presence, often the answer is no — but the filing is still mandatory. We model your specific situation in the consult.

Yes. We get EINs for foreign-owned entities (typically 2–4 weeks via fax) and ITINs for foreign individuals through the IRS Certified Acceptance Agent process — no need to mail your passport.

Under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), almost every US LLC and corporation must file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN. Existing entities have a deadline; new entities must file within 30 days of formation. We handle BOI filings for all our entity clients.

Returns start at $695 for a basic expat 1040 + FBAR. Complex cases (multiple countries, businesses, late-filing catch-up) are quoted on a flat fee after the consult. No hourly billing surprises. The first consult is free.

Most returns are completed within 2–3 weeks of receiving your documents. Streamlined Filing Procedures take longer (3–6 weeks) because they cover multiple years.
