Ready to tackle your tax questions with confidence?
We offer world class tax prep and keep our fees low.
Our fee to prepare your Federal tax return is lower than most of our competitors because we are more selective about the clients we work with.
Our clients have relatively straight forward tax profiles that do not require a lot of expensive and time consuming consultation.
Many expat tax firms offer flat fees, but they tend to be higher than ours because they have to factor in working with clients that have very complicated tax needs. We avoid those clients and we pass the savings on to you.
Who we work with (and who we don't!)
Our clients typically fall into the following categories:
- Educators working in international schools
- Employees of non profits posted overseas
- Retirees
- Digital Nomads (with FORM 1099-NEC)
We cannot help with the following:
- Self-employment income
- Deferred employee compensation e.g. stock options, restricted stock units, deferred bonus
- Income from foreign (non US) investments eg foreign mutual funds, foreign partnerships, foreign trusts or foreign profit sharing plans
- Receipt of a gift or inheritance from a foreign person of more than $100,000
- Income from a foreign (non US) pension
- Sale of foreign (non US) assets
- Self invested personal pension
