Why Expatriate Tax Returns Exists

 

Watch just one episode of Shark Tank, featuring entrepreneur Sharks like Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, and Kevin O’Leary, and you’ll immediately understand that every company has a reason for existing. In fact, one of the first questions the Sharks ask contestants on the hit reality TV show is for them to ask their mission and vision. This is a question that our company, Expatriate Tax Returns, takes very seriously.

We are a purpose-driven company. That means that our reason for existing is based on what we see as our purpose. Our mission as an online tax consultancy is to specifically assist the segment of the population known as American expatriates. We do this by preparing the U.S. tax returns of expats in a highly skilled and professional way. At Expatriate Tax Returns, we believe that the specific tax returns that American expats have to prepare are very challenging and time-consuming. Our goal is to alleviate the stress that often comes with expat tax preparation.

How did we come to understand our mission? We believe that there was a missing piece in tax prep in our country. Private CPA firms and large accounting companies were not focusing any attention on the expat population. We saw that missing piece as an opportunity. We believe we’re solving a problem and, in doing so, we found our niche. Expatriate Tax Returns has created a solution to the problem of challenging expatriate taxes.

Our mission is the reason we exist. We are here to help you — American expats who live and work abroad but are still responsible to pay U.S. taxes. We are dedicated to this mission and we love what we do. Call us today at 877-382-9123. We want to serve you.

 

More Expats as the World Gets Smaller

 

Globalization is defined as “the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.” Globalization has made the borders between countries virtually disappear, causing the world to feel like a much smaller place. This undoubtedly has contributed to a rise in workers choosing to move abroad and become expatriates.

The vast increase in expatriates, however, hasn’t led to it being any easier to become an expat. In addition to the typical demands placed on you as you plan to relocate to a foreign country, there is a host of challenging decisions to make and financial responsibilities.

United States tax laws have long been a burden on American expats. For this reason, Expatriate Tax Returns was launched. Our team of CPAs recognized that focusing on expatriate tax returns was necessary as this had quickly become its own field of accounting. Expat taxes are confusing and preparing them is a frustration that expatriates do not want to have to burden amidst the many other challenges facing them as expatriates.

With the growth of globalization has come the surge in technological advances. While this technological innovation has made so many things easier (like finding our company on the web!), it hasn’t caused expatriate tax return filing to be any easier or less of a hassle. Americans living abroad must file their United States tax returns in an exacting way and this can be terribly complicated (especially for a new American expat). To make this process easier and to save you precious time, the tax experts at Expatriate Tax Returns are here to handle that responsibility on your behalf.

Contact our team of expat CPAs today and then you can trust us to take care of everything. Simply fill out the form on our homepage or call us at 877-382-9123 and we’ll get the process started for you. We have your best interests in mind. The world may be getting smaller and becoming an expat may be more common, but expatriate tax returns will always be a reality.

The Big Move Means Big Decisions

Now is the time of year that many big corporations are discussing HR changes for the fall. If you’re involved in these discussions, you could soon be contemplating a big move overseas.

If you plan to move abroad this year, it will be an exciting and challenging time. There are many factors to consider like what your spouse will do overseas and where your kids will go to school. There are also a plethora of opportunities and experiences to look forward to as an American expatriate. After accepting a new job overseas or a job transfer to a country outside the United States, it’s important to create a long “To Do List” with critical items like finding a place to live, forwarding mail, and finding a physician in your new country. Selecting a trustworthy and dependable CPA firm with experience working with expats is also essential.

Expatriate Tax Returns has many years of tax planning and preparation experience, specifically for expats. We put that knowledge to work for you — our clients. It’s critical to inform the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that you are moving abroad and to call our accounting team to make sure you’re prepared before you make the big move.

A few things to remember before you become an expat: update your contact information with the IRS so they can properly send your refund or any future correspondence. You can update your address with the IRS by completing Form 8822, Change of Address at any time during the year. Failure to notify the IRS of an address change can be costly. For example, it can keep you from contesting a lien for unpaid taxes. At Expatriate Tax Returns, we understand that planning for the big move abroad is challenging and there are already so many things to think about. We can help you alleviate the stress by walking you through this journey hand-in-hand. We’ve helped thousands of U.S. expatriates successfully transition to their new country and we’ll help you too.

No matter where you are in the process of your preparation for becoming an expat, call us for trusted, professional assistance. There are some many wonderful advantages to being an expatriate, but it’s also a time full of important decisions to make. Here’s an easy one: Call ExpatriateTaxReturns.com today at 877-382-9123 or fill out the form on our Website. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

Meghan Markle, World-Famous American Expatriate Now

The month of December brings with it reflections on the past year and thoughts about the year to come. This is certainly true for actress Meghan Markle, known for her role as Rachel Zane on the TV series “Suits.” Markle recently announced her engagement to Prince Harry and the news broke the Internet. The couple will be married next spring in London in front of Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and the whole world.

The Los Angeles-born Meghan Markle has spent time living in Toronto while filming her television show “Suits.” This means that she already has some experience as an American expat, but her move to London and into the British Royal Family will certainly be a much larger change. As the actress Markle has announced she’ll maintain dual citizenship, she must continue to pay expatriate taxes. This soon-to-be British Royal is facing many of the same questions you will as an American expatriate.

There are many factors to consider when moving to another country outside of the U.S. There are different cultural norms, different financial statutes and often a language barrier. You must also remain responsible for any U.S. taxes owed. Expatriate tax returns are a complicated, specialized field of tax preparation.

All aspects of our tax system are currently being debated by Congress in Washington and there are no guarantees what your tax forms will look like in 2018 and beyond. For this reason, our online company, Expatriate Tax Returns, exists. You may not be a future princess of the British Royal Family, but our team of dedicated and talented CPAs will treat you like you are royalty.

Your Referrals Are Appreciated

A recent study by McKinsey showed how important it is for CPA firms to acquire new clients through the referrals of current clients. At Expatriate Tax Returns, this is something we’ve known since our inception. We rely on the referrals from our hundreds of satisfied clients. While we love receiving thank you notes and testimonials, we really appreciate getting referrals from our expat clients.

When we get a referral it shows how much our client recognizes our top notch service. We know that American expatriates depend on each other’s recommendations because it’s often confusing becoming an expatriate. When an American citizen and his/her family moves abroad for a period of time becoming an expat, they are looking for suggestions when it comes to everything from where to do grocery shopping to the best pediatrician. It’s also essential that expatriates know whom to trust for preparing their tax returns. This is why Expatriate Tax Returns is eager to receive more referrals from our current clients.

ExpatriateTaxReturns.com Expatriate Tax Returns Referral Program

Expatriate Tax Returns is excited to announce our new Referral Program. We will give current clients a 20% discount off their 2017 tax returns for each referral they send to us (new client must pay for tax return preparation). There is no limit to how many discounts you can receive!

We thank you in advance for your referrals and remind you that October 15 is the final day to file an extension. To refer a colleague or friend, please use the Contact form on our website.

We Educate American Expatriates 

When you become an expat and move outside of the United States for your new job in another country, you will have many questions about your expatriate status. No matter how much research you did as you prepared to move to Dubai, Shanghai, London, Paris, Tel Aviv or Sydney, you’ll still not be totally prepared for this new phase in your personal and professional life.

The staff of Expatriate Tax Returns considers ourselves to be educators. We see our role to not only prepare expat tax returns for our clients, but to also educate our clients about what it means to be an American expatriate. There are many benefits, but also several responsibilities for American citizens who are living and working abroad. It’s a wonderful experience to be an expat, but there are certain things you must remember to do each year.
