Expatriate Tax Returns

Tax

Our Expatriate Clients are First & Foremost

Have you noticed that in our society, taking responsibility isn’t what it used to be? Too many service related companies have made customer service a low priority. At Expatriate Tax Returns, we put our clients first and their tax needs are foremost for all of our tax professionals.

While some service related companies try to shift the blame, we take responsibility. When it comes to tax preparation, taking responsibility is the utmost principle. Our professionals take their responsibility to our clients, who are living abroad, very seriously and we understand the trust our clients place in us can never be taken lightly. As expats, your tax returns are your own responsibility, but you have placed the trust in us to prepare them efficiently and effectively.

Expatriate Tax Returns

Our team of tax experts feels that sense of responsibility for your tax returns. We are cognizant that you have a responsibility to the U.S. government to file your expatriate tax returns in a timely manner. When we all place value on being responsible, we are all successful. Your tax returns to the U.S. are filed and paid on time, and we maintain the trust that you have placed in us.

It’s not easy for American citizens to relocate to another nation, far from home, and we understand this. We take it as our responsibility to ensure you understand the Foreign Tax Credit, your rights as an American expatriate, and that you are reminded of the IRS deadlines for tax filing.

No matter where in this world you currently live and work, the expatriate tax laws must be respected. It can certainly be a hassle to have to file these taxes each year, but we thank you for placing that trust in us and know that we will honor and respect your trust by serving you to the best of our ability at all times. This is the cornerstone of what we stand for at Expatriate Tax Returns — your expatriate tax professionals. Call us today at (877) 382-9123.

Love and Marriage: An Expat Married to a Non-U.S. Citizen

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Tax Life Can Be Complicated When You’re Married to a Non-U.S. Citizen” looked at the difficulty many American expatriates have when they are married to a spouse who doesn’t have United States citizenship. As if it wasn’t challenging enough to be an American citizen living and working abroad with Expat Taxes, these expats face an additional layer of complexity when they file their taxes.

 

 

The first question the article addressed is whether these expats should they file “married jointly” or separately. At Expatriate Tax Returns, we know that many of our clients faced this same confusion. There are advantages and disadvantages to the way you file, so it’s important to know what makes the most sense for you. There are significanttax implications for either situation.

Many expats need to know whether they can put bank accounts in the name of a foreign spouse and whether it is worth it to do this. Many of our clients also ask us about the Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR), which was introduced by the IRS to battle offshore tax avoidance. The FBAR requires you, as a U.S. citizen abroad, to reportfinancial accounts held abroad. Additionally, you’ll want help determining whether your non-U.S. citizen spouse’s income should be included in your tax return. There also might tax implications based on how you file as it could move you into a higher tax bracket.

A lot of evaluation is required to know how best to handle the situation of an American expatriate filing expat taxes when married to a non-U.S. citizen who is also living and working outside of the United States. The best way to handle this is to allow tax professionals to handle these variables. At ExpatriateTaxReturns.com, no client is treated with a cookie cutter. We look at each client’s needs and situation before evaluating how best to handle their tax preparation and filing. The topic of expat taxes is always complicated, but we have the years of experience to handle it in the most professional, thorough and successful manner. Trust the professionals.

Expat Tax Rules Can Be Confusing

It’s March and that means we’re still at the beginning of the new year, but we’re already seeing some changes to the tax laws for U.S. expats. It seems that the IRS creates new rules and regulations every year when it comes to expatriate taxes.

It can be a full-time job just to keep up with all of the different rules for preparing your expat tax returns. That’s why the professionals at Expatriate Tax Returns are here to handle that for you. The rules for expat tax filing are confusing and require experience.
Having a tax professional with specific expertise in U.S. expatriate tax law is truly the best way to handle this. The tax pros at ExpatriateTaxReturns.com has been helping American citizens living overseas for many years and makes it a top priority to discover and master the new tax laws that are changed each year.
For example, it’s essential to know the current tax year’s policy on U.S. expat foreign bank, financial and asset reporting. Over the years there have been huge increases in the number of audits of U.S. expatriates due to the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) discoveries of inaccurate claims by expats. It’s important to report all foreign assets and income in your tax filing.
Don’t be confused or stressed over your expatriate taxes. Let us take the hassle out of the process and you’ll be glad you did. Call us today to get started and rest assured that your expatriate tax returns will be in good hands. Call our support hotline toll-free at 877-382-9123.

expatriate tax returns

The 4th of July, no matter where an expat is currently residing and working, is cause for celebration. Sometimes we’ve noticed that our expat clients can feel homesick on U.S. holidays like the 4th of July, but we encourage all expats to celebrate Independence Day. Regardless of where you live in the world, you’re an American citizen and our nation’s independence day commemoration is still your holiday. It is a day on which we give thanks for our freedom and our liberties. What comes with those rights of course is the responsibility to pay income taxes.

So as we approach the 238th year of the United States of America’s independence, let us all be thankful for this amazing country — no matter where you are living today. Happy 4th of July from Diane Siriani and everyone at ExpatriateTaxReturns.com.
