Why U.S. Expats Trust Diane Siriani & Expatriate Tax Returns for Specialized Tax Services
Living abroad doesn’t exempt U.S. citizens from filing taxes—and the process can be overwhelming. That’s why Diane Siriani and the team at Expatriate Tax Returns are here to make expat tax filing clear, compliant, and stress-free.
Why Do Expats Need Specialized Tax Services?
The U.S. taxes based on citizenship, not residency. This means:
- You must file a U.S. tax return annually, no matter where you live.
- You may still owe U.S. taxes on foreign income—unless you apply key exclusions and credits.
- Filing involves complex international forms like FBAR, FATCA, Form 2555 (FEIE), and Form 1116 (FTC).
Diane Siriani’s team understands these complexities and simplifies your filing while helping you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
