Questions
International Tax FAQ
Who needs to file an FBAR?
US persons with foreign financial accounts exceeding $10,000 in aggregate at any point in the year must file — and the penalties for missing it are severe, starting at $10,000 per violation.
Can I be taxed twice on foreign income?
You shouldn't be. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, Foreign Tax Credit and applicable treaties exist to prevent double taxation — applied correctly, they protect your income.
Do you handle expatriate and non-resident returns?
Yes — expatriate returns and Form 1040NR for non-resident aliens are core specialties, alongside foreign-entity and treaty analysis.
I haven't reported foreign accounts in past years. What now?
Don't wait for the IRS to find them. We assess your exposure and the available disclosure paths to bring you compliant on the best possible terms.
