Do I need to file US taxes if I live abroad?
Yes. US citizens must file regardless of where they live. We help you minimize or eliminate double taxation through FEIE, FTC, and tax treaties.
What's the difference between FEIE and FTC?
FEIE (Form 2555) excludes up to $132,900 of foreign earned income. FTC (Form 1116) credits foreign taxes paid against US taxes. We analyze which saves you more money.
When is the expat tax deadline?
Expats get an automatic 2-month extension to June 15, with further extensions available to October 15.
Do I need to report my foreign bank accounts?
Yes, if your combined foreign account balances exceed $10,000 at any time during the year (FBAR). Higher thresholds apply for Form 8938.
What if I haven't filed in years?
We can help with delinquent returns and IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. Contact us for a consultation.
Do you work with clients in Spain specifically?
Yes! We specialize in US-Spain taxation and understand the tax treaty, social security agreements, and Spanish tax obligations that affect US expats.
