I run a small consulting company and TS CPA truly feels like a key addition to my team. They pretty much handle everything such as tax compliance and filings, payroll, bookkeeping, and tax planning so I don't have to stress about it. The team is incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with.

TS CPA was fast, professional, and super easy to work with. Clark really knows his stuff. He caught mistakes in my original return, helped me file an amended tax return, and got everything corrected the right way. Best part, I ended up getting money back.

I've worked with Clark at TS CPA for several years now and he's always been exceptional. He's handled standard yearly taxes, estimated taxes, and complex AMT calculations. He's incredibly thorough, and always takes time to clearly explain my returns.

Expat Tax Mistakes That Cost Thousands

Penalties for unfiled expat returns can exceed $10,000 per year

Worried About Double Taxation

You pay taxes in your host country and do not want to pay again to the U.S.

Our Fix

Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116) or Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555). We pick the optimal strategy for your situation.

Missed Filing While Abroad

You did not realize U.S. citizens owe taxes worldwide and have not filed for years.

Our Fix

Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures catch up on 3 years of returns and 6 years of FBARs, usually with zero penalties.

Physical Presence vs. Bona Fide Residence

You do not know which FEIE qualification you meet, or if you meet any.

Our Fix

We analyze your day counts, tax home, and ties, then pick the qualification test that saves you the most.

Foreign Housing Too Expensive

You live in Tokyo, London, or Singapore and FEIE does not cover the full compensation.

Our Fix

Foreign Housing Exclusion and Deduction stack with FEIE to cover expensive overseas locations.

U.S. State Still Claims You

California, New York, or Virginia insists you still owe state taxes even though you left.

Our Fix

State domicile analysis and sever-of-ties documentation to end residency claims cleanly.

Self-Employed Abroad

Freelancing or consulting from another country facing self-employment tax on top of foreign taxes.

Our Fix

Totalization agreement analysis and SE tax strategies. Most treaty countries let you avoid U.S. SE tax.

FAQ

Common Questions

Still have questions? Call us at (832) 304-9959

Do U.S. citizens living abroad have to file U.S. taxes?
Yes. The U.S. is one of only two countries (with Eritrea) that taxes its citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. If you are a U.S. citizen or green card holder and your income exceeds the filing threshold (approximately $13,850 for single filers in 2024), you must file a U.S. return every year.
What is the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)?
The FEIE (Form 2555) lets qualifying expats exclude up to $130,000 of foreign earned income from U.S. tax in 2026. You must meet either the Physical Presence test (330 days abroad in a 12-month period) or the Bona Fide Residence test (established residency in a foreign country).
Should I use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit?
It depends on your income level, host country tax rate, and long-term plans. High-tax countries (UK, Germany, France, Japan): Foreign Tax Credit usually wins. Low-tax or zero-tax countries (UAE, Singapore, Bahamas): FEIE usually wins. Above $130,000 income: usually both. We run the optimization.
What is the expat tax filing deadline?
U.S. citizens abroad automatically get a 2-month extension to June 15. Additional extension to October 15 is available with Form 4868. Taxes owed are still due April 15 to avoid interest. We prepare preliminary estimates in advance.
I have not filed U.S. taxes in years. What do I do?
The Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures are designed exactly for this. You file the last 3 years of returns and 6 years of FBARs together, certify non-willfulness, and usually pay zero penalties. We handle these cases routinely.
Do I still owe state taxes after moving abroad?
Depends on your state of former residence. California, New York, and Virginia are aggressive about claiming continued residency. We do a domicile analysis, document severance of ties, and file a final state return to end the relationship cleanly.
How much does expat tax preparation cost?
Standard expat return with FEIE or FTC starts at $550. More complex returns (self-employment, rental property abroad, multi-country income) typically range $850 to $1,500. Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures range $2,500 to $5,000. Free same-day quote.
