Common Questions on Global Tax Compliance.
Global Tax Compliance FAQs
What is the FBAR and do I need to file it?
The FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) is required if the total value of all your foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. It is a separate filing from your tax return and carries significant penalties for non-compliance.
How do I avoid paying taxes in two different countries?
We utilize the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) and various international tax treaties to ensure you receive credit for taxes paid to a foreign government, effectively preventing double taxation on the same income.
Can I still claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion if I am a digital nomad?
Yes, provided you meet either the Physical Presence Test or the Bona Fide Residence Test. We analyze your travel logs and residency status to determine your eligibility and maximize your exclusion.
What is the difference between FBAR and FATCA?
While both involve reporting foreign assets, FBAR is filed with FinCEN and focuses on bank accounts, while FATCA (Form 8938) is filed with the IRS and covers a broader range of financial assets with higher reporting thresholds.
Do I have to file a U.S. return if I have lived abroad all year?
Yes, the U.S. taxes on citizenship, not residency. If you are a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder, you are required to file a federal return regardless of where you live, provided your income meets the filing threshold.
Can you help me get caught up if I haven't filed for several years?
Absolutely. We specialize in streamlined filing compliance procedures designed to help expats come back into good standing with the IRS without facing the standard failure-to-file penalties.
