HOW WE PREPARE YOUR TAX RETURN:

       When you contact us to prepare your return, it makes no difference where you live in the world. We will send you by fax or email a complete tax return questionnaire specially designed for expatriate U.S. Citizens and written to help you utilize the many special expatriate tax laws. 

We are always available for respond to your questions by email, fax or phone.  While we prepare your return, most often we contact you several times with questions or suggestions. When the return is completed, we will forward it to you by DHL, Federal Express, mail or as an email attachment over the internet.  Often we can provide you with suggestions  and recommendations to improve your tax or financial situation and how to coordinate your US tax return with your foreign business.

        Our simple expat return preparation rates begin at $500 and  up depending on the complexity of your personal return.  Contact us for  a personal fee quote.  If many past years returns are required, a bulk discount may be available if you have all returns prepared by us. Remember, if you do not file a tax return for any year, the statute of limitations for collections of taxes for those years never expires!  That means the IRS can show up 10 years from now and legally assess taxes for all years in which you failed to file tax returns. If you file a tax return, the statute of limitations expires 3 years after the date it is filed.  If a return is not filed for any particular year, the statue of limitations will remain open allowing the IRS to assess taxes for that year against you forever.
