Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I really have to file a U.S. tax return if I live abroad?

Yes. The U.S. taxes on citizenship, not residency. If your worldwide income exceeds the standard deduction (e.g., $15,000+ for singles in 2025/2026), you must file. We ensure you utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) to avoid paying twice. 

Americans abroad get an automatic two-month extension to June 15, 2026, to file. However, any tax owed is still due by April 15. The FBAR (FinCEN 114) is also due April 15 but has an automatic extension to October 15

We analyze whether the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) or the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) is better for your specific country. For those in high-tax regions like London or Sydney, the FTC often allows you to carry over excess credits for up to 10 years. 

Absolutely. We specialize in the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures. This “amnesty” program allows non-willful taxpayers to catch up on three years of returns and six years of FBARs while often eliminating late-filing penalties entirely. 

If the aggregate balance of all your foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any point during the year, you must file an FBAR. Even if no single account hit $10,000, the combined total is what triggers the requirement. 

Yes, but self-employed expats still owe 15.3% Social Security and Medicare tax (Self-Employment Tax) unless a Totalization Agreement applies. We help digital nomads maximize Form 2555 and housing deductions to lower their taxable base.
