Zenith Tax & Accounting LLC provides specialized U.S. expat tax services for Americans living in Singapore, helping expatriates remain compliant with complex IRS reporting through tax return preparation, FBAR filing, FATCA reporting, and strategic international tax planning.
Singapore operates a territorial tax system, but the United States taxes based on citizenship. This means Americans in Singapore must report worldwide income to the IRS even if they pay taxes locally to IRAS. Our firm bridges this gap, ensuring your financial success in Asia is protected.
Qualified expats can exclude over $130,000 of foreign earned income using Form 2555 to significantly reduce U.S. tax liability.
For taxes paid to IRAS, we apply Foreign Tax Credits (Form 1116) to prevent double taxation on your Singapore-based earnings.
The answer: Yes — absolutely.
All U.S. citizens and Green Card holders in Singapore must file annual returns, reporting salary, self-employment income, and foreign investments. Failure to report accounts at banks like DBS, OCBC, or UOB can result in penalties exceeding $10,000. Many Americans in Singapore search for a U.S. tax CPA near them who understands both IRS and local IRAS reporting requirements.

Yes. The United States taxes based on citizenship rather than residency, meaning U.S. citizens must file tax returns regardless of where they live. However, many Americans in Singapore reduce or eliminate U.S. tax liability using the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credits.
Yes. If the combined balance of your foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year, you must file an FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) reporting accounts held at banks such as DBS, OCBC, or UOB.
Americans living abroad receive an automatic filing extension until June 15, although taxes owed must still be paid by April 15 to avoid interest.
Yes. Certain foreign financial assets may require disclosure under FATCA reporting (Form 8938) depending on account value thresholds.
