What I Offer

Comprehensive Expat Tax Services

From straightforward returns to complex international reporting, I provide the guidance you need to stay compliant and minimize your tax burden.

Individual Tax Returns

Complete preparation of your U.S. federal tax return, including all required forms for foreign income reporting and claiming applicable credits.

FBAR Filing

Report your foreign bank accounts with FinCEN Form 114. I ensure accurate reporting of all qualifying foreign financial accounts.

FATCA Compliance

Form 8938 preparation for reporting specified foreign financial assets. Stay compliant with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act requirements.

Foreign Tax Credit

Maximize your foreign tax credits to avoid double taxation. I calculate the optimal way to offset taxes paid to foreign governments.

Foreign Earned Income Exclusion

Qualify and claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555) to exclude eligible foreign earnings from U.S. taxation.

State Tax Guidance

Understand your state tax obligations while living abroad. Some states continue to tax former residents, and I can help you navigate this.

Why FileAbroad Exists

The expat tax industry is broken. I built FileAbroad to fix it.

When I moved to Ecuador, I watched friends either overpay big firms $1,500+ for straightforward returns — or skip filing entirely out of confusion and fear. DIY tax software doesn't handle Form 2555 or FBAR, so the "cheap option" isn't really an option.

FileAbroad is the alternative: flat-fee pricing, one person handling your return start to finish, and expat-specific expertise — FEIE, Foreign Tax Credit, FBAR, FATCA, and Streamlined catch-ups. I live abroad myself, so I deal with the same cross-border questions my clients do.

I'm not a CPA, and I'm upfront about that — I'm an EA Candidate (Part 1 of 3 passed) with a PTIN. Enrolled Agents are the IRS-specific credential for tax representation, and I'm working toward the full license. More about my background →

Flat-fee pricing

Essential $575, Complete $1,100, Streamlined $1,500. Published on the site. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Direct access, not a call center

You work with me — the person who files your return. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me, and it stays open after filing.

Expat-exclusive practice

I only handle expat returns. FEIE, FBAR, FATCA, and Streamlined catch-ups are all I do — not a sideline to domestic tax work.

Built for the expat calendar

June 15 expat extension, October 15 FBAR, quarterly estimates — tracked automatically. I work across time zones and answer on weekends during filing season.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about filing U.S. taxes from abroad.

Yes. The United States taxes its citizens on their worldwide income, regardless of where they live. Even if you earn all your income overseas, you are still required to file a U.S. tax return if your income exceeds the standard filing threshold. Failing to file can result in penalties and complications with your passport.
