Over FileAbroad

Hallo, ik ben Chip Moreno

Ik ben een Amerikaan die in Cuenca, Ecuador woont. Ik heb FileAbroad — de Amerikaanse belastingvoorbereidingsservice geassocieerd met EcuaPass — opgericht om andere Amerikanen in het buitenland te helpen hun Amerikaanse belastingverplichtingen na te komen met een duidelijke scope, directe communicatie en gepubliceerde prijzen.

I have passed Part 1 of the IRS Special Enrollment Examination. I am not yet an Enrolled Agent, and this exam result is not presented as a professional credential.
Over FileAbroad

Waarom ik FileAbroad heb Opgericht

  1. 01

    Living abroad makes ordinary tax questions more layered. A foreign address can change deadlines; foreign accounts can create separate reporting; and FEIE, the Foreign Tax Credit, state residency, and local tax questions do not resolve one another.

  2. 02

    FileAbroad turns those questions into a documented scope. Every accepted client works directly with me. I prepare the forms and filings included in the engagement—such as FEIE, Foreign Tax Credit, FBAR, or FATCA reporting—with the scope confirmed before preparation begins.

  3. 03

    I also know the practical friction: time zones, foreign bank statements, missing records, and the difference between a U.S. filing question and a local-tax question. When the facts require legal, audit, entity, or local-country advice, the right answer is a referral—not a vague promise that one preparer can do everything.

Over FileAbroad

Achtergrond

IRS PTIN Holder

Registered with the IRS as a paid tax return preparer. A PTIN is a preparer identifier, not a CPA, EA, or attorney credential.

IRS E-file Participant

FileAbroad participates in the IRS e-file program for accepted federal returns. This is not an IRS endorsement, and the private EFIN is never displayed publicly.

Computer Science Degree

Technical background that drives the systems and automation behind FileAbroad.

Based in Cuenca, Ecuador

Living the expat life firsthand. I deal with the same cross-border tax questions my clients face.

Clear Scope and Direct Accountability

You work directly with Chip, with flat-fee deliverables explained before payment. Audit representation and legal work are outside the standard engagement scope.
