US Tax Filing for Americans Abroad

File Your US Taxes from Anywhere in the World

Living abroad doesn't change your US tax obligations — but it does make filing more complex. I handle the expat-specific forms (FEIE, Foreign Tax Credit, FBAR, FATCA) so you don't have to figure them out alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file my US taxes online from abroad?

Yes. Your entire return is prepared and e-filed electronically. There's no paper mail, no embassy visit, and no US address needed. I work with expats in 30+ countries.

What is the deadline for expats to file US taxes?

Americans abroad get an automatic extension to June 15. You can extend further to October 15 by filing Form 4868. Interest on any tax owed still starts from April 15, but there's no late-filing penalty until you miss your extended deadline.

How much does expat tax filing cost?

My Essential package starts at $450 for a standard federal return with FBAR. The Complete package at $750 includes FEIE or FTC optimization, FATCA, and multi-country income. See the full breakdown on my pricing page.

Do I need to file if I earn under the FEIE limit?

Usually yes. Even if the FEIE eliminates your tax liability, you must file a return and claim the exclusion on Form 2555. Not filing means you haven't elected the exclusion — and the IRS assumes you owe tax on the full amount.
