File Your Tax Return
How does it work?
You make the initial contact either by filling out the Initial Inquiry form, by email, or via our chat room.
Once we determine your needs, we provide you with an Engagement Letter, and therein outline the services to be performed, as well as state our fees. For engagements of greater complexity we may require a retainer. If during the compilation of your return you decide to ask for additional services, we provide you with an amended Engagement Letter.
Once we receive a digitally signed Engagement Letter, you are provided with an access to your account at a secure client portal (available to you 24/7). You will create your own password to access it.
We ask you to complete a questionnaire, which, among other things, addresses specificities of expatriate taxation. You have means to easily and securely upload the completed questionnaire and relevant documents to your client portal account. The portal is maintained in collaboration with Citrix ShareFile®, a company that provides this service to tens of thousands of accounting firms in the U.S.
The return is compiled by a CPA. Whenever needed, you must be available to answer follow-up questions. Once we complete the return, we furnish a copy of the return for your review. If you are satisfied with the contents, we present you with an invoice. If you have any questions or comments, we make sure all issues are resolved. We collaborate with PayPal® in processing of payments and have no insight on your payment method.
Once the payment is processed, we will assist you in filing of the return.
Unless specific circumstances prohibit it - e.g. your spouse is not a U.S. tax resident and no election has been made to treat her (or him) as such, or if you are filing under the Streamlined Procedures - your return is filed electronically. If your return needs to be filed in paper form, we provide you with detailed filing instructions. If you are owed a refund, in most instances, the IRS will wire it directly to your bank account, providing the account is located in the U.S.
To obtain your signature that authorizes the electronic filing of your return, we utilize a knowledge based authentication application. Thus generated digital signatures are recognized by the IRS for this particular purpose.

Section 199A Qualified Business Income Deduction – How does the new law affect the expatriates?
This new law, apart from the decrease of corporate tax rates, can be considered the centerpiece of the recently passed tax legislation.
