Got Questions About US Expat Taxes? We’ve Got Answers.
Who needs to file US taxes as an expat?
All US citizens and green card holders must file taxes annually, regardless of where they live, if their income exceeds the filing threshold.
What is the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)?
The FEIE allows expats to exclude a portion of their foreign-earned income (up to $120,000 for 2024) from US taxable income, provided they meet certain residency tests.
Do I still need to report foreign bank accounts?
Yes, if your foreign bank accounts exceed $10,000 at any point during the year, you must file an FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) to comply with FATCA regulations.
What happens if I haven’t filed my expat taxes?
You may be eligible for the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, which help bring you into compliance without significant penalties.
How do tax treaties impact expats?
Tax treaties can help prevent double taxation by outlining how specific income types are taxed between the US and the foreign country. We help you navigate these treaties effectively.
How much does expat tax preparation cost?

How do US expats pay taxes?
US expats pay taxes by filing their annual federal tax return with the IRS, just like residents in the US. Depending on their income and financial situation, expats may also need to report foreign income, claim deductions like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), or file additional forms for foreign bank accounts (FBAR). Payments can be made online through the IRS website, by mail, or via a tax professional.
How much does a tax advisor cost in the US?
The cost of a tax advisor varies based on the complexity of your tax situation. For expats, fees typically range from $300 to $1,000 or more, depending on the forms required, the advisor’s experience, and the level of service provided. Customized quotes are often offered during a consultation.
Do US expats get tax refunds?
Yes, US expats are eligible for tax refunds if they overpay their taxes or qualify for certain refundable credits. Refunds may result from claiming the Foreign Tax Credit, FEIE, or other tax credits such as the Child Tax Credit. A tax professional can help ensure all eligible refunds are claimed.
What happens if an expat doesn’t pay US taxes?
If a US expat doesn’t pay taxes, they may face penalties, interest on unpaid taxes, and potential loss of passport privileges under certain conditions. Non-compliance can also trigger audits or enforcement actions by the IRS. However, the IRS offers programs like the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures to help expats become compliant without severe penalties.
