Filing a Tax Return Doesn’t Always Mean You Owe Taxes

 While US citizens and residents must file a federal tax return, this does not automatically mean you owe US taxes. Several tax relief options can help reduce or eliminate your tax liability, including:

• Foreign Earned Income Exclusion 
• Foreign Housing Exclusion
• Foreign Tax Credit

These tools, when applied correctly, can reduce your tax burden and help avoid double taxation.  Please contact us today to find out the option that works best for you!

Do You Need to File a State Tax Return While Living Abroad?

As a US citizen or resident, you’re likely aware that you must file a federal tax return even if you live and work abroad. But did you know that you may still need to file a state tax return as well?

Each state has its own tax laws, and the filing requirements can vary widely. This means that even if you’re exempt from federal tax due to exclusions or credits, your state may have different rules.

How to Correct Mistakes on Your Tax Return

Filing taxes can be especially complicated if you’re a US citizen or resident living abroad. If you’ve recently discovered an error on your tax return, don’t worry—it’s easy to fix. By amending your return, whether federal or state, you can rectify mistakes and ensure your tax filings are accurate.
