FrequentlyAsked Questions
What is an international/expat accountant?
They’re U.S. tax professionals (typically CPAs or EAs) who specialize in international reporting—like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, foreign tax credits, and overseas compliance rules like FBAR and FATCA.
Do I need an expat accountant if I live abroad?
Yes. As a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you must report global income. An expat accountant ensures you file correctly and avoid double taxation.
What’s the difference between FBAR and FATCA?
FBAR (FinCEN 114): Reports foreign accounts over $10K FATCA (Form 8938): Reports foreign assets if you meet IRS thresholds
Both may be required—even with no U.S. tax due.

How do international tax treaties work?
Treaties between the U.S. and 60+ countries help reduce or eliminate double taxation. Accountants use Form 8833 to properly claim these benefits.

You may qualify for the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures, which let you catch up without penalties. A qualified accountant can guide you through it.
