Good to Know
What most Americans abroad don’t know about their taxes
This is not about fear. It is about clarity. Knowing these puts you ahead.
You Still File, But You Probably Won’t Owe
Most Americans abroad are still required to file a U.S. tax return, but that does not mean you owe anything. Most expats qualify for exclusions and credits that eliminate the bill entirely. The key is knowing which ones apply to your situation.
FILED
$0
OWED
The FBAR
If your foreign bank accounts total more than $10,000 at any point during the year, you are required to file a separate report called an FBAR, completely separate from your tax return. Most people have never heard of it. It is a straightforward filing once you know it exists.
FBAR
$10K+
THRESHOLD
Two Strategies, One Right Answer
Most expats qualify for both the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and the Foreign Tax Credit, but they work differently and cannot always be combined. Choosing the right one for your situation can save thousands. It is one of the most common things we help people sort out.

You Found Out Too Late. It’s Not Too Late.
Many Americans abroad go years without filing, not out of intent, but because nobody told them they had to. The IRS has a formal procedure designed specifically for this situation. If you come forward before the IRS contacts you, catching up is far more manageable than most people fear. This is one of the most common things we help with, and there is a real path through it.

Why TaxJet
Not software. Not a bot.
A real expert in your corner.
Big platforms put you on autopilot. International tax is not a form. It is your financial life. You need someone who actually reads your situation.
We specialize in international, only.
Foreign income, overseas bank accounts, tax treaties and catching up on missed years. International is our whole focus, not a side service bolted onto domestic tax prep.
Plain English, always.
We explain what is happening and why. No jargon. No forms handed to you without explanation.
Works the way you work.
We handle the details. You handle your life. Simple, secure document sharing, with clear instructions every step of the way.
A credential most tax firms don’t have.
A Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) on your return means someone who knows what the IRS looks for, what irregularities look like, and how to protect you. Most expat tax services don’t have one.
“As an immigrant, my overseas assets create a recurring tax headache. Renee is an expert who brings clarity and calm, helping me see the best path forward. She is proactive, thoughtful, and a great listener, genuinely curious about my story. I trust her completely and love working with her.”
Paul L., Redmond, WA / Japan
Pricing
Clear pricing. No surprises.
Based on your situation’s complexity, not the number of forms. Most clients fall into one of these three plans.
Quick & Simple
From $350
For budget nomads who need it done fast: W-2 income, one country, one state return and no foreign accounts.
The Real Work
From $750
For established nomads and expats with foreign income, self-employment, more than one country, or foreign accounts. Includes Schedules B, C and D, the foreign income exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit, and the FBAR for up to 5 accounts (+$50 per additional 3).
The Heavy Stuff
From $1,500
For missed years, IRS notices, part-ownership of a corporation or partnership, foreign pensions, trusts or funds, or giving up citizenship. These situations need a conversation first, so tell us what’s going on and we’ll schedule a call.
