Expat CPA Tax connects Americans abroad with experienced US expat-tax professionals and publishes plain-English guidance on the obligations that trip expats up: filing Form 1040 from overseas, FBAR, FATCA, and Streamlined catch-up if you are behind.
Who prepares your return
Preparation is handled by Capital Tax Limited, a CPA-led firm focused on US citizens and green-card holders abroad. Your inquiry is reviewed by US CPAs and IRS Enrolled Agents with decades of expat-tax experience, part of a global network that has helped thousands of Americans abroad get and stay compliant. This site does not prepare or file returns itself; it routes serious inquiries to those professionals.
Who we help
US citizens and green-card holders living outside the United States who still have US federal filing obligations, whether you are current and want it done right, or years behind and need a way to catch up. The work covers:
- US expat tax returns: Form 1040, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, the Foreign Tax Credit, and treaty analysis
- FBAR (FinCEN 114) and FATCA (Form 8938) reporting
- Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures for non-willful late filers
We also publish country-specific guidance for Americans in dozens of countries, covering the local US tax treaty, totalization (Social Security) rules, retirement-account treatment, and the mistakes expats actually make. See the country guides.
