U.S. Expat & Foreign Income Tax Experts

Living abroad or earning income from foreign sources brings unique U.S. tax obligations. As an American citizen or resident, you must file a U.S. tax return and report worldwide income. This remains a requirement even if you utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) or various Foreign Tax Credits (FTC) to reduce your federal liability.

Dark Horse CPAs specialize in expat tax preparation , compliance, and global planning. We help you navigate complex IRS mandates, including FBAR and FATCA reporting, to prevent double taxation and ensure total cross-border compliance. Regardless of where you live or work, our experts provide the clarity needed to manage your global financial footprint.
