Have You Filed Your US Tax Returns?
US Expat Deadline
Why Act Now?
It is important to understand your US tax obligations. The Internal Revenue Service now has a number of ways to find Americans living outside the US who are not reporting income or foreign bank accounts as well as Americans living in the US who invest internationally.
Did you receive a bank letter? Your banks and other financial institutions are now required, through FATCA legislation, to report the personal details of American clients to the IRS tax or local authority.
The IRS developed a system to actively locate non-compliant Americans wherever they are in the world.
If you are not compliant, your US passport can be revoked or you can be denied renewal.
Rewards are still being offered to anyone who turns in a non-compliant US person to the authorities.

Andrew’s current focus is on the US and international tax aspects associated with non-US trusts and their US beneficiaries; specifically planning to meet the complex US income tax compliance and informational reporting associated with such trusts.
As the US tax system has become more and more complex, Andrew also assists those US taxpayers who wish to give up their US citizenship while minimizing the impact of the confiscatory Exit Tax now imposed on expatriation.
Andrew holds an LL.M. from Southern Methodist University, a J.D. from the University of Oklahoma and a B.A. from the University of Kansas. He is a licensed attorney in the state of Oklahoma.
