Why choose our US expat tax services
Tax return preparation for US expats
Get accurate, on-time US tax return preparation from an experienced CPA or EA. We help Americans across Brazil – from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to smaller cities – file entirely online.
Streamlined Procedure
Haven’t filed US taxes from Brazil? Our CPA-led team can help eligible taxpayers catch up on missed filings through the Streamlined Procedure and restore US tax compliance. Qualifying taxpayers may receive relief from specified penalties.
Tax planning & consulting
Get tax advice tailored to your life in Brazil. Our US tax consultants help with Brazilian employment income, self-employment, PGBL and VGBL plans, investments, and cross-border moves. Work remotely with an experienced US tax advisor.
FBAR filing
Accounts held with Itaú, Banco do Brasil, or other institutions may require US tax reporting. If the aggregate maximum value exceeds $10,000 during the calendar year, separate FBAR filing may be required. We prepare and e-file your FinCEN Form 114 online.
FATCA reporting
As part of your US tax return filing, you may also need Form 8938 if the value of your specified foreign financial assets exceeds the applicable threshold for your filing status and residence.
PFIC filing
Brazilian mutual funds and ETFs may be treated as PFICs for US tax purposes and trigger additional US tax reporting requirements. We handle the necessary calculations and prepare Form 8621.
Expatriation
Considering renouncing US citizenship while living in Brazil? We provide US expat tax filing support throughout the expatriation process, including IRS compliance reviews, exit tax calculations, and Form 8854 preparation.
Amended returns
Need to correct a past US tax return? We handle amended tax filings for US citizens living abroad, helping fix reporting errors and recover overpaid tax where possible. Every amended return is reviewed by an experienced US tax accountant.
Free expat tax extension
Need more time for filing US tax returns from Brazil? Request an extension of your US tax filing deadline to October 15 at no additional cost. Eligible Americans can get US tax help with Form 4868. The extension gives you more time to file, not to pay.
