Tax return preparation for US expats
Get your US tax return filed accurately and on time. Serving Americans throughout Thailand, from Bangkok and Chiang Mai to Phuket and beyond – with your Thai tax situation fully accounted for.
Streamlined Procedure
Haven’t filed US taxes from Thailand? You may qualify if your failure to file was non-willful and you meet the IRS eligibility and non-residency requirements. We assess your circumstances before recommending the Streamlined Procedures.
Tax planning & consulting
Get expat tax advice tailored to your life in Thailand – including how the 180-day residency and remittance rules, Thai social security contributions, and local investment income affect your US return.
FBAR filing
Accounts held with Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn, SCB, or other institutions may be reportable when the aggregate maximum value of all your foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year. Our expat tax specialists file your FinCEN 114.
FATCA reporting
Thai financial institutions may report information about qualifying US-held accounts to Thai authorities for exchange with the IRS. If your Thailand-held assets exceed IRS thresholds, we prepare your Form 8938.
PFIC filing
Hold Thai mutual funds, provident funds, or other pooled investments through a Thai broker? The IRS often classifies these as PFICs. We handle your Form 8621.
Nonresident tax return
Non-US citizen living in Thailand with income from US rental property, business activities, or investments? You may need to file Form 1040-NR. We prepare nonresident returns and account for applicable withholding and US–Thailand treaty provisions.
Expatriation
Considering renouncing US citizenship while living in Thailand? We provide guidance on IRS expatriation requirements, including how Thai-held assets factor into exit tax calculations for covered expatriates.
Amended returns
Need to correct past US tax returns? Common issues for Americans in Thailand include missed Foreign Tax Credits and unreported foreign assets. An expat tax accountant on our team reviews every filing.
Free expat tax extension
Push your US tax filing deadline to October 15 at no additional cost. We help eligible Americans in Thailand file Form 4868 by the applicable deadline. The extension provides more time to file, not to pay; interest may apply to tax unpaid after April 15.
Why Americans in Thailand trust our US expat tax services
I am living in Thailand and use TFX to lessen the burden of keeping up with changes in the tax system. Everyone who has been involved with my filings over the years has been extremely helpful and has given peace of mind.
We had a very complicated tax situation because we incorrectly applied an international tax treaty and needed to correct that. Taxes for Expats helped us through the process. I will definitely use their services again. They take their time, so don’t be impatient. But the quality of their work is outstanding.
The form they provide is comprehensive and the staff always ask clarifying questions when something is unclear to them. Their responses are prompt and the forms filled in correctly.
The entire tax filing process was efficient, straightforward, and stress-free. The team was knowledgeable, responsive, and made it easy to navigate the complexities of U.S. taxes while living overseas. Everything was handled professionally and on time. Highly recommended for reliable tax filing assistance.
I have worked with TFX for 7 years, and they have made my life significantly easier. Filing my US taxes has always been an extreme source of stress and anxiety. But TFX makes it easier as they store all my past information. I was running later this year with getting my information through to file taxes, yet they were still able to get them done so I could file them on time.
