Absolutely! If you’re a non-US citizen with US tax obligations – whether due to income earned in the US, business dealings, or other connections – we can help. Our team understands the complexities involved and will guide you through the necessary filings with ease.
We prepare a wide range of forms, including 1040/1040NR, Form 5471, Form 5472 with Form 1120, and many more. For a full list of forms we handle, please visit: Forms We Prepare.
Yes, we can file an extension for you at no additional cost. However, we require a $50 retainer, which will remain as a credit on your account for future TFX services.
We only work with seasoned CPAs or EAs who each have at least a decade of experience in the field. We don’t employ junior staff.
Our goal is to complete each tax return within fifteen (15) business days per filing year. We prioritize quality and accuracy, with every return undergoing a thorough review by both a preparer and a supervising CPA or EA.
If you're unsure whether you need to file US taxes, we can help you determine your filing requirements. Even if you're living abroad or have limited US ties, you may still have an obligation to file. We’ll review your specific situation and provide personalized guidance.
