Expert US Expat Tax Services

Living abroad does not end your US tax obligations. As an American citizen or green card holder overseas, you are required to file a US tax return every year — regardless of where you live or whether you owe any tax. Tax Samaritan specializes exclusively in the complex tax situations faced by Americans living and working outside the United States.

Expat Tax Compliance

Get the highest level of peace of mind about your expat taxes.

Tax Samaritan provides expat tax services as they should be — with care, attention, and a focus on your individual situation. You work with the same enrolled agent throughout the year, every year. No handoffs, no new preparers, no re-explaining your situation from scratch.

Proactive Tax Planning

Tax Samaritan goes beyond compliance.

We offer a proactive, holistic approach to your entire financial picture — with an emphasis on forward planning and optimization. If you’re paying more in US taxes than you should, we find the legal strategies to change that.

More Than a Tax Preparer

You need more than a data-entry service. You need an enrolled agent who understands the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, the Foreign Tax Credit, FBAR reporting, FATCA compliance, and every tax treaty that might apply to your situation — and who proactively applies that knowledge to your return every year.

Same expert, every year. You’ll never re-explain your situation to a new preparer. Your enrolled agent knows you, your tax history, and your goals.

Expat-only focus. We don’t file domestic US returns. Our entire practice is built around the specific needs of Americans living abroad.

Audit Satisfaction Guarantee. Expats are audited nearly six times as often as domestic taxpayers. If you’re ever audited, Tax Samaritan handles it — at no additional charge.

Secure client portal. Your personal and financial data is protected through an encrypted client portal. Your information never travels by email.

100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with our service, we refund your money. No questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. US citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) are required to file a US federal tax return every year, regardless of where they live or whether they have US-sourced income. This obligation exists even if you pay taxes in your country of residence. However, several provisions, including the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) and the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC), can significantly reduce or eliminate your US tax liability.

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) allows qualifying US taxpayers living abroad to exclude a portion of their foreign-earned income from US taxation. For tax year 2025, the exclusion amount is $126,500. To qualify, you must meet either the Physical Presence Test (at least 330 full days in a foreign country in a 12-month period) or the Bona Fide Residence Test (established residency in a foreign country).

FBAR stands for Foreign Bank Account Report (FinCEN Form 114). You are required to file an FBAR if you are a US person with financial interest in, or signature authority over, foreign financial accounts with an aggregate value exceeding $10,000 at any point during the calendar year. The FBAR is filed separately from your tax return and is due April 15, with an automatic extension to October 15.

If you have not filed US tax returns while living abroad, you may qualify for the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. A program specifically designed to help expats with unfiled returns come into compliance without penalties. The key requirement is that your failure to file must have been non-willful. Tax Samaritan’s enrolled agents can assess your situation and determine whether the streamlined procedures apply.

Tax Samaritan’s fees depend on the complexity of your tax situation including the number of countries involved, foreign income types, business interests, and required forms. We provide a free tax quote with no obligation. Submit your information and an enrolled agent will review your situation and provide a clear, upfront fee estimate before any work begins.
