If you’ve fallen behind on your U.S. tax filings while living overseas, you’re not alone. Many of our clients once felt trapped by complex rules, unfiled returns, and fear of IRS penalties.

From the Netherlands to Puerto Rico: 30% tax → 4% tax

Now, his operations are seamless across both borders—and his peace of mind is priceless.

A Note from Victor Delerme,

Founder & CPA

"For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with U.S. citizens and business owners around the world who share one frustration—navigating international tax rules that feel impossible to get right.

Most of them came to me after paying far more than they should have, or worse, finding out their tax structure was never compliant to begin with.

That’s why our firm was built differently. We don’t just prepare taxes—we design global tax strategies that help you stay compliant while keeping more of what you earn.

International tax shouldn’t feel like a maze. With the right guidance, it becomes a roadmap—to freedom, compliance, and real savings."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to file U.S. taxes if I live or have a business outside the U.S.?

If you are a U.S. citizen or green-card holder you must file U.S. returns and report worldwide income — even if you pay tax where you live. There are credits and exclusions that often reduce or eliminate double taxation, but you still need correct filings to claim them.

What documentation should I keep for cross-border transactions?

You should maintain contracts, intercompany invoices, transfer-pricing analyses, board minutes, payroll records, and local filings. Audits rely on contemporaneous documentation, and good records make controversies far easier to resolve.

How are international taxes handled for a U.S.-registered LLC with income from multiple countries?

If you own a U.S. LLC and operate globally, the key question is where your income is sourced. Income generated from activities inside the U.S. is generally taxed by the IRS. Income earned abroad is typically taxed in the country where it’s generated.

For example, we recently advised a travel company selling vacation packages worldwide. Their U.S. sales were taxed in the U.S., but packages sold for tours overseas were taxed in the countries where the tours took place. The takeaway: U.S.-sourced income is taxed in the U.S., and foreign-sourced income is generally taxed where it’s earned.

We help business owners correctly allocate and report this income to avoid double taxation and stay fully compliant.

Do I get taxed twice if I have dual citizenship?

If you’re a U.S. citizen, even with dual citizenship, you must report your worldwide income to the IRS. That means ALL income earned must be declared on your U.S. tax return. But here’s the good news: the U.S. provides a foreign tax credit for taxes you already paid abroad.

In practice, your international income will be taxed first in the country you earned it, and then reported in the U.S., where you’d apply a credit for those taxes paid.

This system is designed to prevent double taxation. With the right planning and documentation, we can ensure your foreign income is properly credited, so you never pay tax twice on the same earnings.

How do foreign tax credits and treaties protect me from double taxation?

Foreign tax credits let you offset foreign income taxes against U.S. tax on the same income; tax treaties can change withholding rates and allocation rules.

Proper documentation and treaty analysis are essential to capture these benefits.

I operate from abroad but want to keep a U.S. presence. What's the best way to stay compliant?

When you manage a U.S.-registered entity from another country, compliance is about substance and documentation. You’ll need the right licenses, contracts, and banking setup. Just as importantly, you’ll want clear reporting of income earned inside vs. outside the U.S.

We typically start with a “cross-border health check” that reviews your entity structure, income sourcing, foreign tax exposure, and reporting requirements. That’s how we make sure your business stays legal, efficient, and ready to scale globally.

As a U.S. citizen living abroad and earning U.S. income, do I qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)?

If you live and work outside the U.S., you may qualify for one of the most powerful tax breaks available to Americans abroad. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) allows you to exclude up to roughly $120,000 of foreign earned income from U.S. taxation (the exact amount adjusts each year).

To qualify, you must live outside the U.S. for at least 330 full days in a 12-month period or meet the bona fide residence test, proving you’ve established residency in another country. Keep in mind, you also need to be a tax resident where you live.

We work with clients across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe to ensure they qualify correctly because small mistakes here can cost big in penalties or lost credits.

I haven't filed U.S. taxes in several years. What are my options for getting back in compliance without major penalties?

You’re not alone, the IRS knows that international filings can be complicated. Typically, the IRS looks back six years when reviewing unfiled returns. The good news? There are well-established programs to help taxpayers get current and minimize penalties.

Here’s what we do for clients:

- Power of Attorney: We contact the IRS on your behalf.

- Record Retrieval: We obtain transcripts and past records to confirm income reported to the IRS.

- Reconstruction: We reconcile your income and deductions from your own records.

- Penalty Relief: We request abatement and negotiate reduced penalties where possible.

This approach has helped many of our clients come back into compliance, often paying far less than they expected.

I'm an expat with investments abroad. How do I report and minimize taxes on foreign income and capital gains?

If you’re a U.S. citizen, the IRS taxes you on your worldwide income including interest, dividends, and capital gains earned abroad. However, the U.S. also grants foreign tax credits for taxes paid to other countries.

That means if you’ve already paid tax on your investment income abroad (for example, through a local withholding tax or treaty country), the U.S. usually lets you claim a dollar-for-dollar credit to offset U.S. taxes on the same income, effectively preventing double taxation.

To optimize your situation, we recommend:

- Keeping detailed records of taxes paid abroad (including brokerage statements).

- Identifying which income qualifies for foreign tax credits.

- Reviewing tax treaties to confirm rates and treatment.

Our team helps expats with cross-border portfolios maximize credits, avoid duplicate reporting, and ensure IRS forms like Form 1116 and FBAR are filed correctly.

What role should my CPA play in reducing taxes vs. just filing returns?

A high-value CPA (or firm) should not simply be a “tax return filer,” but a proactive tax planner / strategist. Here’s how they differ:

Tax preparer: Backward-looking: collect your documents, fill and file returns. Works mostly around tax season and ensures compliance while claiming deductions you already qualify for.

Tax planner / tax strategist: Forward-looking: design business & financial structure to reduce tax burden. Works all year long, not only during tax season, with periodic reviews. Their strategies lower your future taxes, shift income/deductions optimally, and anticipates changes.

Many CPAs or firms do both roles to a degree, but not all are skilled or experienced in advanced tax planning. Some may stick to preparation because it's lower risk, easier to standardize, or because they lack deep knowledge in strategies for high earners.

Your tax planner should essentially be your partner who sees your full financial picture and integrates planning into your business and personal life.
