We Know Life in Two Tax Systems.

You Assumed Filing Did Not Apply to You

You assumed U.S. filing was something you left behind, or that it never applied to you at all.

The foreign accounts you hold may trigger an FBAR on top of the return.

You Fear Paying the IRS Twice

You already pay tax where you live and worry a U.S. return means paying on the same income again.

You are unsure whether the FEIE, the Foreign Tax Credit, or both settle it in your favor.

You Just Found Out You Have to File

A bank asked about FATCA, or an inheritance surfaced a U.S. filing duty you never knew you had.

You have never filed because no one told you to, and you are unsure what happens now.

You're Behind, or Weighing Renunciation

Years have gone unfiled, and you want a penalty-free way to get current without the drama.

You are considering renouncing and need the tax picture before an irreversible step.

Dual Citizen Tax FAQs

Get answers to the questions dual citizens ask most, from double taxation to catching up after years away.

Usually not on the same income. Dual citizens must file a U.S. return on worldwide income, but the Foreign Tax Credit and the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (up to $130,000 for the 2025 tax year) offset most or all of the overlap.

You file in the U.S. to claim those benefits; if you already pay tax where you live, the credit usually erases the U.S. bill, especially in higher-tax countries.

Yes. Many dual citizens learn of the U.S. filing duty years or decades late, through a FATCA bank question, an inheritance, or a big transaction. The IRS Streamlined Filing Procedures are built for exactly that: three years of returns and six years of FBARs, plus Form 14653, the statement you sign explaining why you did not file.

The package is a flat $1,750. Most owe little or nothing after the Foreign Tax Credit, and getting current is more manageable than most people expect.

Yes. If the everyday checking, savings, and retirement accounts you hold where you live exceed $10,000 combined at any point in the year, an FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) is due and must be filed separately from your return.

We determine which accounts count, calculate the aggregate threshold, and e-file it. FBAR is a flat $125 for up to five accounts, with each additional block of five at $60. If you are behind on past FBARs, we help you catch up, too.

Yes. The decision to renounce is personal, but we handle the tax side. We help you file five years of compliant returns and Form 8854 so you are not treated as a covered expatriate, and we explain the exit tax under Section 877A if it could apply to you.

A consultation at $250+ walks through the full financial picture before you take an irreversible step, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.

Pricing is flat-fee and published up front. A federal return is a flat $565, FBAR is $125 for up to five accounts, Form 8938 is $120 for up to five accounts plus $65 for each additional five, the Streamlined catch-up package is $1,750, and state returns are $185.

UK Self Assessment is $910 and is billed separately from the U.S. return, and consultations start at $250. You see your full cost before any work begins.

A dedicated Greenback accountant, a U.S. CPA or IRS Enrolled Agent experienced with dual-citizen filing, prepares your return from start to finish. It is never outsourced and never automated. The same professional works with you year after year and coordinates your U.S. filing with your other country’s system, so your return is handled consistently and correctly.

Just get started and tell us where you hold your second citizenship, whether you have filed before, and what accounts you hold there. You do not have to work out which services apply or in what order.

Your accountant reviews what you send, confirms what your situation requires, whether that is a return, an FBAR, past years, or the renunciation paperwork, and prepares it together at the published flat fee for each piece.

Start Your U.S. Return, Wherever Home Is Now.

Work with a CPA or Enrolled Agent who knows dual-citizen filing. We apply the Foreign Tax Credit, keep you compliant, and prevent double taxation.
