Even U.S. expats can get audited.

Tax notices must be responded to in a timely manner but living abroad can make that difficult. These notices are often delivered late and sometimes they’re not delivered at all causing potential penalties and interest.

We also understand that tax laws are complicated and dealing with the IRS when living overseas can be challenging. With H&R Block, we help solve and avoid these problems with our Advanced Notice and Audit Support service for expats.
