Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act is an effort by the U.S. government to ensure U.S. taxpayers are declaring all of their worldwide income. Unlike most nations, U.S. taxes are based on citizenship and U.S. tax residency (green card holders), even if a person is living outside the U.S. Form 8938 was created through FATCA and requires reporting of all non-U.S. accounts and assets. This list is all encompassing and includes foreign bank, deposit, investment, retirement accounts, interests in foreign entities, and so on. The FATCA reporting form also requires foreign financial institutions to report their U.S. account holders’ information to the U.S. government.

H&R Block Expat Tax has always been fast, efficient and answers my questions. For 10 years I filed everything myself and never received a refund. Now I get a big refund every year! Wish I had known sooner. I highly recommend HRB Expat Tax.

I live in Kenya now and run my own online digital marketing business. Using this service has helped me save tons of time and energy on my taxes. I am also really relieved that they will help if I need it during audits. It really makes living abroad and doing taxes a million times better.

I have been using H&R block for a few years now. I live abroad, but don't make a lot of money. Filing with H&R block is as painless as doing taxes gets and my Advisor is wonderful and answers all my questions.
