International Tax Services for Complex Filings

International tax services help businesses and individuals understand and manage tax obligations involving more than one country.

Assured Financial Services evaluates the facts of your cross-border situation and helps create a coordinated approach that supports accurate reporting and informed tax decisions.

FBAR is a reporting requirement for certain U.S. persons with foreign financial accounts. When the aggregate value of qualifying foreign accounts exceeds the applicable threshold during the year, FinCEN Form 114 may be required. Reportable accounts can include bank, brokerage, pension, or other financial accounts held outside the United States. The filing is separate from an income tax return and has its own deadline.

FATCA refers to U.S. rules designed to improve reporting of specified foreign financial assets.

Assured Financial Services can review unfiled or late U.S. tax returns and foreign account reporting obligations as part of an overall compliance strategy. The appropriate path depends on the type of filing, the facts surrounding the omission, and whether the IRS has already contacted you. Addressing the issue promptly with accurate documentation can help clarify available options and next steps.

Assured Financial Services performs work exclusively in-house with U.S.-based staff and does not use offshore outsourcing. This approach is designed to keep sensitive financial information within domestic handling processes. The firm also serves clients with complex and security-sensitive financial needs, including government contractors, and emphasizes confidentiality and careful stewardship of personally identifiable financial information.
