Trying to work out if you need to file a US tax return? We know that making sense of the huge amount of information online can be difficult, so we’re here to help.

All US citizens and permanent residents (Green Card holders) are considered to be tax residents of the USA, regardless of where in the world they reside. This means that a tax return must be filed annually to the IRS to report your worldwide income.

But don’t worry, there’s no need to back-file years and years of tax returns, rather there are amnesty programs available which require just the last three years of tax returns to be filed. With correct return preparation and professional help, less than 10% of our clients have tax to pay.
