You live in Canada. The IRS still expects a return.
US citizens and green card holders file every year, wherever they live. Most people learn that late, and by then there are several years open. We prepare the US side from here, current year and back years.
Email us a line about your situation and two times that suit you. We reply to confirm a slot.
Who this is for
If any of these is you, you have a US filing to deal with.
- You are a US citizen living in Canada and you have never filed a US return.
- You hold a green card, you moved north, and nobody mentioned that the filing obligation moved with you.
- You are a Canadian resident earning US income, from an employer, a rental property, or a US entity.
- You are behind on the US side by a year or by several, and you want to know what getting current takes.
- You hold non-US financial accounts and you are not certain whether FBAR applies to you.
- You run a US corporation or a US-source business and the corporate return is due.
Recognise yourself in one of these? Book the consult and we will tell you which returns are open, what each one takes, and what it costs, before you commit to anything.

What changes a fee
Your fee is scoped and agreed in writing before we start. It moves for one reason only: the work moves. These are the things that change it.
- Additional filing years
- Rental or business schedules
- Additional state returns
- A residency or treaty position that needs formal support
- A spouse or partner filing added to the engagement
- Foreign account reporting beyond a standard set
Anything that changes the fee is agreed with you before the work happens. Never after.

2-minute check
Do you owe an FBAR filing as well?
Two questions most US filers in Canada get wrong, and the penalties for missing them are steep. Answer these and we will point you in the right direction.
Reporting detail lives on FBAR and T1135 Reporting.
Thresholds are indicative and change. A consult confirms your exact obligations. Indicative only, not tax advice.
