Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing international business corridors in the U.S. Foreign-owned distribution centers, logistics operations, and corporate regional headquarters create cross-border tax obligations that require specialized handling. I manage the full return and every international form connected to it.
Atlanta's position as a logistics hub means foreign-owned companies operate warehouses, distribution centers, and freight operations throughout the metro area. Each of these entities triggers Form 5472 for transactions with the foreign parent. I prepare the entity return, all required 5472s, and the transfer pricing documentation that supports intercompany charges for management fees, inventory, and shared services.
Foreign companies that establish their Southeast U.S. regional headquarters in Atlanta create Form 5471 obligations, GILTI exposure, and intercompany transaction reporting that connects the Atlanta entity to the global structure. I handle the full U.S. compliance from entity returns through executive personal filings.
Atlanta employers are bringing in foreign talent on H-1B, L-1, and E-2 visas at an increasing rate. These workers need dual-status returns, treaty elections, FBAR compliance, and coordination with home-country tax obligations. I handle the complete U.S. return and every international form required.
Atlanta entrepreneurs who maintain businesses in their home countries or who formed U.S. entities while retaining foreign operations need coordinated filing that covers both the domestic and international layers. I integrate expat returns, FBAR, and entity-level reporting into one engagement.
Every Atlanta engagement runs fully remote. Document exchange, video consultations, and return delivery happen through a secure client portal. My office at 222 S Prospect Ave, Park Ridge, IL 60068 is available by appointment, but most Atlanta clients work entirely remotely. This fits well for corporate clients managing compliance across multiple locations and for business owners who travel frequently.
Form 5472 is required for every reportable transaction between the U.S. entity and its foreign owner or related parties. This includes management fees, inventory transfers, loans, and shared service charges. The penalty for not filing is $25,000 per form per year.
Yes. Visa holders have treaty elections, foreign account reporting (FBAR, Form 8938), and residency-year transitions that general preparers frequently miss. I handle the complete filing from dual-status first-year returns through long-term compliance.
Yes. Georgia has a state income tax, and the return is prepared as part of the same engagement. For clients with income sourced to other states, I handle all required state filings and the allocation analysis.
The U.S. entity will need annual returns with Form 5472 for related-party transactions, transfer pricing documentation, and potentially Form 5471 depending on the ownership structure. I handle the full setup and ongoing compliance.
Yes. I prepare individual returns for international employees including dual-status first-year filings, treaty elections, FBAR and FATCA reporting, and coordination with any relocation allowances or gross-up provisions.
