I am on an H-1B visa working in New York. Do I need a specialist?
Yes. H-1B holders often have treaty elections, foreign account reporting, and residency-year transitions that general preparers handle incorrectly. I work with visa holders across all stages, from first-year dual-status returns through green card conversion, covering FBAR, Form 8938, treaty positions, and any foreign income that needs to be reported or excluded.
My company is foreign-owned with a New York office. What forms are required?
At minimum, Form 5472 is required for every reportable transaction between the U.S. entity and its foreign owner or related parties. Late filing carries a $25,000 penalty per form. I prepare the entity return, the 5472, and any additional international information returns so the entire structure is covered.
Can you handle New York State taxes along with the federal and international returns?
Yes. New York State and New York City returns are prepared as part of the same engagement. For clients who also have income in New Jersey, Connecticut, or other states, I handle all required state filings and the residency allocation analysis.
Do I need to be in the same city as my tax advisor?
No. Every engagement runs fully remote through a secure portal. Most of my New York clients have never met me in person. The depth of international tax work depends on technical expertise, not proximity. You get the same direct-advisor model regardless of location.
I have a foreign corporation and need Form 5471 filed. Can you help?
Yes. Form 5471 is one of the most complex international information returns, and it is a core part of my practice. I handle all categories of filers, all schedules, and the related GILTI and Subpart F calculations that connect to your individual or corporate return.
What does an international tax return cost for a New York client?
Individual returns start at $400 for typical W-2 situations. International complexity (FBAR, 5471, 5472, treaty work, multi-entity structures) is quoted during the free 30-minute consultation based on the actual scope. You receive a flat-fee quote before any work begins, with no surprises.
I have not filed U.S. taxes in several years. Can you help me catch up?
Yes. Delinquent filing is common for foreign nationals, expats, and anyone with complex international obligations. I build the filing sequence, determine which relief programs apply (streamlined, delinquent FBAR, voluntary disclosure), and execute the full correction plan through resolution.
Do you work with hedge funds or private equity structures that have foreign investors?
Yes. I handle the U.S. tax compliance for fund structures that involve foreign limited partners, FIRPTA withholding, treaty-based reductions, and the annual K-1 reporting that flows through to individual returns. The international layer is built into the same engagement as the domestic filing.
