I live abroad,
do I have to file a US tax return?

Most US citizens (including dual citizens and Green Card holders) living abroad do have to file a US federal tax return.

You’ll need to file a 2025 US tax return when your annual worldwide income exceeds any of these thresholds:

☑️ US$15,750 for single filers.

☑️ US$31,500 for joint income filers married to an American or a Green Card holder.

☑️ US$5 for individuals married to a non-American and your own total income is over $5 (that’s not a typo). 

☑️ US$23,625 for Head of Household (Married or Divorced with US dependents).

☑️ US$400 if you’re self-employed or have any freelance income during the year.

SIMPLE, SECURE, AND BUILT FOR U.S. EXPATS WHO LIVE OVERSEAS

How does the process work from start to finish?


1. Start the questionnaire

Answer a few guided questions and upload your documents.


2. We build your return

An IRS-licensed tax professional reviews your information, applies FEIE or the Foreign Tax Credit, and prepares your full federal return.


3. Review and approve

You receive a clean, easy-to-read draft. Ask questions anytime.


4. We file your return

Once you approve it, we e-file your return with the IRS and send confirmation. If your return cannot be e-filed, we’ll give you the exact IRS mailing address.


5. Ongoing support

If the IRS contacts you, we help explain your return and guide you through the next steps. You get a fully prepared, accurate federal return, without needing to visit the US or read a single IRS form.
