Missionaries and AID Workers

If you are a long time missionary or aid worker (typically longer than one year) in a country outside of the US, you may be eligible for advantageous tax treatment from the US but also additional reporting requirements.  We will help you simplify and stay compliant with any and all US tax obligations.   For our missionary and foreign aid worker clients, we look at:

• FEIE (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) or FTC (Foreign Tax Credit) eligibility and applicability
• Breaking tax ties with your US state income tax
• Advise on the current year and expected ongoing FBAR and FATCA reporting requirements.
• Evaluate how your travel patterns can affect your obligations to other countries
• Educate about the importance of 183-day rules
• Most advantageous retirement contribution options
• Help locate and coordinate a tax professional(s) in foreign jurisdiction to understand your obligations
