Tax Challenges US Expats Face?

Common problem

Answer

icon

Do I still need to file US taxes even though I live in Spain?

icon
icon

Yes, the US taxes citizens on worldwide income. You must file Form 1040 every year, plus like FBAR or FATCA.

icon

I already pay tax in Spain. Why do I still owe tax in the US?

icon
icon

If you don’t apply Foreign Tax Credit, FEIE, or US–Spain Tax Treaty correctly, you risk double taxation.

icon

My US accountant doesn’t understand Spanish tax residency rules.

icon
icon

Many US CPAs lack knowledge of IRPF, Beckham Law, international residency, or Spanish income categories.

icon

My Spanish gestor doesn’t understand US obligations like FBAR or FATCA.

icon
icon

Spanish accountants rarely know what Form 2555, Form 1116, or foreign reporting requirements mean.

icon

I’m worried about IRS penalties because I’m overseas.

icon
icon

Expats risk fines for misfiling foreign accounts, foreign income, or not claiming the right credits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to file US taxes while living in Spain?

Yes. All US citizens and green card holders must file a US tax return every year, regardless of where they live.

Will I get double taxed by the US and Spain?

Not if filed correctly. Using Foreign Tax Credit, FEIE, and the US–Spain Tax Treaty, we eliminate double taxation for most clients.

What about FBAR and FATCA filings?

If you hold over $10,000 across foreign accounts at any time, FBAR is mandatory. We handle FBAR + FATCA filings.

Can you file my Spanish tax return too?

Yes. We file your IRPF and coordinate values with your US return to ensure consistency.

Is my information secure?

Absolutely. We follow EU GDPR guidelines and IRS confidentiality standards.
